Superstudio is an ideas competition that values and fosters studio culture; networking and support between students of different universities and years of study; conceptual thinking; critique and analysis of topical subjects; and interaction between the architectural profession and the community. In these ways Superstudio achieves many things that SONA works toward most passionately. SONA is therefore excited that Superstudio is quickly becoming its flagship event.

Held as an annual event, this competition is an educatory vehicle. Its goal is to encourage debate, critique and investigation into an architectural issue, a most important part of which requires architects to think how it is that they communicate a spatial and environmental concept. Students are confronted with a challenging problem that is of broad relevance and work within a 24hour block over a weekend. They are encouraged to respond conceptually, imaginatively, provocatively and with particular consideration for the future as well as to demonstrate a critical engagement with the issues inherent in the proposed problem.
