Boarding 2014

“How do young European architects and designers conceive public spaces and offer innovative points of view?” is the theme of the European call for projects Boarding 2014.

Boarding is a European call for projects aimed at holders of architecture / design / landscape / urban design & planning diplomas who gradu­ated since 2012.

Arc en Rêve Centre d’Architecture and the École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture et de Paysage in Bordeaux wish to support and encourage research and creative projects focusing on issues relating to the city and new approaches to residential space. The first edition in 2014 has been given the theme of Interactions.

As an interactive space, public space corresponds to all kinds of definitions and uses: it is a place for exchange and for collective and individual acts; a place for sharing and a place of conflict, repre­sentation and experimentation; an exceptional place and a place of day-to-day experience; a place of civic awareness or anonymity; a political space where consensus and dissent coexist; and so on.

Boarding 2014, Interactions

Today, at a time when the spatialities of the contemporary world are being expressed and deployed within public space in all its various dimensions– scale, temporality, physical, intan­gible, visible, invisible – how do young European architects, designers, landscape architects and urban designers conceive these spaces and offer innovative points of view?

This call for projects is open to holders of Masters degrees (or equivalent) who graduated between 2012 and 2014 from a European school in the fields of architecture / design / planning / land­scape design / development.
