info and Rules
FACADE DESIGN CHALLENGE
Greetings, challengers! The task at hand is for you to develop a skyscraper facade in an urban setting. We have prepared facade elements, a couple of old New York style buildings and a whole building for you to use as a main focal point. There is also a massing model with boxes to help you along the way.
BUT… don’t feel pressured to use our assets and develop the image based only on them. Use your imagination and feel free to develop something of your own. You can make your image could be the entire building seen from the street, or perhaps a detail of just the facade, where you can also see the interior. It is up to you to explore. Just make sure you keep it within an urban environment. Best of luck!
Do not forget to join our D2 Community Facebook Group to share your challenge related work with the rest of community prior to the live judging.
If you have any problems or questions, please email us.
The winner will be chosen by the jury during a live stream deliberation on December 9, 2022 during the D2 Holiday Special.
