The 2015 IASS Symposium organizers invite universities and/or companies to participate in a contest and exhibition of structurally innovative pavilions. The pavilions have to give a future vision on structural design and innovation and have to be the outcome of (excellent) structural research. It is our ambition to have an exhibition that shows new insights on structural typologies in the design of a pavilion.
The pavilions will be exhibited in the summer of 2015 and during the 2015 IASS symposium in the Muziekgebouw in Amsterdam. The exhibition will be opened at the end of the Holland Festival in June 2015. During the conference the jury of the 2015 IASS symposium contest, chaired by the president of the IASS, will award two prizes to the most innovative and challenging structures that have been designed and realized. The winning teams will get a price of 1000 euro each and an honoree certificate signed by the jury.

The pavilion contest consists of two phases. The first phase is the submission and acceptance of proposals in December 2014.
The second phase is the building of the pavilions by the participants and exhibition of the pavilions in Amsterdam in July and August 2015. During the 2015 symposium the jury will select the two winning pavilions.
