The organizers invite participants to think about urban transit areas and the challenges they provide. The Malmi station area in Helsinki has been selected as the context for generating ideas representing such a transit area .The entries should create something unique and experiential that addresses the problems of urban transit areas.
The competition is seeking idea level solutions, the participants are not expected to enter detailed structural drawings or solve the final realizability of the proposal. Entries should be applied to predefined areas within the Malmi station area and its immediate surroundings. Fibre cement should have a major role in the proposal, though other complementary materials and solutions can also be used.

The concept
Cembrit invites architects and designers to participate in an open international idea competition to reinvent fibre-cement as a material in urban environments. The competition brief is to address a worldwide trend and/or problem through a specific case. The organizers warmly invite idea level proposals to be submitted in the competition to be evaluated by a distinguished international jury.
The motivation
Cembrit aims to provide inspiration and solutions for people who want outstanding life settings. This means products, which enable innovative and insightful solutions in construction, both functionally and visually. Therefore Cembrit strives to take to use of fibre cement further and reinvent the material in ways that bring out the best qualities of fibre cement. Qualities that enable more unique solutions for built environments; the flexibility and possibilities allow realizations that yield a more interesting end result. In an ideal world the material should not restrain the vision of the architect - on the contrary, it should inspire and allow expression.
In "Bullhorn - Cembrit Design Competition" we want to enable vision not restrain it.
