CANactions Idea Competition
About
The Competition idea was born in circumstances of nowadays, rising civil responsibility and inspiration.
CANactions 2014 Workshop in Kiev
Maidan Nezalezhnosti, Independence Square, the central square of Kyiv, capital of Ukraine, among other things, has brought Ukrainians to the understanding that every city is being built by its citizens. We are the masters of our own destiny. Today’s events in Ukraine make us ponder on our history, public attitude, values, freedom, responsibility for our decisions, our lives and our surrounding.
With this competition, we venture to convert maximum energy generated by revolutionary wave to Urban Ideas.
Suggest architectural solutions for a happy city and identify appropriate means of expression.
Suggest new functions of public space
The registration is open for specialist who interested in city and urban.

Subject
Clear city ideas for Kyiv
Problem
Our society is unsound:
Crucial human values were substituted with consumer instincts having their roots in fear. Fear underlies cynicism which turned into a norm of social relations.
Under such conditions there is no demand for humane social concepts, including the city ones. Documents regulating city development are originally lacking ideas. Their absence is concealed with pseudo-scientific highbrow texts, definitions and sophisticated diagrams declaring about enigmatic exclusivity of ‘professionals’, and many things have the status of being secret. Unlike a general plan of London which is accessible and understandable to any housewife.
Idea
For the last decades, density of the world population has grown considerably, thus making it more integrated. It is much easier now to borrow the best ideas and to develop at the same time our own decent and unique things.
Goals
– to generate simple ideas of the City
– to distribute such ideas
– to get a little closer to healthier society with such ideas
Format
12 ukrainian and 6 foreign architects will be working upon the project of Kiev consisting of three international teams led by tutors – well-known european architects.
General coordination of workshop activities is carried out by workshop curator – from Wonderland team, Austria (http://www.wonderland.cx)
