| | A1: No. It is an international competition. Any school of architecture will do and is not limited to those in Canada. |

|
| | A2: Unfortunately, I have not had luck obtaining a 3D model of the surroundings. I will continue to search and post relevant information / files if anything comes up. |
|
| Kate Bowman |
|
| | A3: No. Participants can register up to the submittal deadline of October 9, 2009. |
|
| Kate Bowman |
|
| | A4: It is for all three - current students, recent graduates and those who have, at any point, received a degree from an accredited school of architecture. |
|

|
| | A5: The scales of the drawing files are 4x smaller than reality. They will have to be scaled up in CAD to suit. |
|
| Kate Bowman |
|
| | A6: The image file that was attached to the .dwg file (with building footprints) was not included (it is an aerial of the same area). The information on the image file and the .dwg file showed conflicting data because they are representing different years.
The building footprint file is more recent and therefore, the most correct version of the two.

|
| | A7: There is not a specific registration form. Entrants only need to forward (for each team member) their full name, email address, phone number, school they are enrolled in (or graduated from), program they are enrolled in (or graduate from).
As long as you, or one of your team members, have graduated from an accredited school of architecture, you are welcome to enter.

| | A8: I am in the process of retrieving this information and will post it as soon as I can get it. |
|
| Kate Bowman |
|
| | A2.2: I have since uploaded 2D .dwg files. |
|
| Kate Bowman |
|
| | A9: I believe the drawing should be scaled UP by 4. Make sure the street widths are logical to ensure you're to scale.
|
|
| Kate Bowman |
|
| | A10: The feasibility study is summarized in the competition brief. I didn't want to include it in the package because of its length - but have obviously left it online for the curious.
Take from it what you like - but it's not a requirement. |

|
| | I've been getting a few inquiries regarding the scale of the CAD files.
I believe that in model space, they are to scale; in paper space however, they are at a scale of 1:40000.
You should also note that the units are in METRES. I measured the road width of 'Durham Street' in the file and it came to be +/- 20 metres. This is a realistic measurement.
I hope this helps... |

| | A11: Whichever you'd prefer. |
|

|
| | All submission material should be here BY THE END OF THE DAY OF October 10th.
They can therefore, be delivered on that date. |

| | Including them as digital versions only is fine.
