deadline for return of PQQs : 6th June 2012

“The existing buildings (auditoria, galleries and backstage areas) should be upgraded to world class standards. In addition, to ensure a far more fluid festival style presentation of the performing and visual arts on the site the two buildings should be made more permeable and to increase value from prime commercial space.”

“Like the Wisenhofseidlung in Stuttgart in the 1920’s, the Case Study houses in Los Angeles in the 1950’s and more recently the evolution of sustainable architecture in Vorarlberg, Austria, the terrace should set out new approaches to meet contemporary design issues in housing”
