Making competitions: Within the limits / Beyond the limits

In English

What role do architecture competitions play for the architecture offices?
Are they an adequate means of finding the next commission?
Which competition system works best?
What is the situation in other European countries?

The findings of a pan-European study carried out specially for the exhibition ‘Deadline Today!’ provide the basis for a discussion. The symposium ‘Making competitions: Within the limits / Beyond the limits’ will pursue these questions.

In talks and contributions to the discussion, competition participants, jurors, representatives of the organisations behind the competitions, and the Wonderland team, explore the contents of the report as well as the topographical boundaries.
