ARCHI-HACK: OIL PLATFORM now is over!
ARCHI-HACK: OIL PLATFORM: The participants are asked to repurpose an oil platform by following the requirements of the brief and one axonometric projection to represent it, with absolute freedom of interpretation, technique and level of abstraction.
About Competition
The aim of the “Archi-hack - Oil Platform” competition is to develop one drawing to communicate a conceptual design. The participants are asked to repurpose an oil platform by following the requirements of the brief and one axonometric projection to represent it, with absolute freedom of interpretation, technique and level of abstraction. Even the concept of axonometric itself can be questioned in order to craft the most expressive way to represent the concept. We encourage you to push the boundaries of creativity. You’re free to re-invent and hack any oil platform of your choice, in order to become whatever function, you might see fit: it can either be a statement, or have a very strong practical use. As long as the proposal utilizes an oil platform structure to create a revitalized form in its own distinct way.
