The winning design will be built with funding from The Art Fund Prize of £100,000 (Dhs 550,000), the UK’s largest single arts prize, which was awarded to The Lightbox in 2008.
In the interest of seeking a forward-thinking approach, Tent London, who is managing the competition, has proposed a digital method of fabrication.
The process is as follows:
Applicants should prepare their design for The Art Fund Pavilion in CAD
Entries will be judged by an elite international panel including Wayne Hemingway and Sarah Ichioka, Director of the Architecture Foundation.
Facit, whose strapline is “We Print Houses”, will engineer and build the winning design. The components are cut out using a computer controlled cutter and can be simply assembled on site.
