Young Architects Competitions - YAC

Dear Professor, good afternoon. I am Alba Russo, key account for YAC (Young Architects Competitions) The University of Bologna, in cooperation with several partners, has being supporting a project aiming to organize architectural competitions for students and young designers. The aim is to involve the academic world to interesting and up-to-date topics of planning.

The project is coordinated by YAC –Young Architects Competitions- a group that, since 2013, has been organising 10 important architectural contests which involved many prestigious and international institutions, like Casabella, Crab Studio, Zaha Hadid Architects, Snohetta, Cucinella Architects, Bjarke New York and many others. From August 29th to November 2nd, in cooperation with Automobili Lamborghini, YAC will promote "Lamborghini Road Monument", a contest for the planning and construction of 2 architectural installations that will celebrate the famous car manufacturer and will be placed at the entrances of the historic Lamborghini's plant. The jury will include world-renowned personalities like Patrik Schumacher (Zaha Hadid Architects), Fabio Novembre (Studio Fabio Novembre), Yama Karim (Libeskind studio ), Nicola Scaranaro (Foster+Partners), Giuseppe Cappochin (AWN), Annalisa Trentin (UNIBO), Stefano Domenicali (Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A.), Francesco Dal Co (Casabella).

The best projects will be awarded with € 20,000 cash prizes and the first-prize project will be realized. The competition will be a great opportunity for students to deal with stimulating topics and value their talent. I would like to draw this project to your attention and to invite the students of your University to take part in this unique occasion of architectural debate and international sharing of ideas.
