Young Designers Open Call , Prag / Tschechische Republik

 

reSITE.org, z.s., Voršilská 10, Praha 1 - Nové Město

 

The Young Designers Open Call (YDOC) is an opportunity for emerging architects and designers to manifest their talent in front of a renowned jury, get their idea built and put in use in a popular Prague location, within only a few weeks.

 

YDOC challenges the participants to design and present innovative projects that redefine the use of public space. The winner will create a temporary outdoor installation, active from May to September, that enhances Manifesto Market’s functionality and visitor experience during the bustling summer months. The installation must provide shade, enable smooth circulation for potentially thousands of visitors each day (80,000 in a single month), and seamlessly integrate with the high-quality architectural concept of Chybik+Kristof and the vibrant atmosphere of the market while maintaining its regular operations. YDOC participants will be tasked with building on Chybik+Kristof design, creating a forward-thinking concept that pays homage to Manifesto’s roots while reimagining its future potential as a temporal art, architecture and/or design installation.
