Critical Conversations: The State of the Design Competition

The field for design competitions has never been more crowded than it is now. Competitions for prominent buildings, for social impact, for community connections, for design research… the list goes on. As CAF is in the midst of conducting its first-ever open international ideas competition, we ask: what is the state of the design competition today? What is the impact on competitors, sponsors, the public? Above all, what is the net impact on design?

Please join us for a special Panel Discussion led by ChiDesign Ideas Competition Jurors:
