The 2017 competition theme, ''Support,'' defines the term as 'an artifice that props architecture up while in turn facilitating new ideas, new forms, and new opportunities for action'. The competition asked entrants to define support's effect on architecture as tangible (how buildings stand up), financial (how buildings are funded), and theoretical (how buildings contribute to architectural discourse). The six competition winners avoided literal definitions in favor of metaphorical, historical, and methodological interpretations that have the potential to generate form.

Summary:
Learning to construct is the objective of the architecture student, who seeks to bring sketches, sophisticated visualizations, material and component choices, and detailed plans and diagrams together in a single grand composition. ''Plans and Images'' offers insight into how architects are trained by examining the teaching and research approach of the Laboratory of Elementary Architecture and Studies of Types EAST (Laboratory EAST), a satellite studio of the EPFL School of Architecture in Lausanne. Going beyond the traditional notion of functionally determined typologies, Laboratory EAST is concerned more broadly with the principles of typology in architecture.

Buildings are subject to fundamental and immutable laws that impose shapes, patterns, orders, and constraints. "The Bones of Architecture" investigates the cultivation of structures for architecture. Several European architects and engineers present their works and approaches while reflecting on rules, strategies, and methods in structural design. Various design strategies are explored through selected projects by 6A Architects, Rui Furtado, Bruther Architects, Johansen Skovsted Arkitekter, Alejandro Bernabeu, Brandlhuber+, and Ingegneri Pedrazzini Guidotti.

(available in store)
Summary:
Rassemblant plusieurs générations de concepteurs aux origines disciplinaires et géographiques très diverses, l’AUA a développé son activité pendant 25 ans dans une France saisie par la modernisation et en proie à une activité politique intense – de la guerre d’Algérie finissante au premier mandat de François Mitterrand. En quelque sorte banni des grands centres urbains, il a opéré dans les territoires de banlieue et dans les premières villes nouvelles, dans un jeu permanent entre les initiatives des collectivités locales et les programme de l’État. L’engagement, défini par une participation active à l’histoire, marque l’ensemble des actions de l’AUA, qui n’a jamais dissocié la réponse aux attentes des élus et des militants de ses objectifs architecturaux. Cette démarche traverse tous les domaines dans lesquels l’Atelier a déployé son action ; l’habitation et les équipements publics ; l’urbanisme des tissus de banlieue et un souci pionnier du paysage ; la confrontation avec les techniques d’industrialisation et les modèles innovants. L’AUA a par ailleurs été parmi les pionniers d’un nouvel exercice professionnel fondé sur la coopération, le dialogue et le partage, qui a fait figure d’exemple et dont l’esprit pionnier et fécond est lisible dans les projets conduits par une nouvelle génération d’architectes issus de l’enseignement d’après 1968. La diversité des écritures architecturales (Jacques Kalisz, Henri Ciriani, Paul Chemetov, etc.) s’accompagne d’une adhésion partagée à un ensemble de principes, comme la fidélité aux idées du mouvement moderne, une réflexion persistante sur le travail d’équipe avec le souci de la pluridisciplinarité et l’attachement à la dimension sociale de l’architecture.
