Architects Competition

Zambia Association of Manufacturers is the apex association of manufacturers whose goal is to enhance the manufacturing sector’s contribution to 20% of GDP by 2030. The Association is therefore constantly developing initiatives that are supportive towards the growth of the manufacturing sector in Zambia. In order to fulfil its mandate and in a bid to encourage local creativity and the Proudly Zambian Spirit, the Association wishes to incorporate more fields in its vision for industry growth. We therefore invite student architects to submit an architectural impression of both the internal and external of the proposed Secretariat office building in 3D.

Details of the design are as follows;

  1. The proposed design should comprise at least 3 wings
  2. A total number of at least 5 single offices and 4 shared offices
  3. Foyer/ Reception area
  4. Kitchen and Eating area
  5. Board room to be attached to the office of the CEO
  6. Store room
  7. Sufficient parking space

  1. All submissions to include sketch drawings as well as 3D drawings to sit on 2 acres of land.
  2. The competition seeks to acquire an artistic impression which may be produced by any creative mind/student.
  3. It is NOT a solicitation for designs, it is purely intended to promote Proudly Zambian creativity.
  4. The competition is restricted to local student architects and those in the built environment field (Urban Designers, Planners, Engineers, Quantity Surveyors and Construction Managers) who are looking to grow their portfolio. Therefore, professional Architects may NOT participate, unless willing to work on a probono basis.
  5. The Association is NOT obligated to adopt the winning design.
