An alternative to the barbed wire fence in the prison, which the organizers of the [AC-CA] competition are proposing to design, should be the endless waters of the Pacific Ocean.

This is precisely the task set before the participants in the international conceptual competition invented by the British.
The purpose of the competition is to study the problem of keeping prisoners in modern society and, possibly, to completely revise it, as well as to identify new directions in the design of such facilities - functional, economical and safe, and the role of architecture in the formation of places of detention.

The competition for the design of an international airport in Tianjin is intended to demonstrate the growing role of cities in China, which can become the main transport hubs in Asia.

The fourth largest city in Louisiana is Lafayette, one of the main economic and cultural centers of the region, according to the organizers
competition "Imagine Downtown" has serious gaps in terms of urban planning. The lack of a sufficient number of affordable and comfortable housing, coupled with a lack of parking spaces, low quality pedestrian and public areas near the central city facility - the Louisiana Institute, significantly underestimate the status of the city as a whole.
Participants of the competition need to think about a project for the improvement of problem areas. Six urban districts were proposed as sites for design, each district is a separate nomination. Thus, according to the results of the competition, six winners will be selected. They will receive cash prizes, and the city will receive a base of ideas and developments for further development.
