The 5^th annu­al of archi­tectu­ral competition

The KOMA MODU­LAR CON­STRUCTI­ON com­pa­ny has announ­ced the 5^th annu­al of archi­tectu­ral com­pe­ti­ti­on for using modu­lar con­structi­on methods. The com­pa­ny lis­te­ned to the requests of young archi­tectu­res and exten­ded the possi­bi­li­ty of par­ti­ci­pati­on in the com­pe­ti­ti­on. The com­pe­ti­ti­on is ope­ned for stu­dents of Archi­tectu­ral Uni­ver­si­ty and Scho­ol of Structu­ral Engi­nee­ring, respecti­ve­ly for bachelor´s, engineer´s and doctor´s fields of stu­dy and for gra­dua­tes of these fields within three years after graduation.

The suc­cess­ful par­ti­ci­pants rece­i­ved money pri­ses and the KOMA MODU­LAR CON­STRUCTI­ON com­pa­ny pro­vi­ded them the pub­li­ci­ty and exhi­bi­ted some suc­cess­ful works at the fairs as FOR ARCH in Pra­gue, IBF in Brno, CONE­CO in Bra­ti­sla­va or at Days of Archi­tectu­re in Olo­mouc, and also some works were pub­lished in tech­ni­cal papers or archi­tectu­ral web­si­tes. The KOMA MODU­LAR CON­STRUCTI­ON pro­vi­ded to the win­ners of the last annu­al a free par­ti­ci­pati­on in a five-day workshop with renow­ned Mexi­can archi­tect Mr. Michel Roj­kin­dem within the pro­gra­m­me the Cros­sroads of Architecture.

You can see the win­ning works from pre­vi­ous years here.

In case the cus­to­mer cho­o­se some archi­tec­to­ni­cal draft from stu­dents, the KOMA MODU­LAR CON­STRUCTI­ON has bind to co-ope­rati­on with an author of the work. The list of awar­ded works is also a part of an year-book CKA. So the young archi­tects have an oppor­tu­ni­ty to make visi­ble themselves.

Modu­lar con­structi­on is gai­ning more and more sup­por­tes inland, main­ly for advan­tages that this method of con­structi­on cer­ta­in­ly has. The main advan­tages are spe­ed, pri­ce and the possi­bi­li­ty of disas­sem­bly and reas­sem­bly at the new locati­on. Pro­gres­si­ve pri­va­te inves­tors have dis­co­ve­red and appre­ci­a­ted the advan­tages of modu­lar con­structi­on ear­lier. In the last two years, the modu­lar con­structi­on is incre­a­sin­g­ly used for muni­ci­pal buil­dings as kin­der­gar­tens (the 3^rd annu­al of com­pe­ti­ti­on), star­ter and social apart­ment hou­ses (the 4^th annu­al of com­pe­ti­ti­on), also for seni­or hou­ses, sports faci­li­ties and for scho­ols, which are the the­me of the fifth annu­al of archi­tectu­ral competition.
