Norwich University is proud to announce the 2021 High School Architecture Design Competition: Pocket Place
Architecture is about solving problems for people through the composition of light, space, and material. It is about embracing the way space can be sculpted to improve how we live.
Many standards of normalcy have changed considerably over the last two years, especially with regard to how we gather for learning, dining, and performing. While outdoor gathering spaces are not a wholly new idea, they have become essential in our current situation. With this design competition we are seeking your solutions for making dynamic, thoughtful, and functional outdoor spaces for gathering. We ask you to carve out public space in your town or city to accommodate public activity in fresh air. This space could be a parklet for restaurant outdoor dining, an outdoor internet lounge, or an outdoor Tik Tok performance space.
