| An architectural design competition is a special type of competition in which an organization or government body that plans to build a new (often public) building asks
for architects to enter differing designs for the building. The winning design is
usually chosen by a panel of non-competing architects and government and local representatives.
This method generally results in much more interesting buildings, as compared to what would be designed by a
government-appointed draftsperson or similar.
