Henning Larsen Architects - Competition

Writing about Architecture Competition

The Henning Larsen Foundation is launching an international competition on writing about architecture - the third in a row of architecture competitions. The first was about “photographing architecture”, the second about “drawing architecture” and the third – “Time and Space” – focuses on “writing about architecture”.

Photos, drawings and texts challenge architecture. They can be a branch of art or a piece of architecture in themselves, or they can communicate an idea or a dream. The dream is the focus of attention in this competition.

An old, blurred photo, a sketch or a piece of writing can sometimes evoke thoughts and images stronger and more fascinating than those found in today’s architecture projects.

Texts have the ability to evoke images inside us. The hope of the competition is that an essay, a poem, a fairytale or another kind of text will provide inspiration for architecture that creates dreams about time and space that could be.

Competition entries can be submitted in either Danish or English. The entries will be evaluated on the basis on their description of space and spatiality and whether they offer something new to the genre – writing about architecture. Previously published texts and texts about architecture created by Henning Larsen Architects are not accepted for evaluation.

The Henning Larsen Foundation was established in 2001 with Henning Larsen’s private funds and has since then awarded grants each year on the founder’s birthday, 20 August. The two previous competitions were held in 2007 and 2008, respectively.

Competition entries should be submitted in a closed enveloped marked ”Time & Space” to Henning Larsen Architects, Vesterbrogade 76, 1620 København V. Deadline for submission is 12 March 2012. The winners will be announced on 20 August 2012 – with a first prize of €10.000, a second prize of €5.000 and two third prizes of each €2.000.

The judging committee consists of Professor, architect Henning Larsen; CEO, architect Kent Martinussen; Chief Editor, architect Martin Keiding; architecture writer, historian of ideas Christian Bundegaard and architect Troels Troelsen.
