Now is your chance to impress the judges with your lightweight, fabric structure designs.

The 2012 London Olympic committee has launched a design challenge for a temporary information structure.

According to the competition website: “The aim of this International competition is to design a temporary, freestanding information pavilion within the world famous Trafalgar Square in the Heart of London during the 2012 Games. The competition hopes to achieve the following:

• Encourage and reward design excellence at a small scale, which integrates function, structure, details and the spirit of the games.
• Research, respond to and highlight the unique aspects of designing an information pavilion that will be used by visitors during the games.
• Encourage the employment of sustainable design in all aspects of the proposal.”
