International Student Design Competition
“Kitakyushu Sustainable Coastal City 2050”
■ Call for Entry ■
Entry submission date: September 3, 2010

The International Symposium on Architectural Interchanges in Asia (ISAIA) is a biennial symposium jointly sponsored by the Architectural Institute of Japan, the Architectural Society of China, and the Architectural Institute of Korea. The 8th ISAIA symposium will be held in November, 2010 in the city of Kitakyushu, Fukuoka Prefecture (Japan), and this international student design competition forms one part of the education program of this year's symposium.

As venue for ISAIA 2010, the city of Kitakyushu faces the Sea of Hibiki on the west side and the Sea of Suo on the east side, while the narrow Dōkai Bay deeply penetrates the city from the northeast; the city has developed in direct relation to these oceanic features. In the modern period the city took advantage of its maritime attributes, laying the foundation for a flourishing industrial metropolis centered on steel and other heavy industries. With transition to the current era of stable economic growth, stagnation of heavy industries, together with the phenomena of declining birthrate and an increasingly aging population, Kitakyushu is now seeking for a new urban image under the heading of mottos such as “world capital of sustainable development” and “interchange and cooperation with other cities in Asia”. Nowadays as a city open to the sea, the maritime city of Kitakyushu is mainly focusing on environmental and sustainable developments as Kitakyushu’s aim is to become a strategic hub metropolis in economics, culture, and overall quality of life.

With the year 2050 as its design target, this student competition is looking for suggestions of new urban concepts and space, allowing the participants to conceptualize freely the development of areas centering on Kitakyushu’s waterfront district.

Proposals could be made in relation to port-adjacent industrial zones and unused land, maritime sustainable urban developments, regeneration of industrial heritage, transformation of sea-adjacent areas into residential zones, as well as new images for urban infrastructure in 2050.

Architectural Institute of Japan (Host)
