HOME Deadline

8 Mar 2004

This is an open call to all AAI members for what you think a HOME is or should be. Members of the public have been asked to submit their ideas as well.

HOME will be a joint exhibition to begin in late March to compare what members of the public and what architects think a HOME should be. The idea is to encourage the public to be more involved in the debate on architecture. Together with the exhibition there will be an open discussion to initiate the debate amongst a greater audience. The HOME is central to everyday life and the aim is to provide examples of what is possible to do with a HOME. Projects can be real or theoretical, extensions or new builds, apartments, basically anything to do with a HOME.

In conjunction with the annual lecture series speakers will be asked to submit a HOME of their choosing which will be exhibited at that time. The theme of HOME will run throughout the AAI programme up until June 2005.

Entries are to submit what they think a HOME is or should be by Monday 8th of March 2004 no later than 12.00pm to "HOME", AAI, 8 Merrion Square, Dublin 2. A curator will select works from all submissions which will be displayed together in one space.

The material is not limited to a specific format (e.g., a drawing, photograph, model, an object, etc�). All paper submissions are limited to a maximum size of A2 (420mm x 594mm).

Text would be useful to explain the submission. This should be included on the paper submission or as a separate sheet if not submitting material on paper, no more than 1 side of an A4 (210mm x 297mm) page.

Please note that all material submitted will not be returned.

Submissions may be anonymous.

AAI reserves the right to the editorial use of all materials supplied by submitters.
