About Competition

The aim of this design contest is to promote discussion and research in order to generate insights and visions about the city to come
The challenge is to design a project related to the future of cities when flying technologies are widespread. Humanity is trying to achieve new heights and transform the air into the new ground. Even though people already know how to fly, how will the world change when flying devices are everywhere? Who would be new pedestrians in a city of self-driving vehicles and how will social life be changed? What will happen when a window of a house becomes a door to your flying car? There are a lot of scenarios presented in books and the movies about future of cities, but a future like this is coming soon.

Participants are free to decide on the subject, scale and location of the project and can develop a project for a new city, new building, new device, new social platform or a mix of all of the above.
