<div class="inner">
<p>The <strong class="textoverde"><a title="" href="http://www.iaac.net/">Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia</a></strong> and <strong class="textoverde"><a title="" href="http://www.hp.com/go/graphicarts/">HP</a></strong> are pleased to announce the 3rd Advanced Architecture Contest, on the theme of THE SELF-SUFFICIENT CITY: Envisioning the habitat of the future.
The aim of the competition is to promote online discussion and research through which to generate insights and visions, ideas and proposals that help us envisage what the city and the habitat of the 21st century will be like.
The competition is open to architects, planners, designers and artists who want to contribute to progress in making the world more habitable by developing a proposal capable of responding to emerging challenges in areas such as ecology, information technology, socialization and globalization, with a view to enhancing the connected self-sufficiency of our cities.</p>
<p>The competition jury, which is composed of architects, directors of some of the world's foremost architecture schools, and mayors of cities such as Barcelona, is looking for outstanding proposals for any city in the world, at any scale, and within any timescale. Competition entries should be submitted via the Internet (<a title="" href="http://www.advancedarchitecturecontest.org/">www.advancedarchitecturecontest.org</a>) on Connected metropolises, Eco neighborhoods, Self-sufficient buildings, Intelligent homes or any other proposal for a short-, medium or long-term project to create habitats that respond to the social, cultural, environmental and economic conditions that may obtain in the 21st century. The proposal should include whatever texts, drawings and other images may be needed to make it fully understandable.</p>
<p>The competition prizes will consist of three scholarships for the <strong class="textoverde"><a title="" href="http://www.iaac.net/">IaaC</a></strong> Masters in Advanced Architecture for academic year 2010-11, cash prizes, and the latest generation of large-format <strong class="textoverde"><a title="" href="http://www.hp.com/go/graphicarts/">HP</a></strong> printers. The selected projects will go on show in a major exhibition, due to open in Barcelona in May 2010, which will then travel to key cities around the world. The best projects will also be featured in a book to be published by Actar. The project is supported by the Spanish Ministry of Housing, the Generalitat de Catalunya, Barcelona City Council, and the publishing house <a title="" href="http://www.actar.es/">Actar</a>.</p>
