From envisioning a bustling innovation center to a wellness retreat, from a recreational urban oasis to a contemporary sport complex or a university campus, the creative horizon spans infinitely, beckoning designers to explore a multitude of possibilities encouraging a multifunctional approach.

GUIDELINES

The allure of an exceptional architecture lies in its ability to inspire diverse interpretations. Therefore, there are no limitations regarding the determination of whether the intervention will be of low or high impact. Both approaches will be welcomed and assessed by the jury panel on equal basis. 

Participants are welcome to propose any kind of modifications to the site. However, the preservation of the original architectural and artistic elements of Laguna Vere will be considered of utmost importance.
