The IASS2016 organizing committee would like to ask the young people to propose the design for the new national stadium Japan, which symbolize the direction of spatial structure in the 21st century. The main points that the committee ask for are as follows:
a. Spatial structure of the 21st century: Please propose innovative or new idea in the structural system, concept or design.
b. Soundness of the structural design: Please indicate clearly how the proposed structure stands against self-weight, wind, snow and seismic loadings. No detailed calculation is necessary.
The design of New National Stadium Japan is providing a golden opportunity to take thought of spatial structures in the 21st century. However the real competition organized by the Japanese government has never had enough space to involve the proposal from young people, who will be the real financier and user of the stadium for future. Therefore the organizing committee of IASS2016 decided to host an international competition of the new national stadium Japan for young generation. The competition is a design competition which is completely independent from the one organized by Japanese government for the real project. The purpose of it is to encourage and to see the idea from young people. The winning proposals will be awarded during IASS2016. Designers, engineers and students under 40 of age are all welcome to participate in the competition.

But one participant can entry for one proposal, only. For a group, all members must be under forty of above criteria. Participants must register before the deadline of registration.
