SUBMISSION

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

By submitting a competition entry you grant permission to the competition organizers to publish all or part of your submission when publishing the competition results.

1. Competitors will submit design proposals as web pages accessible by Internet browsers. Entries will be viewed using the currently shipping version of either Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator, as available at the time of judging, with plug-ins for viewing VRML 2.0, QuickTime 3.0, and QuickTime VR files. It is the responsibility of the participants to assess their pages' compatibility with both browsers, on Windows and MacOS computers. Neither the Organizing Committee, nor the Jury will necessarily have browsers with more specialized configurations. Participants should design their submissions accordingly, aiming to communicate their ideas to a large audience on the Internet.

2. The first page of each proposal will have information to clearly direct the viewer to the rest of the pages. It will have a recognizable image of the proposal with a brief statement describing it.

3. Pages will be viewed at the resolution of 1024 by 768 pixels. All pages should require a minimum of scrolling to view, as this will help ensure that the jurors will see all that is intended.

4. There are no limits on the total size or the number of web pages, although participants should recognize that jurors may find succinct presentations easier to navigate. It is recommended that graphics be clear and relatively small in size, that is, saved in JPEG or other high compression format. All text must be written in English. The site should be clearly organized for review, with clear and consistent navigational aids.

Submissions must contain:

1. Design statement including an itemized response to the program, indicating ways in which it was met using spatial simulation and/or physical solutions.

2. Diagrams appropriate to the proposal. Physical and hybrid proposals should have scaled plans, sections and elevations of their configuration.

3. Simulated (cyber) spaces must be presented in such a way that their purpose and relationship to the rest of the scheme is clear. These spaces may further be explained through additional graphics and text.
