Competition Objective

The Lift New Parliament is a flexible and easily transportable structure providing a meeting and performance space. This is a competition to find the design team for this structure.

The final design of the structure will be achieved through a participatory process involving the design team with an invited group of participants from east London boroughs.

The Lift New Parliament will open in June 2008 as the centrepiece of the Lift Festival. Once open, it will travel throughout London, nationally and internationally.

The Architecture Foundation and Lift invite participants to suggest inspiring, innovative yet realistic designs for this new temporary structure which will provide a new concept in meeting space.

The budget for the design and fit-out of the structure is £400,000.
