Competition all plots can be assumed to be fully serviced with all necessary
utilities and can be assumed to be level at 19.50 meters AOD (Water Level at
15.50 meters AOD)",what does it mean?
All plots are above ground. The water
level in the area is at 15.50 and ground floor level on all of the plots is at
19.50m.As stated in the competition guidelines in section 7.1 (Page 27), number
10: Parking is on ground surface or above-ground garage and to be incorporated
in the design; underground parking is not allowed due to the high water table.

I would like to clarify that the kindergarten belongs in terms of parking in
Cultural use: 1 car space per 62.5sqm (= 4000/62.5=64 cars) and 1 bicycle per
100sqm (4000/100=40 cycles)?
Hua Yan/Creativersal/Grace needs to confirm this with the Ruichang Government and respond to the contestant accordingly copied to FAQ@s.

Is it possible to setback buildings, vehicles of access and access for
pedestrians?
You may set the building back if you so

The CAD drawings should be able to be
downloaded from the website and then you
are able to change and edit them as you would like.
15.
Can topographic designs and levels be altered?
In terms of topography, all plots are
above ground. The water level in the area is at 15.50 and ground floor level on
all of the plots is at 19.50m. All Photographs are included in the design
parameters guide and those are the only photos that are available.
16.
How do we design to access the streets?
There are guidelines on the website but

This includes everything. Your entire
submission should be no more than 8 A0 boards.
18.
For the final result, are A3 / A4 report and Multi-media /animation requested?
The final submission can be any size, so
long as the boards do not exceed 8 A0 boards. For example, you could submit 64
