Design competitions are the best way to find a high-standard and effective solution for demanding projects, offering the opportunity to review quality based on concrete proposals instead of relying on just price or promises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the goal is a sustainable and functional built environment offering long-term economy, a design competition is not a luxury but a rational and justified method for procurement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Asko Takala, Chairman, Finnish Association of Architects SAFA, Architect SAFA, Kirsti Siv\u00e9n &amp; Asko Takala Arkkitehdit Oy<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sustainability requirements for built environments increase the complexity of design and highlight the close teamwork needed between design and execution in both newbuild and renovation projects.
