THE COMPETITION – Open Up the Box
Over a period of two months in 2006, the UC Institute for Research in the Arts demonstration project Open Container took place as part of a class taught jointly by Professors Kim Yasuda and Dick Hebdige of UC Santa Barbara. With a small budget for supplies and donated materials from local shipping company, J. Staal Storage Solutions, two shipping containers were transformed into a modular dwelling unit. A third container served as exhibition space for the proposed design prototypes. The course was a research and studio exploration of the transportable and residential mobility of container culture, with a focus on reuse and sustainability. UCIRA and J Staal Storage Solutions would like to open up opportunities for others to devise and execute equally dynamic and innovative research and design experiments. Engaging affordability and sustainability as themes for this inaugural competition, participants are asked to use two 20-foot shipping containers as the raw material to create attractive, functional and eco-friendly designs as possible solutions to the affordable housing question. The sponsors seek a building that will be mobile, functional and beautiful. Successful designs need to prove both cost and energy efficient as well as conform to current local zoning and building codes. This competition offers visibility and recognition to the winning proposal and a chance to see the project realized in three dimentions in a key location on the UC Santa Barbara campus.
NATURE OF THE AWARD
The competition winner will receive a cash prize of $10,000 and two 20-foot shipping containers to be used toward the implementation of their design. The winning design should be producible for approximately $10,000, although teams may opt to produce a slightly more expensive version based on available match funding. The total cap for production costs for this competition is set at $20,000. Space in which to carry out the transformation of the containers may also be made available at the J Staal Storage Solutions facility in downtown Santa Barbara, provided the winning design team provides their own insurance and a release of liability to J Staal Enterprises, LLC for use of the space. Second and third place winners will receive $500 and $250 cash prizes respectively. Honorable mention award winners may also be named. If an agreement cannot be reached with the top-ranked designer, the sponsors may elect to negotiate with the next highest ranked contestant, but they are under no obligation to do so.
WHO MAY APPLY/ELIGIBILITY
This is an international competition open to anyone with great design ideas. Enter alone or in a group. Collaborative and multi-disciplinary teams are encouraged ( i.e. a designer and an artist, a graphic designer and a student, a builder and a homemaker). Project teams are encouraged to include students as part of the team composition.
PROJECT SCOPE
Site –
The proposed site for the demonstration project is a temporary location on the UCSB West Campus. The West Campus Gateway serves as a major entrance into campus and the adjacnt community of Isla Vista. The project will be sited on unpaved land near the existing Art Department studio facility, Cameron Hall. Due to the site conditions the project shall be self-leveling and self-contained. On site access to auxiliary power may be available for the showcase period of up to several years. In the event the West Campus site is not available, organizers reserve the right to locate the structure on an alternative site.
Program –
The project is intended to conform to either City of Santa Barbara or County of Santa Barbara secondary dwelling unit guidelines [also known as accessory units and granny flats] and should be designed as "habitable space." During the showcase period the completed structure will used as artist studio space.The sponsors are committed to fostering green building practices that include material reuse and renewable energy as primary goals of this project. Other requirements include:
- the structure can be a standard or modified shipping container, or a mix of the two
- final size of the structure may be up to 400 sf
- when complete the structure must be transportable (i.e. maintain structural integrity)
- use of recycled and recyclable materials is encouraged
- use of materials made using sustainable processes is also a plus
- while power and other utilities may be available at the installation site, applicants should strive to integrate a soft energy source (solar panel, solar battery, natural fluorescents) to power interior and/or exterior lighting or other technology (digital, video, sound, sensory). Similar considerations should be applied to water, heating and waste disposal needs
- final design must be erectable by 2 - 4 people within a 48 hour time period
- special consideration will also be given to designs that allow for modularity: i.e. that can either be assembled in various configurations or configured in multiples to expand the original design

THEME
connection n.1. act of connecting ; state of being connected
In our fast pace, rapidly changing world, BECA gallery has been established as a bridge to and for emerging contemporary art.
The traditional Inuit view of the world is one of intrinsic connections between all things: whether they are the integral ones of family ties, the dynamics of nature and the landscape or the spirit world. Within other cultures, today’s technologies along with the ease of global movement enable new, previously unknown, connections to manifest themselves.
