Design Considerations
The design must provide a covered area of 2,000 square feet equivalent to twenty units of 10 x 10 feet throughout the designated area. The minimum amount of tents is fifteen. While traditional tents have a clear modulation in relation to street vendors and other functions, the competition is seeking designs that are able to provide for multiple spatial configurations, from freestanding units to large collective areas.
Budget / Prize
The total budget for design, construction, assembly, and disassembly is $20,000.
The total budgeted amount for the project [design, management, permits, production, mounting, and dismounting] is $20,000. Any costs in excess thereof are the sole responsibility of the Architect.
Additionally, the selected project will be awarded a design, construction, and managing fee in the amount of $7,500.
