CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: CONCÉNTRICO’S 10TH EDITION COMPETITIONS
Concéntrico, Logroño International Festival of Architecture and Designs opens the competitions and adds for the first time The Street in 10 Years, an innovative program with Porto Academy in which five teams will be selected to design an area of the city with a ten-year strategy; and the proposal Celebrating the City, a competition that combines architecture/art/music by proposing to rethink the kiosk as an urban emblem of a celebration, organized with ArtWorks.

The Street in 10 Years. This call aims to place Logroño at the centre of the city’s future. Together with Porto Academy, the organization is developing a practical and theoretical program, supported by Garnica, as patron of the competition, which will become a laboratory for the innovation of new ideas, tools and formats. The proposal is to rethink a central urban environment of the city with a 10-year perspective: a strategic thinking for that area to be developed within a 10-year time frame. The five teams selected in the first phase – with a prize of €1500 per team, in addition to the final winner’s fees – will have to design and plan the actions they would develop to progressively transform the public spaces of Beti Jai Street / Duquesa de la Victoria Street / Glorieta Park integrating the social, physical and aesthetic spheres in their methodology.

Phase I curriculum and text: November 20, 2023 at 11:59pm (GMT+1). / Phase II development of the competition: December 1–February 1, 2023 at 11:59pm (GMT+1).

CARLOS BUNGA’S NEW INSTALLATION AT SARASOTA ART MUSEUM
For the exhibition Reassembling Split Light at Sarasota Art Museum, Carlos Bunga will create a temporary cardboard structure in the 30-foot-high Koski Gallery located on the Museum’s third floor. Beginning and ending as a dialogue with the existing architecture, this installation will transform the gallery’s spatial configuration for the duration of the exhibition. By deploying light as his primary conceptual basis, just as James Turrell has done before him, Bunga explains that he will sculpt light, which cannot be touched, but only felt viscerally.
