East A city is not built in a day; urban growth in the East occurs in 3 stages: 1. Madness: The Architecture Marathon Good design can be the result of slow and careful reflection but it can also occur when a mad idea is executed with conviction and integrity. To commence the year we ran an Architectural Marathon where 180 buildings were designed in two weeks, resulting in the group building of the city. 2. Paradise: Show Home The Show Home will provide much needed accommodation for the city, however, its responsibilities will extend beyond its walls. It must not be shy in showing off its architectural features that are manifest in its attitude to the environment. In this context the Show Home takes on the role of an architectural director, taking on responsibilities for the growth of the rest of the city. 3. Perfection: Festival of Architecture Festivals have left behind some of the most innovative structures that mankind has built. Nationally and locally, the Festival acts as a catalyst transferring its spirit far beyond the boundaries of its site, inspiring regeneration in the surrounding city and the entire nation. The festival of architecture will see real things built where the rules are suspended.
