Iconic, Innovative, Integrative: progettare le case sotto l'Hollywood Sign

concorso di idee

Arch Out Loud, in partnership con Last House on Mulholland, indice il concorso Hollywood, con il quale chiede ai partecipanti di progettare la casa del futuro, caratterizzata dall'uso di tecnologie innovative, dal ricorso a strategie ambientali integrative e dal tentativo di instaurare una stretta relazione con il forte Hollywood Sign. Il concorso è una sfida al concetto tradizionale di progettazione residenziale e all'idea di casa moderna e vuole invitare i concorrenti a pensare a un'abitazione che si inserisca nella natura e nelle nostre vite, oggi come domani.

I progetti dovranno rispondere a tutte le esigenze tipiche di una casa moderna, predisponendo spazi per dormire, per mangiare, per rilassarsi e per stare insieme, adatti ad una o più persone. Nonostante la libertà che viene lasciata ai partecipanti per quanto riguarda l'organizzazione degli spazi interni e la scelta dell'involucro esterno, ci sono delle caratteristiche che le proposte devono avere, ovvero essere case:

  • iconiche, perché devono raccontare la location iconica in cui si inseriscono
  • innovative, perché devono rispecchiare gli edifici del XXI secolo e portare ad una rivalutazione dei concetti di vivere e lavorare
  • integrative, perché devono essere rispettose del contesto storico, culturale, sociale e ambientale in cui si inseriscono.

La giuria selezionerà, tra le proposte pervenute, 50 finalisti e, tra questi, i vincitori dei primi tre premi in denaro e i 10 progetti meritevoli di menzioni d'onore. Saranno assegnati, inoltre, i Directors' e Owners' Awards, rispettivamente da Arch Out Loud e da Steve Alper, fondatore di Last House on Mulholland.

Arch Out Loud is partnering with Last House on Mulholland (LHOM) to host the HOLLYWOOD design competition.

The HOLLYWOOD competition will serve as a design charette to explore the potential of the site, its relation to the Hollywood Sign and the surrounding park and community. Participants will have the freedom to explore the home's program, design style, and contextual relationship.

The competition will challenge the traditional approach to residential design as well as the nature of a modern day home. Participants will study the role a home plays in our lives, both today and in the future. 

Participants may chose certain objectives and programs on which to focus. Regardless of any chosen focus, all proposals should aim to express the iconic location, innovative design, and integration into the local context.

  • ICONIC
    - Capitalizing on the prominence of the site location.
    - Exploring the concept of icon in the built environment.
  • INNOVATIVE

    - Rethinking our view on living and working in a home.
  • INTEGRATIVE

    - Preserving and enhancing the history and nature of the local neighborhood and community.
