Trophée béton Ecoles 2018
BRIEF
Association for the enhancement of aesthetic and technical quality of concrete architecture. Bétocib, created in 1973, is chaired by Paul Chemetov, and brings together construction professionals: architects, visual artists, architects, economists, material suppliers, companies and prefabricators, building owners and professional organizations sharing the same passion for concrete.
The Concrete Schools Trophy, organized by the Betocib, CIMbeton and Ecole Française du Beton associations, under the patronage of the Ministry of Culture and Communication, aims to reveal young graduates of architecture schools, to sponsor them and to give them visibility at the beginning of their professional life.
The Concrete Schools Trophy invites future professionals to question the aesthetic, technical and environmental qualities of the concrete material.
It takes precedence over the PFE (end of study project) whose architecture and constructive performances highlight the use of the concrete material. All end-of-study projects can be presented, whatever their scale or program, provided they meet the specifications.
Thanks to its multiple variations, concrete occupies a dominant place in architecture and offers great freedom to designers, both aesthetically and technically.
Although 100 years old, concrete is a young material. A favorite material of the twentieth century, he has participated extensively in the development of modern architecture. By its universal character, this continuous and multifunctional material adapts itself as well to organic architecture as to rationalism or minimalism.
The richness of its plastic and structural potentialities, which retain all their relevance in the 21st century, deserves to be explored continuously.
This is why, in order to make younger generations aware of the intrinsic qualities of the material and to encourage the development of innovative architectural thinking for its use, the Bétocib, CIMbéton and EFB foundations are at the origin of the creation of an annual concrete trophy appealing to the imagination of students of architecture schools.
This competition is also intended to help students develop their thinking and make their ideas known about architecture. He offers them a first professional platform.
The awards ceremony of the 7th edition of the Trophy will take place in January 2019 at the House of Architecture in Ile-de-France.
Enrolled students who have obtained their PFE at the 2017 and 2018 sessions.
The projects entered in the Concrete Schools Trophy are based on the student’s PFE, which can be completed to meet the specifications.
Applicants can develop certain technical aspects of their end-of-study project (EFP), before or after graduation, in order to meet the specifications. If they wish, they can combine additional skills by forming multidisciplinary teams. In addition, students enrolled in bi-cursus architect-engineer will also participate in the competition.
Candidates will be evaluated according to criteria such as their personal approach in the judicious use of concrete, the architectural quality of their project, their structural and constructive approach as well as taking into account the thermal and environmental requirements of the regulations in force.
Their reflection on the multiple possibilities of the material, the different innovations, on the skin: texture, materials, finesse, thickness, color, will also be taken into account. They will have to conform to the elements of rendering (see section rendered).
