THE COMPETITION:
The Lend Lease led consortium and the Architecture Foundation have issued an international call for architects to design the Athletes Village for the London 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games.
The Architecture Foundation will oversee the appointment of the panel, which is expected to comprise around 40 practices. This group will then compete for commissions to design individual components of the new high-density residential district – a project with an estimated value of £2 billion which involves the development of approximately 4,200 residential dwellings and related accommodation.
The task is to create contemporary urban housing within an exceptionally significant project, to serve the needs of athletes and officials participating at the Games and to deliver housing for new communities after 2012. We are looking for good design, intelligent thinking and high quality execution, evidenced in previous work of the entrants. Extensive experience, or experience at a large scale, is not essential.
