- Title
DE JURADOS Y ARQUITECTOS: IDEAS SOBRE LOS CONCURSOS.
- Authors
Rojo Carrero, Jesús
- Abstract
Competitions of architectural ideas that are judged by professionally qualified juries bring prestige to the institutions that promote them and to the award-winning architects. However, controversial aspects are also involved that highlight the weaknesses of these competitions and which are rarely analysed critically. None the less, architects prefer this award system because of the concomitant benefit of practicing in architectural projects, with a margin of freedom that is unfeasible in direct commissions or other more codified competitions. The analysis of the parameters which determine a good competition involves: the competition-research relationship; the scope of intervention of the jurors; the involvement of so much creative activity; the unpaid work of the competitors, etc. In this article we put forward a reflection on some of these issues from the opinions of important architects linked in one way or another to these competitive procedures.
