All proceeds from the voting are to support the work Emergency Architects Australia are undertaking in Samoa and Tonga. (http://www.emergencyarchitects.org.au/) Nearly $1000 was raised.<br /><br />Pip Cheshire (</span><span style="font-size:130%;">http://www.cheshirearchitects.com/) </span><span style="font-size:130%;">very kindly agreed to select projects of special merit. After 2 hours of trawling across and through sheds 12 + 5 and all 45 TRANS-FORM-ers projects Pip chose to give the following awards -<br />First prize: </span><span style="font-size:130%;">#10 Non Inflate<br />Runner Up: </span><span style="font-size:130%;">#09 This Way Up<br /><br />And highly commended for "heroic failure"-<br />#35 Dynamic Folding<br />#38 Belladonna<br />#20 Stretch<br /><br />These projects grappled with difficult architectural and design issues, and while they may not have fully resolved all of these they were ambitious in scale and the groups clearly learnt a great deal by realising the projects.<br /><br />Congratulations to all of these students.

Whether driven by political and economic necessity or resulting from a surplus of leisure time, people are more globally mobile than ever before. How might design, architecture and art respond to this relentless fluidity of people, capital, data, ideas and commodity goods? As the global financial crisis of late 2008 unfolds this competition might address the implications for contemporary mobility.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">TRAN</span><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" >S</span><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">-F</span><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:85%;" >O</span><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">RM-</span><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:85%;" >ERS</span> </span>invites students to fabricate “mobile architectures”. These will take part in a convoy that will move through Auckland city, creating a public spectacle and rousing curiosity. On arrival at the Architecture Week venue, Shed 12, your project will undergo transformation, revealing an interior, to be exhibited and experienced as part of the Architecture Week Pecha Kucha evening.<br /><br />The “mobile architecture” projects in this competition will examine the relationship between exterior and interior through transformative actions. The provocative potential of your project may recall a state of flux, even limbo, the contemporary condition for many of the globe’s inhabitants. Your proposal may celebrate individuality, public expression and diversity in the manner of a masquerade. And, as with the masquerade, deception and surprise can be strategic provocations. They goad responses by promoting the unexpected and unpredictable. Provocations can disturb or confound. Sometimes they are simply absurd.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">This is a two-stage competition.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">TRANS-F<span style="font-size:85%;">O</span>RM-<span style="font-size:85%;">ERS</span> Stage 1:</span><br />This part of the competition is for proposals.
