´Unemployed Architect´ competition
Brief – Unemployed Architect?? surviving with a temporary job in MacDonalds or Starbucks or simply scratching yourself at home?? Never before have so many unemployed architects been infiltrating other industries to finance a living. Never before has there been the opportunity for so many architectural eyes to evaluate the efficiency of the design of the industry.
If you find that you are flippin´ burgers then stop to re-assess the design…why not place cows in the car park or chickens on the roof of a KFC??
Perhaps the next time on your trip to the benefits office you have a look at the city transport system where you live and improve its efficiency or even re-evaluate where your toilet faeces end up after you drop a bomb at home
The competition is to re-design or create a new design of a system which can be integrated within a building or city. There are no limits on ideas, however, the process must be thought through from start to finish with an element of practicality

Competition examples include:-
´Atelier Bow Wow´ roof bridge in Linz – where a walkway network has been integrated into a disused roof space
´Schweeb´ human powered monorails in Ngongotha – is both efficient and revolutionary, redefining the way humans travel
Underground Waste System – is not a new concept, however its simplicity has literally cleaned up waste management within city centre areas
Electric Vehicle charging in MacDonalds – not only are they trying to clean up their image, it seams MacDonalds are trying to clean up the motorways
Entrants must effectively integrate a new system or improve an existing one into a current building, city or landscape
The design may be revolutionary, may be simple, however it must be more than aesthetical with an element of efficiency, practicality and compatibility
