The Architecture Foundation, on behalf of the London Borough of Newham and Design for London, is running an open international competition to design a permanent group of kiosks in Meridian Square, Stratford, east London, for use before, during and after the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The kiosks will serve as venues for information, orientation and services in the town centre.

The jury comprises architects Sarah Wigglesworth and Christophe Egret, Philip Singleton of the London Borough of Newham, Eleanor Fawcett of Design for London, David Sterry of Transport for London and Sarah Ichioka, director of The Architecture Foundation.

The competition will be open to entries from 13 July until 3 September 2010. Further details and a brief are available from the Architecture Foundation. A shortlist of design teams will be awarded £1,500 each to develop their designs to RIBA stage D. A selection of entries will be on public display at Stratford Old Town Hall during the London Design Festival 2010 (18-26 September), where the public will be invited to comment on the designs. The winning team appointed to supervise the project through to RIBA stage L will be announced in October 2010.
