Image Models Provide New View of Architectural Icons

The International Union of Architects is launching a student competition to re-create 20th-century architectural icons with image models. The entries must be based on digital photographs using Autodesk ImageModeler® and Autodesk Stitcher® Unlimited software, which will be provided free for the competition.

Students are free to choose the structure they wish to represent, from a major landmark to an unknown building, with the condition that it was built between 1901 and 2000. On the basis of the Commission’s selection, the international jury will award a Grand Prize of 3.000 euro per category (that is 2 grand prizes of 3.000 euro each) for the best e-portfolios in the final ranking.

Docomomo will award two specifc prizes of 1 000 euro, in recognition of the quality of an image model of a building or ensemble of the “Modern Movement”
The winning entries, with the names of their authors, will be presented on the site www.the-area.com

All phases of the competition will be conducted on-line at www.3d20th.archi.fr
