It focuses on an ethnographic study of an architectural competition organized by a private client to develop and select both a design and a design team for a large building in the future city. The chapter explains the evaluation process during a new form of architectural competition. During three workshops held at Carlsberg, four teams presented and discussed their design proposals in front of a jury board. The chapter contributes to a better understanding of how the use of dialogue establishes social interactions and possibilities for participation between the teams and the jury board in the competition. It investigates the dialogue-based evaluation of the design proposals according to different criteria during the workshops.
