Dezeen promotion: Young Architects Competitions is inviting architects and designers to imagine architectural installations for the entrances to the Lamborghini museum and plant.

The Lamborghini Road Monument competition is organised by YAC in collaboration with Lamborghini to celebrate the release of the House of Bull SUV car in 2018.

It asks entrants to design a pair of landmarks for the entrances to the Italian car brand's plant and museum in Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy.

The brief states that each installation should reflect the character and the values of Lamborghini, which has produced luxury cars and SUVs since 1963.

"Aimed at creating an internationally known intervention, Lamborghini Road Monument will soon mark contemporary architecture significantly,"said the organisers."Two landmarks to celebrate the legend and sculpt in matter the history of speed, power and innovation."

The international jury panel is made up of a number of well-known architects and designers, including Patrik Schumacher from Zaha Hadid Architects, Fabio Novembre from Studio Fabio Novembre, Yama Karim from Studio Daniel Libeskind and Nicola Scaranaro from Foster + Partners.

A total of €20,000 (approximately £16,850) in prize money will be awarded. The winner will receive €12,000 (£10,100), the runner-up gets €4,000 (£3,370) and the third prize is €2,000 (£1,685). Two honourable mentions will also receive €1,000 (£842) each.

Ten other finalists will receive an honourable mention. An additional 30 finalists will receive a one-year subscription to architecture magazine Casabella.

All material and guidelines for the competition can be downloaded from the YAC website. Entrants must then register and upload their project.

Lamborghini Road Monument 

Visionary, cutting-edge, pure: these are the values that currently characterise Automobili Lamborghini SpA. Since 1963 the company has created four-wheeled dreams, design and engineering masterpieces that reached every continent and became legendary in the world because of their visionary and pioneering features.

An international legend with an Italian heart. A legend that, starting from 2018, will be enriched by a further exciting chapter. Made in Italy and known as the Urus project, the third model of the House of the Bull will soon be leading the market as the new Made in Italy luxury icon: a super-sport car among the SUVs.

In order to celebrate this event, along with a new enlargement of its base, Automobili Lamborghini intends to innovate the places of the legend inviting all the designers to imagine two monumental landmarks at the entrance of its historic plants.

How to reflect the character and the values of one of the most renowned and valued brand of the international scenario in an architectonic installation? How to architecturally interpret the DNA of one of the most representative brands of the automotive history?

This is the challenge of Lamborghini Road Monument, the competition of Automobili Lamborghini to build two architectonic landmarks aimed at marking the entrances of Sant'Agata Bolognese and its plant.

It will also give the opportunity to value the talent of the designers working for the House of the Bull, which is one of the most prestigious and renowned brands in the world.
