The Architects’ Journal and Urban Splash have teamed up to give an emerging UK architect a £500,000 building to design in Liverpool. The Tribeca Infobox design competition is open to anyone from students to newly established practices. A top jury will choose a winning project, but all submitted schemes will have the chance to be part of a major exhibition in Liverpool this summer.
For final year students this is the chance of a lifetime.Urban Splash is committed to building the selected project, whatever the level of experience of the winner. So, don’t worry about having Part 3 or PII insurance, or even having a company name. What we’re looking for is the idea. Urban Splash will form a a team around the winner that can deliver the project.
