Almost all texts on architectural competition engross it for particular intentions, whether it be for celebration of the procedure, or dismissal. From this view point Architecture Competition is a revelational study on what really happens when competitions take place. But the story is not just about architecture and design; it is about the whole construction process, from the definition of the spatial program, to judgment and selection of projects and the realization of the building.
