This year’s theme for the AIA TN 2018 Video Shorts Challenge and Poster Design Challenge is #InScale
InScale reflects the multiple dimensions of design, from a crafted door handle to a city masterplan. From the Vitruvian Man to Modular Man to Burning Man; architects, interior designers, and land planners must always consider how their designs respond to and drive the conditions of their users.
Besides what is seen on paper, scale is also portrayed through the lens of a city’s political, economical, and social scope. We ask this year’s EPs to submit short videos and/or poster designs that echo this year’s theme of Scale.
The AIA TN Video Shorts & Poster Design Challenge invites architects and designers to bring their perspective to life through graphic design. The competition will be framed around the 2018 AIA TN Convention in Franklin. The challenge seeks to give presence, voice, and creative expression through graphics; capture different perspectives; and highlight what design professionals and community members are doing across our state.
Successful entries will be original graphics that uniquely address the conference theme: Scale
