Question 27

Is it possible to submit a request for participation in open call as an architectural office (authors) and then, in the first, respectively second round (or after competition), eventually enter into a contractual relationship with a Client in an association with an engineering office?

Yes, it is possible: to be selected in the Open Call based on your architectural experience and enter the next stage of the competition in association with an engineering office. Partially this has been answered as Question 1.

Question 20

Which competences are required for our team? Do we need a local architect, a landscaper? Would it help us to be selected?

Required are those who bring in the ideas and quality to the core of your designs. The issues of local architects, engineers, legal specialists, etc. will be dealt with later. The jury will now look for quality architecture and not for a list of professions. However, if there is on your team a landscape architect or an innovative engineer etc., who are integral part of your creative design work, it is no fault to state their names, of course.

Question 1

Should we compete as a team (architects + engineers) or should we compete as architectural office alone at first and add engineers as subcontractors later?

You should compete as architectural office – the quality and potential of architectural office, respectively quality of architectural and urban design is judged in the competition stage of the CSHQ project. Engineering will be dealt with after the competition.
