The Design Competition For the The New Normal.? design competition, participants were asked to submit proposals for a temporary pavilion, located within the city of Liverpool.
Participants were encouraged to design a pavilion that would reflect the potential opportunities, changes, or challenges we might encounter in a post Covid world.At its core, each submission was asked to present a unique perspective of the change in societal needs post Coronavirus pandemic, and resolve and/or respond to this through tectonic formulations.
Entrants were asked to consider the effect of the Coronavirus pandemic, and the possible changes we might encounter to our cities. Questions regarding the new normal of the built environment continue to sit at the forefront of architectural conversation. As we begin to move toward the end of the pandemic, proposals of a potential future, whether pessimistic or optimistic, represent a significant (and unanswered) topic for discussion in the architectural community.
Participants were asked to formulate strong predictions, based on scientific research, questioning the long term impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on society and the built environment Conceptual submissions were welcomed,however participants were asked to consider a number of factors including size and form, capacity, sustainability, the temporary nature of the pavilion, and the associated structural strategy.
Entrants were required to limit their submission to 2A2 sheets, as well as a key image best representing their proposal.
This particular entry was one of the honorable mentions in Liverpool Architectural Society year catalog 2020 - 2021.
