Laka Competition ‘16—Architecture that Reacts
Laka invites designers from around the world to submit their ideas of architecture that reacts. That means architecture which is able to respond and adjust dynamically to the current needs and circumstances. These circumstances are often unpredictable, but their consequences can be crucial. The architecture that reacts is the architecture that lives as a living organism, since it responds to the external stimuli and it develops because of it.
There are only 2 weeks of “Regular Registration”. “Late Registration” starts on 2nd of October until 1st of November
