This competition, for architects under 40, tries to find solutions for problem areas in contemporary cities. These areas are often found in the outskirts of big cities and have to deal with big changes of scale or transportation questions. The 'young ones' do not think that the old way of approach will bring the best solution. They do not want to adapt to the old system because society is just no longer the same. They are trying to get acknowledged that architecture has become a very complex profession, because it is about handling architectural situations for society in a society that has become very complex.
Social structures are the point of depart, and from there different projects develop.
So they are gathering in different groups to gain strength, start discussions and develop different initiatives to conquer their place in the architecture battle scene. Somehow I have landed in a position where I experience the two different types very closely. I work in two offices run by two very different architects. I spend one half of the day in one small office and the other half in another small office. The two architects are both very nice persons.
