• Create the project in the US Forma demo project, which is available as a demo project for commercial, educational, and trial users. 
• The area requirements are 3,000,000 ft² min, 4,500,000 ft max GFA.

Judging Criteria: Your design will be evaluated based on three key criteria:
Architectural Design: Develop an exciting proposal that enhances the urban fabric surrounding the plot.
Living Qualities: Show how you have used the analyses to optimize your proposal. E.g. Tell how insight helped shape the result and final concept. Find a balance between good sun exposure and shadow areas, optimize daylight access using the Vertical Sky Component, and use Embodied Carbon to shape your buildings. Make sure to avoid wind tunnels and create an extraordinary outdoor microclimate.  
Storytelling: Explain your design decisions in a data-driven way. The voiceover should demonstrate how Forma was used as a decision-support tool. Consider your buildings, the outdoor areas they define and the impact on neighboring buildings, and tell your design story in an easy to understand and compelling way. Note that you are allowed to use and show a workflow that includes 3rd party tools. 

Submission Details:

• The competition proposals must be delivered as a screen recording video with voice-over in English. 
• The video must be longer than 2 min and shorter than 3 min.
