Each semester's Archifest, several competitions would be held between the participating studios. One of the objectives is to enhance the teamwork spirit between studio members, which shall be cultivated throughout the process of generating ideas for the competition.
Apart from that, the competitions are held to uncover the hidden talents in other branches of architecture, such as fine arts and photography. The students would also be able to practice their design skills by applying the architectural vocabularies into design of the artworks.
Glass Artwork
The competition is aimed to encourage the students the creative use and manipulation of materials as a means of self-expression. It also introduces a new media, glass that is rarely used for the purpose of creating a unique 3d glass artwork.
Each participant will receive a glass item and is required to design the artwork onto the transparent glass surface with a 3d/emboss injection to the artwork. Any types of materials or paints can be used for its finishes.
The most creative artwork will be judged based on the continuity of concepts on both glass and its reflected surfaces.
Each studio will be given a compulsory main material by the organizer. The submitted installation are encouraged to be made of recyclable materials and further enhanced by using different types of colors and textures.
The judging will be based on the creavity of the students by exploiting a modular base and the ability to transform the materials given in order to create overall versatility and hierarchy.
Mega Mood Box
Mega Mood Box is an unlimited expression of art in order break through the experiences of feelings and ideas. It is an abstract creation of art, which creates freedom for participants to reveal the 'unexplained emotions'.
Participants are to create a massive structure that can also be interpreted as large installation that can be iconic to the faculty. As a continuation from the installation and sculpture competition, the main idea of the mega mood box is a total freedom of expression with no limitations on the size, shape, materials, colors etc.
This competition would require students to create installation based on the mood given to express it in their own way. They are given freedom in terms of material usage, however they will have to create the installation in the limited spaces allocated to every studio inside Gallery.
Each installation is to be incorporated with lighting to enhance the student's artwork. Since it is a studio competition, cooperation between studio members are required. The assigned mood for each studios are as follows:
BSc 01- Ecstatic
BSc 02- Embarrassment
BSc 03- Empathic
BSc 04- Envious
BSc 05- Euphoria
BSc 06- Enraged
BSc 08- Enthralled
B.Arch- Exanimate
Based on human physical structure, the competition involves the adaptation of the latest technology of photo editing or manipulation to create exaggeration in expressing emotion when normal portrait could not express.
Each studio is to send two participants and each participation is to submit 3 photos in 8R format. The photos must contain the same subject, and must be able to express the mood or theme the photographer wants to express.
The originality and the density of manipulation, before and after the process of editing is done, is the main criteria of the judgment for this competition.
