New RIBA Ideas Competition
London Bridge 800: Design an Inhabited Bridge
The RIBA is pleased to announce the launch of an ideas competition
which is being organised to mark the 800th anniversary of the opening
of the first London Bridge in 1209AD.
Old London Bridge was an inhabited bridge and the competition asks
today's designers to imagine a new version of the inhabited bridge,
based on the present structure (which for the purpose of the competition
is to be deemed strong enough to carry buildings on its deck). The
competition is being organised on behalf of The Worshipful Company
of Chartered Architects - A Livery Company of the City of London.
The result of the competition will be announced at the 800th Anniversary
Fair of London Bridge on Saturday 11 July by The Rt Hon The Lord Mayor
of London. Winning and selected entries from the competition will
also be publicised as part of the anniversary celebrations.
"The Lord Mayor is delighted that the Worshipful Company of Chartered
Architects is to run an architectural competition in conjunction with
and to support the London Bridge Anniversary Fair and my appeal. They
have our full support in this exciting project which we hope will
produce some stunning and unique entries". - extract from Lord
Mayor's Appeal.
The competition is open to architects and students of architecture,
and the brief will be available to download from www.architecture.com/competitions
from Thursday 28th May. The deadline for submissions is 25th June.
