My Dream Home: Call for Student Entries
Call to all design students! This is the opportunity that you’ve been waiting for! $500 cash prize + website feature, guest blog feature & social media feature for best designs. What do you imagine as your dream home? Registration closing November 30, 2019.
The aim of the competition is to manifest your dreams into reality and to create a dream home based on it. The purpose is for you to define your dream home and give it a unique layout, form, typology, type, materiality, size, and setting. We want you to start with a concept and show us how your design relates to this concept. We want you to use ARCHLine.XP (free educational license) for your design.
You are free to produce renders in whichever software you want. Modeling, plans, sections, elevations must all be done in ARCHLine.XP and a project model must be emailed along with your panels. You are encouraged to creatively use some of the tools the software provides to create your design. ARCHLine.XP lets you export floor plans, elevations, sections, etc. into whichever format to use in your presentation panels.
The competition is open to all students (TAFE, universities, tertiary institutions, architecture students, design students, interior design students, diploma of building design, etc.).
