Among them, Suzhou Fenhu Galactic Elevator Super Factory covers an area of over 112 acre, with a total investment of over 5 billion RMB (772million USD), and is a key project in Jiangsu Province. To match Fenhu Galactic with world-class urban furniture that reflects humanistic care and artistic design standards, MattDESIGN, a subsidiary of CRRC Urban Traffic, is calling for designs from talanted urban furniture designers around the world. The final reviewer is Mr. Daniel Statham, a famous architect and director of the Royal Institute of British Architects, and the main designer of Fenhu Galactic Industrial Park.
The competition will open from 0:00 on September 8, 2021 to 24:00 on October 8, and the collection of design works will end by 24:00 on November 28 (Beijing time). Excellent urban furniture design teams, designers and enthusiasts from both domestic and overseas are welcomed to participate actively.
The contest will focus on the actual and potential needs of the public for urban furniture in terms of art, function and digitization in the industrial park for the employees and visitors of the resident enterprises and service enterprises, as well as taking into account the people in public areas (such as squares and commercial service areas), including but not limited to the following items:
- Clothing related (such as automatic working clothes collection and washing equipment, etc.)
- Food related(e.g. mobile commercial vehicles, unmanned food vending kiosks, etc.)
- Housing related (e.g. furniture rental platform machines, etc.)
- Travelling related (e.g. commuter electric vehicles, automatic luggage storage for visitors, etc.)
- Health and safety related (such as drinking fountain stand, mobile toilets, medical stations, simple exercise equipment, counseling stations etc.)
- Leisure and entertainment related (such as leisure seats, reading kiosks, travel group machines, etc.)
- Public services related (e.g. rubish bins, mobile flower boxes, sun shelters, bulletin boards, commuter shelters and stop signs, bike storage racks, street lights, etc.)
- Public artwork related (e.g. industrial or elevator theme related, etc.)
Participants should choose at least four of the 8 categories mentioned above, with at least one product in each category（Public services related please combine at least 2 functions together) for conceptual design. Detailed product design is not required. The design style should be unified. The program should focus on “use function, style, scale and size, material use, color positioning, setting rules” and other urban furniture design elements, taking into account the functional and practical, environmental and landscape coordination, artistic innovation and intelligent technology application requirements, focusing on humanized and artistic design; the design will fully interpret the concept of green, ecological, intelligent and sharing of Galactic Industrial, and create an artistic and dynamic park space environment.
With the preliminary selection by mattDESIGN and final review by Daniel, the winning works will be evaluated by combining the requirements of urban furniture function, art, innovation, intelligence, ecology and economy. There will be one first prize with a prize of 18,000 RMB (2,700USD) , two second prizes with a prize of 4,000 RMB (600USD), and three third prizes with a prize of 1,000 RMB (150USD).
