179prs_YOU’VE GOT TO BE IN TO WIN: BUT IS IT WORTH IT?

In order to win, or succeed at something, one must first compete or try. However is the pain worth the gain? When considering entering an architectural competition one must surely ask: “is it worth the effort?“

According to Wonderland: „Architects invest more than 5,000 hours of work per year averaging ten competition entries per annum. However, at best, only one of those projects is getting realised. The reliability in the competition system exists nonetheless: for 40 percent of all participating architects’ offices in this exhibition, competitions are the principal source of income.“ Really? A principal source of income? What country are they talking about? Hmmm… time to do some practice-based research. Nonetheless, at the Galerie architektury the exhibition „Deadline Today!“ will be shown until April 22nd 2015. It is based upon a Wonderland study, a call for individual experiences with competition practices – displayed in stories, ideas and photos – that went out to over 100 European architectural teams.
