• 4.2 Contents of the competition paper

page 5-6:

• «Synthesis planning solution for the planning scope of city district J 14, with a graphic definition of regulation lines that limit the surfaces and corridors of construction land for public use, the formation of building plots, areas for construction and the method of use of land within the detailed regulation of construction lines, definition of classes of purposes of buildings, maximum building height, maximum number of floors, traffic and Levelman solution, stationary traffic, planned greenery with disposition and greenery specification. Attachment delivered in size R=1:1000 (2000X1500mm format)» (i.e. 2A0)

-This attachment, which seems to be the analytic Masterplan Layout is a board or a rolled drawing sent in a cylinder?

-Why is indicated a scale of R:1:1000?, since in 5.3 it is written: «Graphic attachments should be made separately for each zone, or construction at a scale chosen by the participants for a clear representation of the urban/architectural concept.» Is that referred to the rest of the attachments?

 

page 6:

• «The situation of and a presentation on the territory of the planning scope in the context of the wider environment R = 1: 1000 (with a solution for internal and stationary traffic, leveling solution, landscape arrangement with horticulture)»

-This attachment, which seems to be the general Masterplan Layout is a board or a rolled up drawing sent in a cylinder?

-Why is indicated a scale of R:1:1000?, since in 5.3 it is written: «Graphic attachments should be made separately for each zone, or construction at a scale chosen by the participants for a clear representation of the urban/architectural concept.» Is that referred to the rest of the attachments?

 

page 6:

Each competition paper for planned blocks belonging in full or in part to ZONE 1 shall contain the following attachments:

• Situation plan of the Zone with a view of the fifth facade, the roofs of the buildings (with regulatory lines and leveling elements, entrance, height and number of floors) R = 1: 500, (format А1 841X594mm)

The ZONE1 in the 1:500 scale does not enter in the the A1 Format but in the 4A0 and the cutting of the Zone 1 will not allow its understanding in relation to the context. Is the scale something that the organizers or the designers should reconsider? We think that the 1:1000 scale is more appropriate

Τhe same applies to the rest of the attachments as seen below

• Situation plan of the ground floor with view of landscape arrangement R=1:500 (format А1 841X594mm)

• Characteristic foundations of newly designed buildings within a block of choice of participant R=1:500 (format A1 841X594mm)

• Characteristic cross-sections through the location and buildings R=1:500 (format А1 841X594mm),

• Characteristic appearance of the buildings and their appearance in the context of the surroundings and along the streets R=1:500 (format А1 841X594mm)

• 3D displays of choice of participants in the Competition (at least one attachment with 3D view) (format А1 841X594mm).

 

So, which are, exactly, the deliverables (attachments)?

Is it possible to list them clearly in order not to have problems_

One Text Section

Tables with Numeric Indicators per each zone

One Drawing in 2000×1500 format

One Drawing with the representation on the Territory of the planning scope in the wider environment

One A1 with 3d views

A1 attachments for each bullet described for ZONE 1, 2, 3, 4 (page 6, 4.2 Contents of the competition paper) [as many as needed, but with the reconsideration of the scale]

3 to 5 Billboards 50×70

So the ONLY billboards will be on a hard surface and the other attachments will be rolled up?
