Under the Canopy 2 – Call for Applications

APPLICATIONS ARE CLOSED

CALLING ALL DESIGNERS, ARTISTS AND ARCHITECTS!

Apply to Creative Generation for the chance to design the next CANOPY at F3 (Friends Futures Factory)

Creative Generation partners again with Friends-International for the second ‘Under the Canopy’ project at F3 (Friends Futures Factory). We are seeking a young creative to propose a new design for a temporary canopy in the courtyard of F3 with its historically-rich buildings and socially-driven community space.

With mentorship from Charles Gallavardin and Dominique Desmet from Kanopea Architecture Studio (France) and T3 Architects (Vietnam + Cambodia), they will design and build a temporary structure from environmentally sustainable materials. The design concept must use materials that are:

Sourced from natural, organic materials OR recovered from waste and repurposed
AND
Can be either safely disposed of OR reused after the project

The design objective is to create a canopy providing shade for visitors and events at F3. A temporary structure that works on the existing site without significant modification.

The winning design will receive a cash prize of $500. With support from the mentors and organizers, and a budget for materials, the designer will have the opportunity to construct their canopy at the end of the year.
