Architecture Competition: Winter Stations 2024
Every year, Toronto, Ontario, Canada hosts the one-stage international design competition Winter Stations. The challenge for participants is to create temporary winter art works that make use of the lifeguard towers that are currently positioned thoughtfully throughout the city’s Kew and Woodbine beaches. The structures, which aren’t used in the winter, serve as the works’ visual focal points.
If financing is available, Winter Stations plans to construct the four to six winning proposals for a waterfront show that runs for six weeks, as it has in the past.
Although fewer people visit Toronto beaches during the winter, Winter Stations has piqued the interest of the community. Designers should anticipate public involvement and expect their designs to be well-visited.
Anyone in the world is welcome to enter the competition. Entry is free of charge.
Winter Stations has developed into a thriving tapestry of creativity, community, and art over the last ten years. It is evidence of the transforming potential of creativity and the enduring influence it has on our lives.
Moreover, We are excited to reveal the topic for Winter Stations 2024: Resonance, in keeping with our celebration of ten years of resonating with our hearts and brains.
Resonance encapsulates Winter Stations’ lasting influence as well as the echoes of our creative past. It asks us to consider the experiences that have stayed with us, the artwork that has moved us. And the memories that have formed a part of our shared story.
We are inviting designers to set out on an incredible journey of reinvention and reimagination this year, which is an interesting twist. We urge you to recreate, rethink, and reinterpret beloved installations from Winter Stations history in order to bring fresh life to the remnants of the past.
Look through our archive and pick an earlier installation to get ideas for your own designs.
