BRIEF ONE - CLOSED
Northern Lights Observatory

Witnessing the Northern Lights is an awe-inspiring experience. The sweeping green and red displays that fill the night sky leave those who see them deeply moved. To capture this experience is the challenge set by the first Line of Site brief.

One of the best places to see the northern lights is in northern Norway. Far into the Arctic Circle, the location selected is remote and inhospitable. Here we would like you to envisage a unique observatory where visitors will be able to view the full majesty of this natural phenomenon. Closed

BRIEF TWO - LIVE NOW
City Transportation Interchange
There is no city in the world that does not suffer from road congestion and pollution. One solution to what is a growing problem is to encourage the use of sustainable modes of transport such as the bicycle.

Many view the bicycle as incompatible with the commercial needs of a city, but with the correct infrastructure this can change. This is the driver behind our second Line of Site brief. Can you envisage a transportation concept that can alter the perception of sustainable transport? We are challenging you to conceptualise a City Cycle Interchange structure/building where people/commuters entering your chosen city – be it by car, rail, bus – can efficiently access a bicycle to complete their onward journey…..Register or Click here for Brief

BRIEF THREE
The Meeting Point
There can be no more important building serving a community than its ‘meeting point’. It is the place that defines the people that use it, where they come together to socialise, integrate, exchange ideas, discuss issues and, above all, relax in the company of others.

This third and final Line of Site brief takes us in a new direction: we want you to decide where your Meeting Point is to be constructed. We would like you to propose a new building that will lie at the heart of your community, a new building that will draw people to it, be familiar - in the way that it reflects the values of the community and the directions in which it is developing – and impart sense of belonging.
