Council of Architecture Architectural Competition Guidelines

COUNCIL OF ARCHITECTURE
ARCHITECTURAL COMPETITION GUIDELINES
PREFACE
Architectural Competitions have a long history, and have produced many extremely successful
buildings. They attract great public interest, and have led to the discovery of new talent and new
ideas, that could only be found by throwing an architectural project wide open to competition.
The Council of Architecture Competition Guidelines provide a new uptodate code that
safeguards the interests of promoters and of architects, and bring the system into line with
present-day conditions.
To many clients – the choice of an architect presents no difficulty, but to many others the choice
is not easy. The client's desire to see the sketch designs of several architects before he
commissions him is understandable, but to ask an architect to submit a sketch design is to ask
him to do the essential creative work for which he should be properly paid. If more than one or
two architects are commissioned payment to each would be expensive. Architects, however,
are allowed to compete against each other without charging a fee in an open architectural
competition held under Council of Architecture Guidelines.
The architectural competition is a balance of advantages. Architects who would not have been
considered in the normal way for an important commission, perhaps for a building of national
importance have an opportunity to prove their talent and ability.
Many architects regard competitions as a valuable opportunity for research, perhaps for the
study of a new building type, or for exploring the possibilities of new technical ideas and for
gaining new experience. On the other hand, the profession's willingness to allow its members to
compete without fee is a remarkable concession to the promoter without parallel in any other
profession.
For the promoter also, there is balance of advantages. A competition will cost him a little more
than if he had commissioned an architect privately and it will take a little more time. But this
must be balanced against the chance to draw upon the talents of all those who respond to the
architectural challenge, and the possibility than an outstanding design will emerge. He is
making a public demonstration that he cares about architecture, and can take legitimate pride in
his determination to find the best architect and the best design he can get. He will be rewarded
with a greater public interest than is generally shown in new buildings.
Competition Guidelines as laid by the Council of Architecture protects and safeguards the
interest of both the promoter and the competitors. While ensuring the promoter a design of high
standard, it also ensures that each competitor competes on like conditions and within the same
limitations.
The purpose of these Guidelines is to explain the architectural competitions system, and to help
the client who is thinking of promoting a competition to make up his mind whether a competition
is the right answer to his architectural problem, and, if so, which kind of competition would be
suitable. It also tells, a would be promoter how competitions are organised, and what are the
responsibilities of promoter.
80
ARCHITECTURAL COMPETITION – ITS PURPOSE
Architectural Competitions give the promoters a choice from the best viable project of high standard with a variety of approaches.
Competition brings out a wide range of ideas and concepts and gives the promoter the choice of selecting that which fits into his
specific requirements.
One of the principal aims of the competition is to explore hidden talents among younger Architects. To many competitors, it often
is the first step to a successful career.
Competition Guidelines as laid down by the Council of Architecture protect and safeguard the interests both of the promoter and
the competitor.
While ensuring the promoter a design of high standard and adjudged as such by prominent Architects acting as Assessors, it also
ensures that each competitor competes on like conditions and within the same limitations.
Both the promoter and the competitor are assured by these guidelines that the entries will be judged only by those who are
qualified to interpret the competitors' presentations and to judge if the design selected meets with the promoter's requirements.
The guidelines therefore lay considerable emphasis on the mandatory requirement of Assessors and the qualifications.
The appointment of the Assessors should therefore be the immediate and first step the moment the promoter decides to go in for
a competition. The President of the Council of Architecture, if so requested by the promoter, may suggest a panel of names
experienced in this type of project proposed, for appointment as Assessors. Their responsibilities commence with the approval of
the brief of the competition project. The Assessor may even help to prepare the brief.
For practical reasons, this responsibility is often taken by the Senior Assessor who would then be available to advise the promoter
on all matters connected with the competition from the promoter's decision to hold the competition till the final award.
Briefly the Assessors (or the Senior Assessor) will:

1. Assist in the preparation and approval of the brief.
2. Study and understand the requirements of the Local Authorities.
3. Visit and examine the project site, if necessary.
4. Advise on the appointment of the Technical Advisers, if necessary.
5. Finalise the competition conditions.
6. Prepare the final report/award.
The project brief is the most important document. The success of the competition will depend upon the clarity and the
completeness of the brief. This can be achieved by a very close cooperation between the Promoters and the Assessors (or the
Senior Assessor) in the preparation and finalisation of the brief.
Further the participation of the Assessors in the preparation of the brief will enable them to understand fully the intent of the
promoter. Also as qualified Architects they would be capable of visualizing the development with reference to the promoter’s
requirements, site conditions etc. and in interpreting the competition entries in these terms.
For complicated projects such as Hospitals, Airports etc. which are under constant development or projects encompassing highly
technical elements, a Technical Adviser would be considered necessary in the initial stage to help the Promoter and the
Assessors to draw up the brief and subsequently to advise the Assessors on the technical aspect of the competition entries.
Once the promoter's requirements, the site conditions, the requirements of the local authorities etc. have been formulated into the
competition brief, the Assessors (or the Senior Assessor) can advise the promoter on the type of competition that should be
promoted.
Schedule 1 of the Competition Guidelines describes in detail the types of competitions, which could be adopted and successfully
conducted.
The conditions for Architectural competition given in Schedule 3 specifies the procedure to be followed by the promoter for
conducting competitions and these conditions have been drawn up to ensure that each competitor competes on similar
conditions, that the selection is based entirely on merit, that in appreciation of the effort that would be put in by each competitor
suitable and adequate prize monies and honoraria are assured, that anonymity of the competitor is maintained during the
competition and that each competitor enjoys Copyright and Right of Ownership.
Response from well established Architects as well as large number of young Architects to an open competition can best be
assured by wide publicity. This is all the more essential for projects which are of public interest.
Publicity could begin with the invitation of Architects to participate through widely read media. This could be followed by press
conferences and finally by the publication of the Assessor’s report and public exhibition of all the entries.

suitable scale and sufficient to explain the scheme as set out in the competition conditions.
The designs so submitted shall be assessed by the Assessors for the award of the prizes and the appointment of the architect.
Such competitions are recommended for small and simple project.
(II) TWO STAGE COMPETITIONS
In two stage competition, the first stage is for soliciting ideas and therefore the competition entries at this stage would be
limited to planning on broad basis and drawings to a suitable scale sufficient to indicate the intentions of the competitor.
Designs submitted in the first stage shall be assessed by the Assessors for selecting a small number of competitors (between 5
and 10). The author of these selected designs will be invited to take part in the second stage of the competition, and each
architect so invited would be paid a specified sum.
In order to maintain anonymity, each competitor will be informed individually whether he has been or has not been invited to
participate in the second stage. Correspondence in this respect will be the responsibility of the Promoter or Professional
Adviser, if appointed. It will also be his responsibility to ensure that the names of those invited and those rejected are not
revealed either to the assessor or to any person.
To ensure this anonymity the envelopes containing the names of the competitors shall be opened by the Promoter or
Professional Adviser if appointed. After the intimation has been sent to each competitor they shall be resealed untiI the final
award.
After the end of the first stage, the Board of Assessors, may, if found necessary and with the approval of the Promoter, clarify
or amplify points in the competition conditions for the benefit of the second stage competitors. Such clarification or amplification
shall not in any way disclose directly or indirectly or even inadvertently any of the designs submitted in the first stage to those
invited for the second stage.
The period between the Assessors award for the first stage and submission of designs for the second stage shall not exceed
six months. Only under exceptional circumstances period may be extended.
The second stage of the competition may be limited to only a part of the subject dealt with in the first stage.

The designs submitted for both the first stage and the second stage shall be exhibited and/or published only
after the final award of the second stage competition.

stage has been declared, it will be disqualified.
