Thanks to co-chairs Yvonne & Angela of VYAG for organizing the monthly process.
Monday Night I participated in a debate on the topic of
“Competitions are beneficial to Architectural Practice.”
Mel (make), Scott (wowowa) & myself were put on the negative team. Ironically, we won. Despite being a fun night, it’s a serious issue. This is in response to the recent Flinders Street Competition, a topic of some controversy.
Whilst I do not necessarily agree with the “long-list’s” decision to publish their entries prior to the stage 2 close, it does call in to question the amount of time wasted in general by the procession in the procurement of projects, especially open competitions.
