The FlyNY Kite Competition is open to the international design community- including architects, artists, engineers, urban designers, product and industrial designers- and the greater NYC community- families, students, citizens.

Designing and building a kite involves an understanding of structure, proportion, craft, and function.

Form and function are inextricably intertwined and constructability is paramount. Kites use wind energy to perform, creating the opportunity for a discussion of sustainability in design.

Kite design is didactic – an intuitive and creative exercise that encourages exploration. FlyNY encourages multi-disciplinary teams to participate.

Pre-registration: till Friday, March 27, 2009.
