Unlike the “mediated” briefs that result when a team of organizers or jury members jointly decide on one theme, the Shinkenchiku Residential Design Competition allows the single judge to choose a competition theme, thereby consciously and even provocatively generating international architectural debate. The 48 competition briefs collected here invite you to find links with the overall trends and tendencies in the global housing debate, to dive into a single competition theme and situate that in a particular context, and to find links between the different competition editions across time.
