The Un-Competition Project.  Invent a project, design it, and post your design on our Facebook page, with a 60 second video. We want to hear how you came up with your project, what your design is, and how you are going to get it built.  So, no, there is no competition brief, and no, we’re not going to get your project built.  You make the project up yourself, big or small- you sell it, and you figure out how to get it built. Then document it in a video, and we’ll show it to the world.

Then, after all of the results are in, Black Spectacles has teamed up with the Chicago Architectural Club who will host an event that expands the dialogue about design entrepreneurship that the Un-Competition Project initiates.  The winners will be presented, and the event will explore alternate methods of getting work, getting it built, and establishing yourself in the profession.  If you don’t happen to be in Chicago at the time of the event, you can watch live as we stream the event on our website.
