Architectural Competitions as a Knowledge System

On-going, upcoming and completed design or design and build competitions implemented by public and private contracting authorities – at a glance

The applied research project at hand consists of building a web-accessible database to systematically gather and provide knowledge and information on design or design and build competitions in Switzerland. Its objective is to improve the quality and enhance the efficiency of design competitions and to provide data for applied as well as basic research related to the building industry.

Partnership
The project is carried out in collaboration with the foundation external page Stiftung Forschung Planungswettbewerbe and twelve other project partners (see below). It has received funding from the Commission for Technology and Innovation (CTI). The web-accessible database external page (www.konkurado.ch) has been put into operation in 2013.
