A New Kind of Architecture Competition: Fairy Tales

Blank Space is a new online platform for architecture founded in New York City who is launching the world’s first architecture storytelling competition, Fairy Tales. Blank Space feels like architecture competitions haven’t changed much over the years and it’s time to stir the pot with something new. Fairy Tales asks participants to develop visionary proposals that “take fun seriously and are audacious enough to ignite imaginations.” Combining fairy tales with graphics, they hope to “unlock the power of architecture by improving the way that it is shared, digested, and communicated.”

The notable jury includes Willl Alspop Director at All Design; Paula Scher, Partner at Pentagram; Mitchell Joachim, Co-President of Terreform ONE; Jack Zipes, Professor Emeritus of U. Minnesota; Nigel Coates, Founder of Nigel Coates Studio; Francesco Lipari, Director of CityVision
