Papay Gyro Nights Art Festival and island Papa Westray (Papay) are proud to announce First Open International Architectural Competition "BONFIRE" - grassroots celebration of an ancient tradition of Bonfires and new ideas in architecture.
BONFIRE Competition is open to Architects and Students of Architecture worldwide.
The Bonfire Competition objective is:
- To construct and combust a fire at Orkney's festivities.
- To use fire as that which sustains. A unique combination of constructed order and combustible disorder. Conception vs. destruction.
- To be cognizant of the Second Law of Thermodynamics, reinforcing the intrinsic link between entropy and architecture, that which is plenary energy.
- To take into account the chief principals: Scale, Multiple levels of intensity and materials.
- To consider the history, culture and uniqueness of the Orkney Islands, their location at the top of the world - a place of alternating midnight suns and reigning darkness - lends special meaning to fire from the beginnings of the Orkney civilization to the present.
- To go through the process of building a fire to building a building with and for fire and all of its attendant meanings and myths.
- To Honor the fire that burns in your mind recognizing that Death is an endless birth.
