Art Prison _ New YAC's competition
YAC's projects have been supported by several professional and academic partners like Patrik Schumacher (co-director of Zaha Hadid Architects), Peter Cook (Crab Studio), Yama Karim (Libeskind studio), Mario Cucinella,Shigeru Ban Architects, Foster+Partners, Snohetta, Casabella Magazine, the Universities of Melbourne, Santa Fé, Venice, Bologna and Rome.
We are currently promoting Art Prison, an interesting project in cooperation with the Italian Government focusing on a dreamy fortress overlooking the Island of Favignana in Sicily. The aim of the competitors will be transforming this former prison into an open-air contemporary art museum.
There will be a total amount of 20,000€ in prize money for the awarded proposals and the jury of the competition gathers outstanding international personalities Daniel Libeskind, João Luís Carrilho da Graça, Manuel Aires Mateus, Felix Perasso (Snøhetta).
This architectural competition is going to be a great opportunity to develop creative ideas for such a design topic and we would be glad if you may share this with your students.
