2021 Fentress Global Challenge
Fentress建築師事務所近期宣佈，2021年Fentress全球挑戰賽（ FGC ）開放報名。這項一年一度的國際學生設計競賽已經進入了第8個年頭，競賽對國際上所有學生們提出為未來的機場設想一個前瞻性的概念的挑戰，進而為機場航站樓建築的創新設計提供靈感。
FGC創始人Curtis Fentress（ FAIA，RIBA ）說：“Fentress全球挑戰賽對於年輕設計師來說是一個很好的機會，他們可以在引領機場航站樓建築創新的同時，將廣泛的想法和創造性的觀點帶到討論桌上。我們很期待看到學生們今年如何突破建築設計的極限。”
今年的競賽鼓勵學生重新構思2100年的航站樓建築，將新航站樓選址在他們現有的機場，或是還沒有機場的地方。後一種選擇要求參賽者考慮一個具體城市，在那裡機場可以作為經濟和社會發展的催化劑。學生的設計必須考慮幾個方面，包括當地環境、不斷發展的技術、可持續性、彈性、安全、福利、流動性、城市化、全球化、項目可行性和所有乘客的體驗。
第一名獲獎者將獲得15000美元，這是FGC歷史上最高的獎金，另外四名獲獎者將獲得較小的現金獎勵。
評審團
2021年FGC將分兩個階段進行評審。行業專家的第一輪評審團將入圍十五（ 15 ）個設計方案，第二輪評審團將從評審團中選出三名決賽入圍者。2021年FGC評審團將在以後宣佈，它將以領先的航空和建築界的聲音為特色，同時彙集來自這些行業專業人士的不同觀點。

FENTRESS GLOBAL CHALLENGE 2021 INVITES STUDENTS TO ENVISION THE AIRPORT OF THE FUTURE
Fentress Architects is pleased to announce that the 2021 Fentress Global Challenge ( FGC ) is open for entries. Now in its 8th year, the annual international student design competition challenges students to envision a forward-thinking concept for an airport of the future, and in turn, stimulate innovative design in terminal architecture.
“The Fentress Global Challenge is a great opportunity for young designers to bring broad ideas and creative perspectives to the table while spearheading innovation in airport terminal architecture,” said FGC Founder Curtis Fentress, FAIA, RIBA. “We are excited to see how students push the limits of architectural design this year.”
This year’s competition brief encourages students to reimagine the terminal building in the year 2100, siting the new terminal at either an existing airport of their choosing, or at a location where an airport does not yet exist. The latter option calls for participants to consider a city where an airport could serve as a catalyst for economic and social development. Students’ designs must consider several aspects, including local context, evolving technologies, sustainability and resiliency, security, wellbeing, mobility, urbanization, globalization, project feasibility, and the overall passenger experience.
The First Place Winner will receive $15,000 USD—the largest prize in FGC’s history. Four additional winners will receive smaller cash prizes.
Eligibility
FGC is open to graduate and undergraduate students currently pursuing architecture or engineering degrees in an accredited university program, as well as recent graduates ( within the last four years ) with a degree in architecture or engineering.
