Entering an Architecture Competition | Process & Lessons Learned

In this video I explain my process for entering a recent architecture competition.

I cover how to interpret the brief, create a narrative, the design, the difficulties of entering a competition while managing other commitments, the merits of the winning entry and lessons learned moving forward.

Sadly, I didn't win, but when you see the winning entries I don't think I was far off!
