archiecho — Tue, 07 May 2024 03:17:59 +0200

Registration Deadline: May 23, 2024; Submission Deadline: May 23, 2024 Education cannot be put on hold without risking the future of generations.The "Future School for Ukraine" project aims to support Ukrainian people facing the daunting task of rebuilding schools and reviving the education sector, heavily impacted by war.It will provide a ready-to-implement and free-to-use adaptive technical design for building new schools across the country. The availability of such a solution will save time and financial resources and will facilitate fundraising for the recovery of Ukraine’s school system.The Lithuanian Fund for the Development Cooperation and Humanitarian Aid allocated €500,000 for the implementation of the project.More than 3,000 school buildings in Ukraine are currently severely damaged or destroyed as a result of ongoing military aggression. More than a third of Ukrainian pupils only have access to distance learning. A large number of pupils do not attend school because their safety is not guaranteed: there are no shelters. Internal migration to safer parts of the country has put the education infrastructure in less war-affected regions under severe strain, some schools operate three shifts a day. Pupils and teachers are facing the problems of emotional and psychological well-being.The following key priorities are identified in the light of these and other challenges related to education in Ukraine:Access to education;Pupil and teacher safety;Educational gaps due to inadequate education process;Teacher burnout and pupils’ psychological well-being.In terms of the needs of educational infrastructure which exist today and will remain in place for the near future, Ukraine will require the multi-purpose education centres in regional centres covering an area of up to 50 kilometres;The examination of a multitude of arguments at the competition development phase has led to a decision to develop the concept of a Multifunctional Education Centre.Multifunctional Education Centre is to accommodate around 550 children of all ages, from primary school to lyceum, with facilities for temporary accommodation for pupils and teachers, spaces for community activities and psychological rehabilitation, and a dual-use shelter.Adaptive Reuse Architectural Design means an architectural work, a set of architectural solutions for a building design featuring maximum solutions for the site, the interior and the exterior of the building, which can be applied independently of the specific target site or location, and could be re-used, in adapted form, for multiple different locations, each time by individually integrating and adapting it to the local context.This is an adaptive reuse architectural design competition, therefore a specific site is not provided at the competition stage. In order to identify the volumetric and spatial adaptability of the proposals and the outdoor area solutions, three hypothetical sites with different characteristics are provided in the procurement documentation.More at futureschoolforukraine.euRead the full post on Bustler

FORM FOLLOWS LIFE

archiecho — Fri, 03 May 2024 19:34:59 +0200

Registration Deadline: Aug 31, 2024; Submission Deadline: Aug 31, 2024 In this competition, we challenge participants to reimagine urban spaces through the lens of life (including human, plant and animal). Proposals should develop an approach to shape cities as systems supporting life and enhancing its relational qualities, rather than as productive and efficient ‘machines’. Participants are invited to submit designs that showcase the transformation of urban spaces into thriving ecosystems that respect and reflect the complex interdependencies of life. The designs should explore radical approaches towards the rethinking and designing of urban spaces.Over the last two centuries many urban areas have evolved under the heavy influence of industrial and economic priorities, leading to a significant division between human constructions and natural environments. This historical context sets the stage for our challenge: to bridge this divide through innovative urban design that respects, reflects and enhances the dynamic relationships of all living forms – human, plant, and animal; to imagine a city that cares, heals, and grows with all living forms by asking “what are the qualities of life and how can we harness them as shaping forces for cities?”This competition seeks to create space for a paradigm shift in the way we think, plan and live in cities towards FORM FOLLOWS LIFE…LINKRead the full post on Bustler

Tallinn Architecture Biennale 2024, Installation Programme Competition: "For&This&Situation"

archiecho — Tue, 23 Apr 2024 03:01:06 +0200

Registration Deadline: May 15, 2024; Submission Deadline: May 15, 2024 The Tallinn Architecture Biennale 2024, TAB 2024 (tab.ee), which will take place from 9 October to 1 December, 2024 (Opening Week: October 9th – 16th, 2024), has presented its Installation Programme Competition: "For-This-Situation".With a submission deadline on May 15th, 2024, the Installation Competition (download the competition brief at this link: https://2024.tab.ee/competitions/vision-design-competition/) challenges participants to develop creative designs for a temporary outdoor installation at Tallinn's busiest local transportation hub – the Balti Jaam. The Pavilion is located on the edge of the largely intact Tallinn Bastion Belt, which encircles Tallinn’s UNESCO-protected medieval Old Town. The winning proposal of the Installation Programme Competition will serve as a waiting area for the passengers of the local bus lines. During TAB 2024 a 1:1 fragment of the winning proposal will be built. The project should draw inspiration by the concept of standing still, an act of killing time and needing shelter. The Pavilion will focus on the contrasts of everyday life: happiness, disappointment, security or boredom as we wait for a message, a job interview or a gathering.The Installation Programme Competition aligns with TAB 2024’s main theme “Resources for a Future”, which was conceived by the curatorial team Daniel A. Walser, Anhelina L. Starkova and Jaan Kuusemets, and delves into different principles of using our resources, in architecture, building materials or urban planning. “The For-This-Situation Pavilion” encourages participants to explore new ways of using repurposed, reused resources and use bio-based materials to create a durable installation.Laura Linsi and Roland Reemaa, curators of the TAB 2024 Installation Programme Competition, explain their manifesto as follows:“We arguably live in unprecedented times and yet we carry on with our lives. Between romanticised pasts and utopian futures, this Open Call explores the agile qualities of architecture – collaborative authorships, regenerative design and non-linear construction processes. Derived directly from the Latin phrase ad hoc, we seek alternative practices on how an architectural project can be planned, built, maintained and dismantled in the form of a public pavilion for today's needs and with today’s means.”The TAB 2024 Installation Programme Competition invites architects to imagine a public infrastructure that reuses materials from a local timber manufacturer (Thermory), second-hand material handlers and potential collaborators from quarries, forestry, waste management departments to create a community space that prioritises people, sufficiency and joy.As a member of the TAB 2024 curatorial team, Daniel A. Walser asserts:“With the transformation of the competition from artistic sculptural objects, exhibited on a podium, to a functional built structure at the central train station, we bring architecture to the wider public. I wholeheartedly believe that architecture can be instrumental in solving today’s problems. Architecture isn’t only an artistic tool in itself; it helps to improve the world. This competition shows the potential of a vision to come to life for daily life. The theme of TAB 2024 "Resources for a Future" materialises and is built on a 1:1 scale through this competition.”JURYAnhelina L. Starkova, architect & curator of TAB 2024, will lead the Jury panel for the Installation Programme Competition, alongside Indrek Peil (EE) – architect, Kavakava architects, Austris Mailītis (LV), architect & educator, Anhelina L. Starkova (UA), architect & curator of TAB 2024 , Ann Kristiin Entson (EE) – architect & urban planner, Tallinn Strategic Management Office, Simo Ilomets (EE) – engineer, lecturer TalTech, and other professionals who will be revealed in the upcoming weeks.The winning team will be announced at the end of July 2024.PRIZESEach runner-up team will be awarded €500 upon successfully submitting two-stage deliverables, while the winning proposal will be awarded €3.000 prize designated as a creator’s fee.The total budget allocated for installation is €12.000. Each qualifying entry must adhere to this predetermined budget, covering expenses such as materials, construction, dismantling, transportation, engineer consultations, and travel expenses for the winning creators.All successful entries will be presented as a separate Installation Programme Exhibition at the Museum of Estonian Architecture in Tallinn.For questions and further information about the competition brief, please contact info@tab.ee by 30 April 2024.Read the full post on Bustler

Calling for architects, designers, students, teachers, engineers, innovators, thinkers, and everyone else to be a part of the 24th edition of our architecture competitions. We all have always yearned for our personal space, one that takes us far away from our chaotic and stressful lives; our very own Home rooted in Mother Nature, one that reconnects us to our origins, rejuvenating our mind, body, and soul. We all aspire for a home that is not just an extension of our persona but is also an expression of our individuality and freedom. Our Homes are the most significant architectural spaces through which we experience our surroundings. An intimate place that protects, shelters, heals, nurtures, and defines our perspective helping us establish relations to navigate through the chaotic world outside this envelope. Our humble abodes are being redefined with every passing day, the world is fast changing, and so are the homes with it. With the rise of concepts like Smart homes, Tiny Homes, Micro Homes, Homes today are versatile entities – doubling up as offices, play areas, work-out zones, and spaces for interaction and recreation, but at the center of all things is essentially a place to escape and rejuvenate our minds. Growing up many of us have dreamt of living in a tree house, a fortress to protect and nurture everything we hold dear. An abode high up in the clouds, under the starry skies, amongst the tall trees, chirping sounds of birds and aromas of nature. A playscape for all our dear ones that fosters everyone around helping to fulfill our dreams cultivating a bond that stays. For most of us a tree house is one of our greatest childhood dreams triggering our wildest imaginations, for the lucky few it is a memory that they cherish till date. As adults, we continue to aspire for our very own Tree House, one that will fulfill our needs to lead productive lives. The Tree House is synonymous with freedom, independence, adventure, creativity, safety, warmth, fun, solitude, and many more emotions aspired by children and adults alike. Can we imagine our own Tree House, nestled in the lap of nature, atop magnificent treetops and under starry skies? “A tree is our most intimate contact with nature.” - George Nakashima To know more about the competition click here- Tree House 2024 Opportunity: With ever growing population calling cities its home the pressure on its resources is tremendous that has resulted in strained living environment.

With lack of breathing spaces within our urban environments and with overwhelming amount of information pushed to us every single day and with constantly degrading balance takes the better out of the most individuals. With little to no contact with our natural surroundings, all of us today dream of living more freely and openly with nature Research proves that all living beings need ample sunlight and fresh air to function as happy, productive individuals. A consistent contact with our natural surroundings is proved to make humans happier, while also helping them form better interpersonal relationships. Such a contact with nature also helps invoke positive emotions amongst humans. We now have the opportunity to explore this vital relationship between ourselves and Mother Nature and the role well-integrated, sustainable architecture can play in amplifying this bond. The Tree House looks at redefining a home as an active part of Mother Nature, with all the necessary amenities, resources required for productive living. The Tree House can be visualized to re-imagine sustainability through innovation of maximum usable space in a minimum footprint, suspended between the earth and sky, on spectacular treetops. Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you. —Frank Lloyd Wright To download brief of the competition click here- TH24 Brief CHALLENGE: We challenge you to go on a nostalgic trip down memory lane and picture a lighthearted home that prioritises solitude and fostering inner tranquility to picture a life spent in the midst of the great outdoors, beneath the starry sky, and suspended amid the majestic trees.

A gateway to Mieres

archiecho — Wed, 10 Apr 2024 10:35:01 +0200

Registration Deadline: May 12, 2024; Submission Deadline: May 12, 2024 The University of Oviedo launches its sixth international ideas competition for students with the aim of obtaining proposals for the resolution of a problem associated with transport networks in the city, and the opportunity offered by transport infrastructures to generate landmarks and unique entrances to towns. The northern access to the city of Mieres (Spain) via the A-66 motorway is very deteriorated from an urban, aesthetic and landscape point of view, and is currently a purely functional infrastructure for road traffic that has not been effectively integrated into the city. The theme for the ideas competition thus arises: the intervention in the area around the northern access with the fundamental purpose of improving the pedestrian, cycling and landscape conditions of the surroundings, thus dignifying an urban space that should be representative of the city. In addition, the competition leaves open the possibility of facilitating access for pedestrians and cyclists to the river's edge, the option of making modifications to the configuration of traffic and the possibility of altering the current layout of the transport infrastructures in the area. Further information is available in the administrative rules of the competition.Link for downloading information: 2024_ A gateway to MieresRead the full post on Bustler

Specifically, the city of Lugano, the main urban centre in the Canton and in Italian-speaking Switzerland, is working on many fronts to offer efficient services for its citizens and for those who choose Lugano as a tourist destination.Monte Brè, for example, one of the landmarks of the city of Lugano, offers a wonderful panorama and is a perfect destination for those who want to take a break and immerse themselves in a unique atmosphere in contact with nature. The funicular to reach the summit of the mountain has recently been in service for 115 years. With a steadily growing tourist attendance, it is the subject of continuous investment, with the aim of offering visitors a complete and sustainable experience. So, even in BeSpace, with the second edition of this competition, we want to actively contribute and offer new activities and experiences to the citizens and future tourists of the city of Lugano. The aim is to expand the offer of Monte Brè, as well as to promote sustainability and the enhancement of the landscape, always relying on the creativity of young people, in whom we believe a lot.This led to the idea of designing STARRY NIGHT EXPERIENCE at the top of Monte Brè, consisting of special living capsules with astronomical observation activities. The aim is creating a place of interest, recreation and relaxation, but also to give people the chance to learn a few rules of orientation to explore the sky.For more details visit the website www.playthefuture.chRead the full post on Bustler

From the overlooked corners of urban landscapes to the intricacies of objects we use in our daily life, there is a wealth of untapped potential waiting to be unleashed through clever and witty micro-improvements that may appear modest in scale but with the potential to make a substantial impact on sustainability, social equity, health and wellbeing, urban resilience, and much more.

Architects for Humanity: An International Competition to Redesign Housing Quarter for Earthquake Victims in Northern Syria

archiecho — Wed, 20 Mar 2024 01:34:54 +0100

Registration Deadline: Jul 30, 2024; Submission Deadline: Jul 31, 2024 "Architects for Humanity" is an international competition launched by Mimaria Studio in collaboration with Molham Team, inviting architects, designers, and urban planners from around the globe to engage in a transformative challenge. We invite the international architectural community to rise to the challenge of designing innovative, sustainable, and culturally sensitive housing solutions for the earthquake victims of Syria. This competition seeks to address the complex crisis in Syria by creating a new urban quarter that provides shelter and recreates a sense of home, community, and belonging. In these challenging times, the situation in Syria has highlighted how deeply war and natural disasters can disrupt lives. For thirteen years, the Syrian conflict, combined with the latest earthquake in February 2023, has displaced over 12.5 million people, making it one of the most significant displacements we've seen. Over a decade of devastating conflict has scarred Syria's socio-cultural fabric and severely damaged buildings and infrastructure, leaving millions homeless. Families have lost their homes, sense of safety, and place in the world.In architecture, the term 'dwelling' transcends the physical realm, embodying a sense of tranquility, safety, and belonging - elements the victims of displacement have lost. Home is more than just four walls and a roof; it is a space that nourishes a sense of identity, community, and security. As such, what is required is more than providing temporary relief or basic shelter for these displaced communities. The necessity is for long-term, sustainable solutions that address the root causes of their situation and work towards their reintegration into the social fabric, enabling them to reclaim their sense of 'dwelling.'Design ProgramArea: 48.300 m² Housing Units:Total: 450 units Typology: Apartment blocks. Community Facilities:Public Square (4000 m²): A vibrant community square integrated with the commercial stores and bakery, designed for gatherings and events.Youth Center (1500 m²): Multi-purpose hall, library, workshop rooms, and separate sports halls (GYM) for women and men.

Some essential aspects to consider might include location, infrastructure, environmental impact, cost, and the population's needs and preferences. If Mongolia were to build a new capital city successfully, it could benefit the country in several ways. For example, it could provide opportunities for economic growth and development, improve living conditions for residents, and help reduce pollution and congestion in the current capital city.OBJECTIVE: The Orkhon Valley, a renowned UNESCO World Heritage Site, is transforming. Major construction work has commenced to revitalize the ancient capital of the Mongols, Kharkhorum, into a bright, eco-city based on environmentally friendly development.This ambitious project aims to convert the city into a sustainable metropolis that will serve as a model for the world. The initiative involves adopting cutting-edge technologies, renewable energy sources, green building techniques, and modern urban planning principles to achieve this.The new Kharkhorum has been designed to be a smart city where intelligent systems will efficiently manage resources, including energy, water, and waste. The city's infrastructure will be powered by renewable energy sources such as solar and wind, significantly reducing the carbon footprint. In addition, the city's architecture and urban planning will be centered around ecological and sustainable development, ensuring the preservation of the Orkhon Valley's natural beauty. Green spaces, public transportation, and pedestrian paths will make Kharkhorum walkable, promoting healthy living and community engagement.

Open Call: Iraq Pavilion for a Global Exposition

archiecho — Mon, 11 Mar 2024 19:34:55 +0100

Registration Deadline: Sep 29, 2024; Submission Deadline: Oct 1, 2024 Dewan Award for Architecture 2024 - Iraq Pavilion for a Global ExpositionDetailed Competition BriefInvitation: Embark on a journey where the rich tapestry of Iraq's storied history intertwines with the nation's aspirations for the future, guided by innovation and boundless creativity. Tamayouz Excellence Award warmly invites architects, designers, engineers and artists to be a driving force in shaping Iraq's narrative on the global stage and join us in designing Iraq Pavilion for a Global Exposition at the esteemed Baghdad International Fairgrounds. Response:Participants are invited to design the Iraq Pavilion and its central plaza for a global exposition at the Baghdad International Fairgrounds. The design must adhere to certain parameters: the maximum footprint should not exceed 5000 sqm of the plot area (area is 23,250 sqm), with a maximum height of 25m above ground and 10m below ground. The permanent Iraq Pavilion will be for global gatherings at the Baghdad International Fairgrounds.Vision:The Iraq Pavilion, drawing inspiration from Mesopotamia's rich legacy, is designed to be a testament to art, architecture, and ambition. It embodies the spirit of a nation that has withstood the test of time, celebrating ancient civilisations and their contributions to humanity while looking forward to a promising future. This Pavilion serves as a symbol of identity and a beacon of resilience and innovation, showcasing Iraq's achievements and its commitment to forging global relationships. In an era when diplomacy and cultural exchange are crucial, the Pavilion will serve as a platform for Iraq to share its narrative and connect with the world. We invite innovative ideas that reflect a deep understanding of Iraq's cultural heritage and current aspirations.Challenge:Iraq has reemerged on the global stage in recent years, participating in international gatherings through National Pavilions. However, these pavilions often fail to adequately represent the significance of Iraq, its rich history and culture, the aspirations of its people, or the challenges they have overcome. Moreover, Iraq's diverse cultural heritage offers a wealth of inspiration that, when refined and thoughtfully curated, could lead to a pavilion design that elegantly showcases this diversity rather than overwhelming it. Furthermore, to ensure the pavilion's effectiveness, its design must also be contextualised to the designated plot at the Baghdad International Fairgrounds. Participants are encouraged to address this challenge contextually, by creating a work of art and architecture that would defy superficiality, and would capture the cultural richness and aspirations of the Iraqi people.Eligibility:Architects, students, engineers, and designers are invited to participate in this competition. Participation can be on an individual or team basis (maximum of 8 members per team). We encourage the participation of multidisciplinary teams.Registration Early Registration: $75 from Feb to 30/Apr Standard Registration: $90 from 01/May to 31/Aug.

Trieste Contemporanea, a contemporary art hub of research and dissemination in Central Eastern Europe, is excited to announce the latest edition of its international design competition, which this year is unique because it runs in unison with the EU Slovenia-Italy cross-border project for Nova Gorica and Gorizia, designated European Capital of Culture (ECoC) in 2025. In preparing the ECoC event, organizing bodies from the two cities (which form one continuous urban area on the border) declare to “share the same commitment: being the European Capital of Borderless Culture”. So, the competition is an initiative towards the “GO! 2025—Nova Gorica and Gorizia European Capital of Culture 2025” event, and produced by the Trieste Contemporanea Committee with the support of the Regione Autonoma Friuli Venezia Giulia and in collaboration with the Central European Initiative (CEI), which has provided for one of its main prizes since 2006, and the Studio Tommaseo in Trieste. The competition and awards The “International Design Contest Trieste Contemporanea” is a biennial event established in 1995 by the Italian scholar of aesthetics and design Gillo Dorfles with the aim of showcasing the most original contemporary design offerings from the countries of Central Eastern Europe. –Beba Prize for the youngest designer individually participating, among those selected: 1,000 EUR. –CEI Prize for the best design from one of the non-EU CEI countries: 3,000 EUR. –Gillo Dorfles Prize / First Prize Trieste Contemporanea for contest edition best design: 4,000 EUR.

Street furniture is more than just a functional tool, it embodies social values and community action. As such, does it have the potential to also influence and shape those values and action? What can be sustainably transmitted in this location, at this point in time, through urban design to future citizens? The contestant should design a seating installation (e.g. a bench) with the above concept and sentiments and of course for resting, viewing the panorama and socializing. The designed street furniture must be absorbed into the daily social life of the cities and should be designed merging functionality, formal simplicity, comfort, durability and minimal maintenance. It should be reproducible in a small series.Read the full post on Bustler

A House For Louis Sullivan

archiecho — Fri, 08 Mar 2024 00:17:59 +0100

Registration Deadline: Apr 14, 2024; Submission Deadline: Apr 14, 2024 A HOUSE FOR LOUIS SULLIVAN On April 14th, this year, there will be 100 years since the great American architect Louis Sullivan died.Sullivan was a giant of modern architecture, truly a seminal figure, very complex and with a power that didn’t try to escape fragility.In a certain way, perhaps, Sullivan was more complex than F.L. Wright and this very complexity weakened him.But he attempted to unite the opposites like very few architects did or do.He is considered “the father of Modernism” and “the father of the skyscraper.”These categorical classifications are problematic, of course, but a certain truth does exist in this case.But Sullivan was paradoxical. This “father of modernism” was also the creator of an exalted ornamentation, a hallucinating love for the superfluity of ornament, he, the alleged author of “form follows function."He was misunderstood in relation with this saying, which many attribute to him, but he attributed it to Vitruvius.Could we consider the creator of this exuberant ornamentation a functionalist ? It depends what we mean by “function”… perhaps ornament has its “function” too… maybe the same function the “useless” beauty of the peacock’s tail has, which Ruskin praised as illustrating perfectly that the most beautiful things in the world are also the most useless.So we invite you to pay homage to Louis Sullivan by imagining a house for him… a house that would unite the opposites, structure and ornament, order and disorder, rule and caprice, permanence and ephemerality.NATURE & CULTURE.The masculine principle and the feminine principle.Don’t be afraid of fragility. Fragility has its own power, well intuited by Lao Tze.A HOUSE FOR LOUIS SULLIVAN.A house for our time.A modernity without arrogance.A fragile modernity.As fragile and beautiful as the wings of the butterfly.Or the lilies…Louis Sullivan continues to teach us: a mysterious lesson, as mysterious and beautiful as that of The Book of Kells.Please send us your work, digitally, to info@icarch.us by April 14th, 2024. Please use one board format A1, oriented horizontally, or vertically. You have complete freedom to formulate your ideas.

Registration Deadline: Jun 1, 2024; Submission Deadline: Jun 1, 2024 A HOUSE FOR GUARINO GUARINI A monk, a mathematician, a writer and an architect.What an architect!A true master, who elevated structure to the heights of a symphonic work.A singing structure.A singing geometry.The Geometry of Art and Life, to use the title of a book by Matila Ghyka.This year there are 400 years since his birth.But he is our contemporary.And we ask you to imagine A HOUSE FOR THIS CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECT who was born 400 years ago, or who will be born 400 years from now ?BOTH.GUARINO GUARINI.He made of Turin what Palladio made of Vicenza.His own city.What would Turin be without the baroque architecture of Guarino ?Less, although other important architects built there.Let’s think for a second of Carlo Molino. And let’s imagine this brilliant Torinese architect would imagine a House for Guarino Guarini.Why not ?On the spiral of time, it is not only possible, but necessary.But… Guarino was a monk, while the erotic photographs of Carlo Molino would incite even stone.Was Guarino Guarini sensual too ? Maybe a sensuous monk ?He didn’t have 18 children like Bach, but Guarino does have something in common with Bach: the musical geometry, the most musical rigor.L’esprit de geometry & l’esprit de finesse as Boileau would say.We ask you to design A HOUSE FOR GUARINO GUARINI.A house that crosses boundaries, a non European European house.An Islamic house for Christianity. A Christian house for Islam.Melting down the divisions of the Abrahamic religion.And bringing in, perhaps, even other forms of spirituality.Asia too… GUARINO GUARINI – a true Gagarin of Architecture.Please send us your work on one A1 board, oriented vertically, or horizontally. Please send it digitally to info@icarch.us by June 1st, 2024. We will publish all the works received on our website and we will also send them, for publication to major websites, e-zines, blogs, etc...Thank you,I C A R C Hwww.icarch.usRead the full post on Bustler

archiecho — Thu, 07 Mar 2024 00:17:56 +0100

Registration Deadline: Apr 16, 2024; Submission Deadline: Apr 16, 2024 The CCCB announces the 12th edition of the European Prize for Urban Public Space, which is open for entries from 5 March to 16 April 2024. The Prize, the only one of its kind in Europe, promotes debate about urban responses to challenges such as climate emergency, the increase in inequalities and the impact of technological transformations. Exceptionally, this year it incorporates Seafronts, in response to the particular vulnerability of coastal cities to climate change. The president of this year’s jury is Beth Galí, a Barcelona-born architect, urban planner, landscape architect and industrial designer. Organized by the CCCB, the Prize involves the collaboration of a network of 10 architecture and urban planning institutions, and over 50 experts from across the continent. The Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona (CCCB) announces the call for entries for the 12th European Prize for Urban Public Space. This honorary biennial competition, which since 2000 has acknowledged the best interventions in the creation, transformation and recovery of public space in European cities, will distinguish works carried out between 2022 and 2023 in its general category. The call is open from 5 March to 16 April. The Prize is the only one in Europe dedicated to public space, and is awarded to both the project designers and developers. Its main purpose is to reflect the role that issues such as shortages, inequalities, mobility, migrations, or climate emergency and the impact of new technologies have on the urban design of public space; and to be an observatory of good practices that proposes solutions for a future in which cities will play a leading role in defining society’s evolution.Category: Seafronts In the present-day context of climate crisis, in which coastal cities are laboratories for rethinking the city and the way of inhabiting it in the face of the challenges posed by rising sea levels and extreme climate phenomena, this year the Prize incorporates Seafronts into its usual categories. The jury will evaluate works centring on the transformation, recovery or creation of seafronts carried out between 2019 and 2023. Organization and Planned Calendar From all the projects presented in the general category, the international jury will select 25, of which five will be the finalists of the edition, along with another five from the Seafronts category. All of them will form part of the Prize’s Archive. The finalists will present their work at an event open to the public to be held on 28 October at the CCCB.

Covenant groups provide an opportunity for group members to build strong relationships with each other and with the larger organization of which the small group is a part. Covenant groups encourage people to talk, learn, work, and play together over time. Members may tell their life stories, offer support, and engage in work to serve the larger community. Covenant groups offer expanding opportunities for growth, caring, and connection within a congregation. Covenant groups offer caring affiliative networks, mutual responsibility, leadership opportunities, and a way for people to build and strengthen their communities. In a covenant group, people experience a relational individuality that affirms the inherent worth and dignity of every person. People experience themselves and each other as part of the interdependent web of existence of which we are all apart. Together, people establish communities that embody the values of justice, democracy, and human dignity. Each person is treated equitably. Each has a voice and is heard. And each person is respected for his or her own intrinsic humanity. The defining purpose of a covenant group is to bring people into the right relationship with each other and with the larger world.

Call for Proposals: Bethel Woods Art and Architecture Festival 2024, BuildFest

archiecho — Fri, 09 Feb 2024 03:34:55 +0100

Registration Deadline: Mar 29, 2024; Submission Deadline: Mar 29, 2024 BuildFest invites academics and researchers to propose ideas for large-scale art installations to be built on the historic grounds of the 1969 Woodstock festival. Over the course of a five-day live-work festival, accepted participants will work with self-organized student teams to build, install, and work through on-site design solutions. Once completed, the selection of installations will be utilized during the Catbird Music Festival—an Americana festival taking place on the historic 1969 Woodstock site—as functional art-infrastructures to be experienced and adapted for festival attendees. BUILDings are, at their core, physical constructs. Even with the rise of computational design tools and digital fabrication, they are still, necessarily, grounded in the material world; for every robot that mills or prints an object, there are people who move and transport those objects. Likewise, FESTivals are physical interactions between people–one of the remaining few places where groups gather to interface and collaborate socially without a digital veil. With this understanding, BuildFest approaches the dichotomy between the physical and digital not as a binary but as a chance for collaboration–asking potential participants to imagine what a future might look like in which digital and analog methods of construction are integrated in a more wholesome manner; one in which building technologies (old and new) can fuse to foster smaller, greener and more diverse economies capable of sustaining the long-term habitation of humans on this great floating mud-ball, planet earth. Proposals should be submitted as single PDFs, no more than 20MB, to BuildFest@bethelwoodscenter.org. Name the file “first name_last name_project title” and use the subject line “BuildFest Submission.” Submissions should include:-One project statement clearly stating both formal/technical (Build) and interactive/programmatic (Fest) concepts (no more than 450 words).-Conceptual imagery (relevant drawings, models, diagrams, and/or renderings clearly showcasing the project intent).-Project timeline and draft budget.-Bios of the faculty team.

Recognizing the large number of smaller architecture firms and sole practitioners within the Southern California area, who often do not participate in the larger general design awards programs, the Living on the Edge – Coastal Residential Design Awards is intended to be an inclusive and extensive awards program to bring these individuals and their firms the much-deserved recognition for their coastal work.The uniqueness of designing in a moderate, coastal climate is brought to light through blending the indoor/outdoor environment. Blurring the lines between interior and exterior makes us second guess our surroundings and evokes a curiosity about design and architecture that brings out the child in all of us. AWARDSThe jury will review the entries and will select projects for Honor, Merit, or Citation award recognition. The jury shall have the sole authority to determine which and how many awards are justified in each category. Each entry is considered individually and is judged on the success with which it has met its individual requirements — not in competition with other entries.

Calling for all architecture design students, young professionals, innovators, seasoned professionals, and others to be a part of the 23rd edition of our architecture competitions. This competition presents the opportunity to create a utopian tomorrow, making mankind a multi-planetary species. The last few centuries have seen Mother Earth grappling with mounting pressure towards her resources due to mankind’s quest for a better life. This persistent pressure has now compounded into unpredictable and irrevocable changes to our climatic conditions and atmosphere. To relieve this mounting weight, we have been taking huge strides in our efforts to find resources on other planets like Mars for a clean and sustainable future. With the latest edition of the architecture design competition, we aim to celebrate individuality, redefine sustainability, and exalt simple, resourceful living. Be a part of this movement; join a new wave of habitat designers! Humans have been captivated by the mystical nature of other celestial bodies surrounding our Planet Earth. This fascination has been translated to works of astronomy, astrology, architecture, and many other studies from making a simple telescope to humankind’s first steps on the Moon. This unending drive for exploration has today led us to understand our neighboring solar systems and galaxies, thousands of light years away. The previous decade has witnessed MARS as the center of attention for becoming a potential new habitat for the earth’s future population, resulting in a Martian race. With many visionary organizations and their ground-breaking explorative studies and research, the unseen future of inhabiting the Red Planet is now a real possibility. “Mars is THERE, waiting to be reached.” – Buzz Aldrin {(Former Astronaut) Him and mission commander Neil Armstrong were the first two humans to land on the Moon} CHALLENGE: We invite architects, designers, students, teachers, engineers, artists, visionaries, and everyone who believe in this unseen future and a possibility of utopian future. The participants are to create a self-sustaining living space for the initial habitants, a group of five researchers, of the Red Planet. These researchers are to further study and explore Mars to understand its resources for inhabitation and other human necessities. The 5 researchers have been carefully selected to understand various parameters to validate the idea for the existence of life on Mars. The participants are to design functional, sustainable spaces that cater to the needs of these five researchers. The spaces for the program include: · Living Area · Sleeping Area for five · Cooking Area · Research Area · Interaction Spaces · Areas for Sanitation and Bath · Recreation Area · Controlled Areas for Farming · Any other spaces that the participant wishes to specify. The participants are to select a location anywhere on the topography of Mars. With interplanetary travel for humans, not a far-fetched idea and innovations made every day to make it a reality soon. It is now time to imagine and create a new civilization. A civilization the world has dreamt with an opportunity to design the future architectural prospect on the Red Planet for others to follow. Mars awaits its very own ARCHITECT!

Fentress Global Challenge 2024

archiecho — Mon, 05 Feb 2024 20:17:53 +0100

Registration Deadline: Oct 1, 2024; Submission Deadline: Oct 1, 2024 Despite a multitude of technological advances including video conferencing and drones, the proliferation of airports worldwide continues to be spurred on by global commerce and an unrelenting demand for travel.While the airport terminal—conceived a century ago—is a relatively new architectural typology, it has since its inception held equal importance with quintessential civic buildings: city halls, courthouses, libraries, museums, and theaters. Yet, airports are uniquely complex and they are more than just high volume transportation hubs. Increasingly, airports are also workplaces, centers of commerce, recreational outlets, and cultural resources. Fentress Global Challenge (FGC) is an annual international student design competition. Since its inception in 2011, thousands of entries from over 75 countries have competed for top honors. FGC represents an extraordinary exploration into the future of architecture, and in so doing, continues to advance the pursuit of innovative design in public architecture. ELIGIBILITYFGC is open to graduate and undergraduate students currently pursuing architecture or engineering degrees in an accredited university program, as well as recent graduates (within the last four years) with a degree in architecture or engineering. Current students must provide proof of active enrollment status: a scanned copy of their student ID and current course schedule. Recent graduates must provide a scanned copy of their diploma. Participants in the Fentress Global Challenge are allowed to go solo or team up with a maximum of three team members. In the case of team submissions, awards will be split between team members. Participants are encouraged to choose the collaboration format that best aligns with their vision and design goals.GUIDELINESFGC participants are challenged to envision a terminal building for the year 2100. Concepts must:I. Create a new airport terminal concept. Entrants are encouraged to utilize forecasts for population, environmental conditions, modes of travel, and potential destinations in the creation of their concept. II. Employ Fentress’ Touchstone 2: Use Context to Create Identity. “Context is more than an intellectual consideration of the history or physical appearance of a neighborhood, city, or state, and it’s more than the way new will live with old. Context draws on the senses, the sights, smells and memories that define a place and make it unique. Context grows from community, and people respond to it.” For more on Fentress’ Eight Touchstones of Design: https://fentressarchitects.com/design-philosophy. III. Improve upon at least one primary factor influencing airport terminal building design in 2100. Entrants are encouraged to make projections about the factors that will most influence airport architecture in the future. Examples of factors include mobility, urbanization, globalization, technology, flexibility, security, project feasibility, and passenger experience. IV. Achieve sustainability and resiliency. Sustainable design is the creation of places that are environmentally responsible, healthy, equitable, and profitable. Resilient designs are capable of adapting to changing conditions and maintain or regain functionality in the face of natural and manmade disasters. V. Choose one of two site selection options:Option 1: Establish the new terminal at an existing airport that requires expansion. Participants have the flexibility to select any airport of their choice, such as:Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International (ATL)St. Louis Lambert International Airport (STL)Beijing Capital International (PEK)Los Angeles International (LAX)Dubai International (DXB)Tokyo International (Haneda) (HND)Chicago O’Hare International (ORD)London Heathrow (LHR)Shanghai Pudong International (PVG)Paris-Charles de Gaulle (CDG)Dallas/Forth Worth International (DFW)Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU)Incheon International (ICN)Option 2: Site the new terminal at a location of your choice where an airport does not yet exist. Participants should consider sites where an airport could serve as a catalyst for economic and social development. EVALUATION CRITERIAUse clear, concise language to convey ideas, key points, and design solutions. Photographs, diagrams, renderings, animations, collages or other visualizations are encouraged to help explain the concept, respecting the guidelines previously described. Please label drawings. CREATIVE APPROACH / PRESENTATIONThe design approach is innovative and inspiring. Both the concept and design solution are presented through unique and compelling graphics. RESPONSE TO SITEThe design honors the physical attributes of the site’s context and culture. The overall design strategy matches the global and local demographic requirements of the

Newhouse Architecture and Design Competition

archiecho — Fri, 02 Feb 2024 19:34:56 +0100

Registration Deadline: Apr 12, 2024; Submission Deadline: Apr 12, 2024 CAC is excited to celebrate 42 years of showcasing the talents of Chicagoland high school students solving real-world architecture and design challenges.Click here to apply today!Named after the late Illinois Senator, Richard Newhouse, this competition allows students to practice design thinking and 21st-century skills like creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and communication. It inspires teens to understand why design matters by researching, representing and redesigning the built environment to solve challenges that are communal and place-based.The theme for the 2024 Newhouse Competition is the Accessible City.What is an ‘accessible city?’According to the United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG) World Congress and Summit of Local and Regional Leaders, an accessible city ‘is a place where everyone, regardless of their economic means, gender, ethnicity, disability, age, sexual identity, migration status or religion, is enabled and empowered to fully participate in the social, economic, cultural and political opportunities that cities have to offer.’As Chicago continues to be a laboratory for city development, it is our responsibility to move into our future with a full understanding of the needs of city residents and how to create spaces and neighborhoods we need, want, and deserve.To ensure the competition is accessible and equitable to all interested participants, this year’s divisions will range from small, medium, and large-scale projects.Divisions:Small: Design a BRT Bus Shelter: Due to the rapid increase in population and shifts towards urban migration, there is a rising trend across the world for mass transit. Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is a cost-effective and efficient way to move people throughout their cities.Unlike typical bus stops, BRT stops are meant to be less frequent along routes, making the commute faster and accommodating more people. It is up to you to design a new type of transit shelter, decide how it will function and protect passengers from the elements and provide information and other amenities while they are waiting. A shelter is a structure that we may take for granted, but BRT shelters also have the potential to make our daily lives easier while also significantly impacting the way our streets look.Medium: Architectural Photo Essay: The Chicago streetscape is constantly under construction. In an already dense city, any redevelopment program, large or small, has the potential to subtly or dramatically transform the look and feel of a neighborhood. But just as a new building changes the character of a community, so too does the removal of an existing building. In 2022 alone, the City of Chicago issued more than 800 wrecking permits. While one demolition project might afford space for a much-needed neighborhood amenity, such as a new grocery store or affordable housing, another project might erase architecturally, historically, or culturally significant resources. Photographs, along with our personal stories and memories, provide a powerful record of the buildings and places Chicago has lost over time.Large: Design an affordable shipping container home: ‘Shipping container architecture’ is a growing form of design using steel intermodal shipping containers as the main structural element. The steel is not only strong but meant to withstand heavy loads and harsh weather conditions. Currently, the world has over 60 million shipping containers in use, making them widely available for alternative uses and a relatively inexpensive and sustainable building material.Read the full post on Bustler

Proposals should consider how AI influences not only the art itself but also the way we experience and interact with art. What kind of pieces will it exhibit? How will it engage with its audience? Will it be an interactive space, blurring the lines between the creator, the viewer, and the art?This competition challenges you to think about the integration of advanced technologies in architectural design, such as AI-generated artworks, virtual reality experiences, and interactive installations.LINKRead the full post on Bustler

Call for Ecotopian Tools for Multispecies Flourishing

archiecho — Sat, 27 Jan 2024 00:00:59 +0100

Registration Deadline: Mar 1, 2024; Submission Deadline: Mar 1, 2024 In cooperation with the Morris Arboretum & Gardens, the Penn Program for Environmental Humanities invites you to participate in a project to create Ecotopian Tools for Multispecies Flourishing. Successful proposals for Ecotopian Tools will be explored in designer-led public workshops at Morris in spring 2024 and will be documented in a print catalog and also included in the expanding digital “living archive,” the Ecotopian Toolkit for the Anthropocene. Proposals will introduce “ecotopian” tools, whether conceptual or realized, that might be used by visitors and inhabitants of Morris to support diverse, multi-species communities, including humans, and to connect them to other places of refuge amidst the ongoing crisis of extinction fueled by habitat loss, climate change, and other Anthropocene woes. By “multispecies” we refer to “the complexity of living, learning, and becoming with/alongside/through other planetary beings and cosmological phenomena” (Khan and Bowen). Inspired by utopian writing and projects across cultures, traditions, and times, the word "ecotopian" is borrowed from Ernest Callenbach's 1975 novel, Ecotopia. This ongoing initiative to craft and share ecotopian tools across the Delaware Valley takes a utopian approach to ecological crisis as a way to confront the feelings of helplessness and apathy that often arise in the face of global warming and the ongoing sixth mass extinction event. An Ecotopian Tool for Multispecies Flourishing should spark awareness to apprehend and address the multiplying effects of biodiversity loss and climate change. Previous Ecotopian Tools have included guided tours, workshops, community-built floating sculptures, community science initiatives, data visualizations, and more. We aim to elicit proposals that: Foster kinship relations across species dividesNurture humans’ connections with nonhuman species, both plants and animalsFacilitate passages between communities across the garden gate Allow participants to “get their hands dirty” both physically and conceptuallyProvide opportunities to “unearth” knowledge about soils and soil health Inspire and empower human visitors to support multispecies flourishing after they leave Morris Successful proposals will dig deep–not just into the sciences of the soils, plants, and animals at Morris, but also into the histories and stories that shape this place today. We aim to curate a collection of tools that together engage diverse audiences of all ages, from third-graders to college students to multigenerational families to gardeners and bird lovers of all ages. The Morris Arboretum & Gardens is primarily located in the Chestnut Hill neighborhood of Philadelphia with a portion that sits in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. The ~175 acre site spans several geologic formations evident in the sharp turns of the Wissahickon Creek as it encounters the hard Chickie’s Quartzite formation after broad turns over the Dolomitic Limestone in Montgomery County. One part of the garden sits on Wissahickon Schist, notable as the stone used to build many local homes. Before and during the colonial period, the Leni-Lenape people lived in this area for hundreds of years; they refer to the land as Lenapehoking (land of the Lenape). Post-colonization, many Lenape were forcibly removed; some remained and assimilated with white settler colonials. The land today that bears the name Morris Arboretum & Gardens is an assemblage of properties bought by siblings John and Lydia Morris between 1887 and 1913. Avid plant collectors, John and Lydia created a beautiful summer estate and enjoyed sharing it with others. After their deaths, Morris became a part of the University of Pennsylvania and was initially run by the Botany Department. The Morris later transitioned to a public-facing organization and has grown to be one of the larger gardens in the Philadelphia region with over 170,000 visitors annually. Successful proposals will be selected by a jury of eight interdisciplinary and community experts: Syd Carpenter (artist), William Cullina (Executive Director, Morris), Benoit Dubé (Chief Wellness Officer, UPenn), Scott F. Gilbert (biologist and historian), Patricia Kaishian (Curator, New York State Museum), Catherine Seavitt (Professor and Chair, Landscape Architecture, UPenn), Bryan Thompson-Nowak (Director of Education, Morris), William Valerio (Director and CEO, Woodmere Art Museum), Tama Matsuoka Wong (author and forager) and chaired by Dr. Bethany Wiggin with support from Megan Pollin Hernandez of the Penn Program for Environmental Humanities. Each Toolmaker will be awarded micro-grants of $2000 to allow for the proposed Ecotopian Tool to be prototyped, and possibly built, distributed, and used at Morris and connected communities, including the main campus of the University of Pennsylvania. Throughout early spring 2024, toolmakers will work with Morris and PPEH to lead

Redesign Everything Challenge

archiecho — Wed, 17 Jan 2024 21:17:52 +0100

Registration Deadline: Mar 13, 2024; Submission Deadline: Mar 13, 2024 What Design Can Do (WDCD) is proud to announce the launch of the Redesign Everything Challenge, its fifth Climate Action Challenge in collaboration with the IKEA Foundation, set to kick off on 17 January until 13 March 2024. WDCD invites innovators from every corner of the globe to submit ideas that radically redesign our world — from products and materials to stories, systems, services, and spaces. This call for creativity extends to all aspects of our lives, emphasising the need for circular and regenerative solutions. The challenge seeks to answer the question: What role can designers play in the transition to a fair and circular future? The Time to Redesign Everything is Now Today, signs of climate breakdown are everywhere. The stark reality of having just endured the hottest recorded year yet serves as a wake-up call, as extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and disruptions to ecosystems become more pronounced. The adverse consequences are not confined to distant futures; millions of people are already grappling with the immediate, tangible effects of climate change, from extreme heat waves to devastating natural disasters. However, experts say we still have time to act —a critical window of opportunity in which we must reduce carbon emissions to avoid the worst scenarios that loom on the horizon. To make this change, we’ll need creative solutions of every scale and in every sector. Many of the problems we currently face are deeply—and increasingly—interconnected, whether we are talking about biodiversity loss in the Amazon, plastic waste in Kenya or the housing crisis in the Netherlands. It follows then, that the best solutions are too. That is why this year – as the planet enters an era of global ‘boiling’ – WDCD is throwing the door wide open and launching its most expansive challenge yet. “Redesigning everything is first and foremost a call to action,” Richard van der Laken, co-founder and creative director of What Design Can Do, expressed. “It’s also an invitation to think laterally about how our world should be redesigned, in ways both big and small. Now, more than ever, there is an urgent need for inclusive and circular solutions, and for the transformative and disruptive power of design.” Design as a Catalyst for a Circular Society “In the face of our planet's greatest challenges, design emerges as a powerful catalyst for change", says Liz McKeon, Head of Planet at the IKEA Foundation. "The What Design Can Do design challenges that we supported have ignited innovative, design-focused solutions led by the creative community themselves, in addressing issues such as climate change, health, well-being, and social equity all around the world. This demonstrates that designers can become the architects of solutions, building a bridge between imagination and impactful change, and have the transformative ability to shape transformation towards a sustainable future." Tackling the climate crisis means changing how our economy works (and how it doesn’t). No sector can do this alone — but designers can make an impact by shifting from linear to circular ways of making, using and living. Next to this, the most important role of design is that of radical imagination: seeing what does not yet exist, making ideas real, and forging ahead with optimism. That is why for this competition, WDCD are looking for creative climate solutions that cut across various sectors and disciplines. This includes new ideas and existing enterprises for how we might reduce the overall impact of our industries: from food, fashion and packaging, to mobility, electronics, digital services and construction.HOW TO APPLY Participants are invited to submit their project online from 17 January 2024 to 13 March 2024 via the Challenge website: redesigneverything.whatdesigncando.com The Redesign Everything Challenge seeks creative climate solutions across five main disciplines: products, materials, communications, spaces, and systems & services. In April 2024, a jury of leading experts in design, social impact and climate action will select a minimum of 10 winners. Winning ideas are awarded €5.000 in funding and a global development programme, which includes online training, mentoring sessions and a bootcamp. This programme will support the winning teams in further strengthening their projects and propelling them through 2024 and beyond. As part of the WDCD Challenge network, winners will have the opportunity to appear in global publications and opportunities to speak at WDCD events.

The Davidson Prize 2024

archiecho — Wed, 17 Jan 2024 21:00:50 +0100

Registration Deadline: Feb 1, 2024; Submission Deadline: Feb 29, 2024 In 2024 The Davidson Prize is calling for inventive solutions to address the housing shortage in the context of climate change. The theme of this year’s £25,000 Davidson Prize is Rethinking Home – Adapt and Reuse. The brief is asking multidisciplinary collaborative teams to consider how exciting and different new homes can be created from recycling, retrofitting or ‘mining’ existing structures and/or waste building materials. Established in 2020, The Davidson Prize is a design ideas competition that exists to promote compelling design and visual communication around the theme of home. The competition is open to creative teams that include an architect registered with ARB (UK) or RIAI (Ireland).The urgent imperatives of climate change and housing shortage are demanding an ambitious rethink of what an ideal home might be. In 2023 the Centre for Cities calculated that in Britain alone the backlog of homes stands at 4.3 million – that’s equivalent to 14 medium-sized cities. But at the same time networks such as the UK Green Building Council are pointing out that approximately 80 per cent of the buildings that will be operating in 2050 have already been built.It's clear that to achieve net zero while bridging the gap between housing demand and supply, the adaptive reuse of existing structures will be an important part of the solution. But what will the adapted and recycled ideal homes of tomorrow look and feel like? And how will emerging bio-based materials affect the design and spaces of our living environments and neighbourhoods?Creative teams are being asked to choose any existing non-residential structure/s in the UK or Ireland – from a disused farm building to a high street, an office block to an oil rig – to explore how it could be upcycled, retrofitted and/or mined to provide exemplary sustainable housing for a minimum of five homes. With the housing shortage disproportionately affecting ‘generation rent’ – the eco-conscious Gen Z and Millennials priced out of the housing market – the 2024 Davidson Prize is asking teams to engage particularly with the housing ideals of people in their early 20s to early 40s.The Alan Davidson Foundation is delighted to announce that architect and urban designer Amandeep Singh Kalra (Associate Director of Be First) will be chairing this year’s judging panel. Amandeep will be joined by architects Annalie Riches (Co-founder of Mikhail Riches) and Alexander Turner (Co-Founder of Studio MUTT), representing the winning team of the 2023 Davidson Prize. The jury is completed by engineer Duncan Campbell (Director at Atelier Ten), journalist Alice Finney (Design Director at Elle Decoration UK) and business management and marketing consultant Miles Mitchell (Commercial Lead for Total Synergy).The 2024 Davidson Prize is sponsored by Total Synergy, a global leader in business management software and solutions for Architecture, Engineering and Construction design (AEC) businesses.Marie Chamillard, Director of the Alan Davidson Foundation, said: “Alan was always looking to the future, and he was true believer in the power of design to make the world a better place. He would have loved the idea of trailblazing with new design ideas to redefine the next generation of sustainable homes.”Amandeep Singh Kalra, Chair of the 2024 Davidson Prize jury, said: “As 80% of the homes that are going to be here in 2050 already exist, retrofitting our existing building stock is fundamentally essential. Whilst there are several successful residential retrofit projects, there is still a long way to go in how we creatively transform non-residential structures to meet both housing demands and environmental targets. This year’s brief presents an exciting opportunity for teams to think outside of the box within existing structures and create a proposal that has the potential to influence the future home in a building already present.”Daniel Cran, Chief Operating Officer, Total Synergy, said: “We are thrilled to have partnered with The Davidson Prize 2024. Our 23 year history in is aligned well with supporting innovation and design in the Architecture industry and we look forward to cementing relationships and sharing software services and intelligence that support innovation to the United Kingdom industry. Miles Mitchell, our Commercial Lead UK, is excited to join the judging panel of this prestigious award and align with industry leaders on innovation and design”.The full brief for the 2024 prize can be found on The Davidson Prize website.Read the full post on Bustler

Kaira Looro 2024 & Maternity Centre

archiecho — Sat, 06 Jan 2024 01:34:48 +0100

Registration Deadline: May 14, 2024; Submission Deadline: Jun 11, 2024 The objective of this competition is to select an architectural design for a Maternity Centre in Sub-Saharan Africa,, offering healthcare throughout pregnancy. Organizers are looking for an innovative model – an emblematic, cosy and professional place where every woman can feel safe. The building must be designed as a humanitarian operation and for self-construction, i.e., without qualified personnel or construction companies, with the direct participation of the local community, without the use of heavy vehicles, and with sustainable technologies and local materials.Pregnancy and giving birth constitute a crucial challenge in the lives of women in Sub-Saharan Africa. Every year, more than 200,000 women lose their lives due to a lack of basic care. Taking so many lives and resulting in more than 1 million orphans each year, this issue is often the result of complications that could be prevented or treated with access to basic medical care. In Africa, one in 16 women risks dying giving birth to a new life, while in other parts of the world, thanks to prenatal care and specialised assistance during childbirth, this risk affects one in 35,000 womenJuryKengo Kuma (KKAA), Benedetta Tagliabue (Benedetta Tagliabue – EMBT Architects), Agostino Ghirardelli (SBGA | Blengini Ghirardelli), Mario Cucinella (Mario Cucinella Architects), Urko Sanchez (Urko Sanchez Architects), Raul Pantaleo (TAM Associati), Tosin Oshinowo (Oshinowo Studio), Emmanuelle Moureaux (Emmanuelle Moureaux Architecture + Design), Saad El Kabbaj, Driss Kettani e Mohamed Amine SianaAward1st Prize: 5.000€ + Construction + Internship at Kengo Kuma2nd Prize: 2.000€ + Internship at EMBT Architects3nd Prize: 1.000€ + Internship at SBGA Blengini Ghirardelli2 Honourable Mentions 100€5 Special Mentions 20 Finalists20 Top 50The projectThe project must include at least the following areas, which may be developed in one or more structures according to the architect’s vision:Reception area and waiting room: A welcoming space for patients and their relatives.

Curtain Wall Design for Longevity

archiecho — Fri, 05 Jan 2024 21:34:53 +0100

Registration Deadline: Mar 13, 2024; Submission Deadline: Mar 13, 2024 Metals in Construction 2024 Design ChallengeCurtain Wall Design for LongevityThe tenth annual iteration of this international ideas competition continues the tradition of calling for design strategies to help shape the welfare of our citizens and cities through the built environment. This year, the challenge focuses on the design of a curtain wall constructed with the highest possible efficiency properties, serviceability characteristics, and recyclability of constituent parts.Your challenge: Design a curtain wall façade system as defined herein for a mixed-use building located at 1710 Broadway in Midtown Manhattan. The curtain wall system design should embrace a planned service life of at least 75 years—service life will be a primary design evaluation criterion. Design of the curtain wall should focus on an optimal balance of resilience and sustainability attributes, including but not limited to the following: lifecycle operational and embodied carbon performance, service life, serviceability (maintainability/repairability) characteristics, end-of-life disassembly, and reuse and/or recyclability of constituent parts. The consideration of system adaptability—its adaptive capacity—in response to rapidly changing climatic and social conditions over the defined service life of your design is also relevant. Along with these criteria, transparency and overall aesthetic characteristics must be given substantial consideration in your design.Modeling and data: The system’s operational and embodied lifecycle carbon emissions should be clearly accounted for and displayed, accompanied by a description of the methodology used in their calculation. (Note the comment on the time-value of carbon below.) You are welcome to submit supporting data beyond that included in your proposal (as defined below), but this is not a requirement.Building context: For the purpose of this competition, the proposal is for the vertical extension of the existing six-story, 104-year-old structure located at 1710 Broadway, at the southeast corner of West 54th Street, in New York. The redesign should be at least 50 stories in height and suitable for a mix of residential and commercial uses. Assume that the load-bearing capacity of the building site and existing podium are sufficient to accommodate an exclusively steel-framed structure.Lifecycle thinking: Lifecycle performance will be the context for evaluation of your design. Entrants should focus on designing the most carbon-efficient curtain wall possible, including both embodied and operational carbon emissions modeled over the full building lifecycle, explicitly defining the lifecycle carbon footprint of your curtain wall solution. Modeling of the steel structure and interior program is not required for the purposes of this competition.Curtain wall system performance declines over time. In addition to an initial level of performance for your curtain wall design, define a rate of performance-decline over time, as well as a minimum level of performance at which point some form of rehabilitation will be required. Clearly indicate the plan for any system maintenance and renewal required during the service life you’ve specified for your curtain wall system design, as required to maintain the minimal level of performance you’ve defined. Account for any additional embodied carbon, as well as operational carbon improvements, associated with these activities over the full building lifecycle. Entrants should also document resilience considerations, if any, incorporated in their design to mitigate the potential impact and cost of storm damage, power outage, flooding, etc.Other considerations: In addition to insulating the building, the curtain wall’s large surface area may also be activated to beneficial effect, such as through harvesting solar and wind energy. If such capability is included in your design, the net carbon impact must be explicit. The time-value of carbon should drive these considerations, meaning near-term carbon emission reductions should be prioritized over lifecycle carbon footprint, or otherwise justified (i.e., by providing other resilience or sustainability benefits that justify the increase in carbon emissions).Scalable solutions with the potential for broader adoption in the urban environment will receive some preference in the final evaluation, but innovative and novel concepts are also valued.Prize: A $15,000 grand prize will be awarded to the design deemed by the jury to be the most innovative and aesthetically appealing while meeting the above goals.Deadline for submission: 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday, March 13, 2024.Submission process:The submission process is composed of two parts:Proposal Visualization – Up to 10 pages may be submitted to represent the proposal.

2024 Timber in the City, Student Competition

archiecho — Fri, 29 Dec 2023 18:17:49 +0100

Registration Deadline: Apr 10, 2024; Submission Deadline: Jun 5, 2024 The Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA) is pleased to announce TIMBER IN THE CITY 5: Urban Habitats Competition for the 2023-2024 academic year. The program is intended to challenge students, working individually or in teams, to reimagine the boundaries of wood construction in the urban environment, leading to the transformation of our existing cities through constructing sustainable buildings made from renewable resources, offering expedient affordable construction, innovating with new and traditional wood materials, and designing healthy living and working environments. This is the fifth competition in the TIMBER IN THE CITY series, and this year provides an opportunity to meet urban housing needs through the addition of an overbuild, or vertical extension, made of wood to an existing building or structure. Mass timber’s light weight makes it a natural choice for overbuild designs. In addition to helping maintain a building’s original architecture or design, wood’s light construction footprint may allow tenants to remain in an existing building during construction, as opposed to forcing tenants out while the existing structure is reinforced.https://www.acsa-arch.org/competitions/2024-timber-competition/Read the full post on Bustler

Registration Deadline: Feb 4, 2024; Submission Deadline: Feb 4, 2024 The Harvard University Graduate School of Design (GSD) is pleased to announce the 2024 cycle of the Wheelwright Prize, an open international competition that awards 100,000 USD to a talented early-career architect to support new forms of architectural research. The 2024 Wheelwright Prize is now accepting applications. The deadline for submissions is Sunday, February 4, 2024.The annual Wheelwright Prize is dedicated to fostering expansive, intensive design research that shows potential to make a significant impact on architectural discourse. The prize is open to emerging architects practicing anywhere in the world. The primary eligibility requirement is that applicants must have received a degree from a professionally accredited architecture program in the past 15 years. An affiliation with the GSD is not required. Applicants are asked to submit a portfolio and research proposal that includes travel outside the applicant’s home country. In preparing a portfolio, applicants are encouraged to consider the various formats through which architectural research and practice can be expressed, including but not limited to built work, curatorial practice, and written output.The winning architect is expected to dedicate roughly two years of concentrated research related to their proposal, and to present a lecture on their findings at the conclusion of that research. Throughout the research process, Wheelwright Prize jury members and other GSD faculty are committed to providing regular guidance and peer feedback, in support of the project’s overall growth and development.In 2013, the GSD recast the Arthur W. Wheelwright Traveling Fellowship—established in 1935 in memory of Wheelwright, Class of 1887—into its current form. Intended to encourage the study of architecture outside the United States at a time when international travel was difficult, the Fellowship was available only to GSD alumni. Past fellows have included Paul Rudolph, Eliot Noyes, William Wurster, Christopher Tunnard, I. M. Pei, Farès el-Dahdah, Adele Santos, and Linda Pollak.The GSD awarded the 2023 Wheelwright Prize to Jingru (Cyan) Cheng for her proposal, Tracing Sand: Phantom Territories, Bodies Adrift. Cheng’s research focuses on the economic, cultural, and ecological impacts of sand mining and land reclamation, and her project assesses the fundamental role of these processes in the built environment and human communities.An international jury for the 2024 Wheelwright Prize will be announced in January 2024 via Harvard GSD’s website. Applicants will be judged on the quality of their design work, scholarly accomplishments, originality and persuasiveness of the research proposal, evidence of ability to fulfill the proposed project, and potential for the proposed project to make important and direct contributions to architectural discourse.Apply hereRead the full post on Bustler

Decoding Density

archiecho — Fri, 15 Dec 2023 03:00:57 +0100

Registration Deadline: Jan 19, 2024; Submission Deadline: Apr 3, 2024 Missing Middle and Mixing Middle housing forms, the subjects of Urbanarium’s previous ideas competitions, are becoming mainstream policies. Urbanarium’s next competition again explores missing middle housing, this time at the high end of that density range. Decoding Density is an international invitation to imagine new possibilities for six- storey plus apartment forms by addressing two of the most existential problems of today: climate change and housing affordability. Submissions will challenge the constraints of code and other regulations to do so. The six-storey wood frame apartment building is becoming a standard for municipalities in the Metro Vancouver region for increasing density. And yet, designers exploring these apartment forms find that code and other regulations, combined with financial factors, generate boxes that are not affordable, do not address climate change, and struggle to offer outdoor space, light, and cultural, communal and family-orientated features.Read the full post on Bustler

Call for Submissions for MONU Magazine #37 & Conflict&driven Urbanism

archiecho — Wed, 13 Dec 2023 00:51:45 +0100

Registration Deadline: Mar 31, 2024; Submission Deadline: Mar 31, 2024 When recently we initiated a debate on the consequences of the coronavirus pandemic on cities that led to MONU's issue #33, we had the hope that the crisis would make people and governments cooperate more strongly with each other and thus enable them to tackle major problems of all sorts making our cities more habitable and affordable than ever. That expectation was supported by the fact that city governments were very capable, when they wanted to, to swiftly establish new policies, like the ones for the lockdowns during the pandemic, revealing an effectiveness and power that one would usually not expect, which convinced us that they could do much more than they actually do.However, retrospectively it becomes ever clearer that the pandemic, due to its power to reveal the massive economic and social inequities in our cities, triggered first of all an enormous number of conflicts culminating in mass protests in cities around the world, as we demonstrated in MONU #34. But today we know that this was just the start of our troubles and "you'll see your problems multiplied" as Depeche Mode once sang in the "Policy of Truth".According to the United Nations we have just entered a new era of conflict. Conflicts are on the rise, with many conflicts today waged between non-state actors such as political militias, and criminal and international terrorist groups. Unresolved regional tensions, a breakdown in the rule of law, absent or co-opted state institutions, illicit economic gain, and the scarcity of resources exacerbated by climate change, have become dominant drivers of conflict. Separately, technological advances have raised concerns about lethal autonomous weapons and cyberattacks, the weaponization of bots and drones, and the livestreaming of extremist attacks. There has also been a rise in criminal activity involving data hacks and ransomware.The conflict with the biggest impact on cities is probably the armed one, i.e. war. Currently, there are more than 50 ongoing armed conflicts that are taking place around the world, including major wars, minor conflicts, skirmishes and clashes. Some of the current major wars are the Myanmar civil war, the Israel-Hamas war, the Mexican drug war, the War in Sudan, and the Russo-Ukrainian War. And although there is no clear link between the pandemic and the rising number of conflicts in the world, especially armed conflicts, one must see the irony in the fact that Russia seemed to have waited exactly "forty days" - and thus a period of a "quarantine" - to invade Ukraine on February 24, 2022 after the last lockdown in the world ended on January 14, 2022 in the Netherlands (leaving aside for a moment the lockdowns in China and North Korea).Thus, with this new issue of MONU on "Conflict-driven Urbanism" we aim to investigate how conflicts in the past have formed, currently shape, and in future will influence cities and buildings, whether these conflicts are armed or unarmed conflicts. Therefore, we are interested in how conflicts "drive" urbanism, both in a positive and a negative way, as struggles and clashes of interests, opinions, or principles, no matter whether they are based on personal, political, or international motivations. And we want to include all possible types of conflicts into the discussion on "Conflict-driven Urbanism" as processes that are manifested in incompatibility, disagreement or dissonance within or between social entities, either triggered by superiority, injustice, vulnerability, distrust, or helplessness.Certain articles in some of our past issues touched on the topic of "Conflict-driven Urbanism" briefly. In MONU #24 we proposed that the battlefields of the future will probably not be found in the open deserts or jungles of conflicts past, but will infiltrate the very fabric of the city itself - a fabric mostly composed of homes, not headquarters. This is becoming evident as a growing number of military training sites in the US and abroad are simulating domestic environments of cities around the world. The city of Jerusalem has been, as long as it has existed, the cause and breeding ground of conflicts, as well as the target and site of dispute and war, as we pointed out in one of our very first issues MONU #5, stressing how fundamental urban planning tools can be in conflicts.The fact that Jerusalem can be both victim and weapon suggests that not only conflicts impact cities and buildings, but that the design of them can create conflicts too, an aspect that we would like to address with this new issue as well. Other questions that intrigue us are: which types of conflicts influence our urban realm most - the interstate conflict, the intragroup conflict, the interpersonal conflict, or some other type of conflict? How forceful are conflicts of interest, cultural conflicts, ethnic conflicts, organizational conflicts, social or political conflicts when it comes to "Conflict-driven

Advanced Architecture Contest & AI for the built environment

archiecho — Mon, 20 Nov 2023 21:17:57 +0100

Registration Deadline: Feb 2, 2024; Submission Deadline: Feb 2, 2024 Summary The 10th edition of the Advanced Architecture Contest, organized by the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC), invites architects, designers, and innovators to explore the transformative potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for the built environment. This competition aims to inspire participants to envision novel applications of AI mixed with non-AI tools that can shape the future of architecture, urban planning, and design. The design disciplines have undergone a remarkable evolution, shifting from using materials to data as the fundamental building blocks of architecture and cities. This evolution can be traced through the digital revolution experienced in the last three decades. The 90s marked the creation of the internet, connecting people and information globally. The 00s witnessed the development of major platforms, facilitating online interactions and services, while the 10s experienced the proliferation of apps and programs revolutionizing user experiences and access to information. As we enter this new decade, content creation takes center stage, with AI playing a significant role in generating, analyzing, and optimizing content across various domains. This evolution is closely correlated with the development of digital design paradigms. In the 90s, technical experts drove most digital developments, primarily relying on text-based interactions. The 00s brought basic graphics, enabling more visual representations, and the 10s saw the rise of User Experience (UX) and User Interface (UI) design, enhancing usability and aesthetics through bidimensional interfaces. Looking ahead, this decade will witness the emergence of 3D UX and UI development, leveraging AI’s capabilities to create immersive and interactive environments that blur the boundaries between physical and digital realms. Competition Objective Participants are challenged to envision innovative design solutions that harness the potential of AI in the built environment using both AI and non-AI tools. Proposals should investigate how advanced technology tools can offer fresh perspectives on the built environment. These imaginaries can range from critical speculation to forward-thinking projections. The designs should directly engage with one of the topics proposed and respond providing design interventions across a wide range of scales.Read moreRead the full post on Bustler

2024 Edmund N. Bacon Student Urban Design Competition

archiecho — Thu, 16 Nov 2023 02:34:53 +0100

Registration Deadline: Jan 30, 2024; Submission Deadline: Jan 30, 2024 Philadelphia's 7th Ward, which was once the heart of Black Philadelphia, was a historically significant African-American community in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This area stood as a significant community, flourishing with thriving businesses, schools, and churches, and serving as a vibrant cultural epicenter and a catalyst for political activism. Notable landmarks and influential figures found their homes within this area, embodying the ward's deep-rooted contributions to community development. However, the 7th Ward's vibrancy was disrupted by areas of concentrated poverty, coordinated disenfranchisement, discriminatory housing and planning policies, disinvestment, declining economic opportunities, and other opportunities outside of the crowded 7th Ward. These challenges have resulted in contemporary conditions that are fueling conversations about gentrification, discriminatory zoning, displacement, and the erasure of the ward's rich historical past.To honor and reclaim the history and cultural contributions of the 7th Ward, we invite you to envision a development that transcends the constraints and obstacles imposed by discriminatory economic, racial, planning strategies, and policies. Your task is to imagine a community that thrives based on its deep-rooted heritage, fostering sustained generational wealth, implementing infrastructure that supports both economic and cultural prosperity, and creating spatial planning that fosters self-reliance and a strong sense of community.As you look to explore and develop imagined solutions, we challenge you to infuse innovative ideas and creative strategies that reflect the community's cultural significance into the fabric of the built environment. Emphasizing inclusivity and sustainability, your designs should serve as inspiring examples of how similar approaches can be applied in other communities to prevent deterioration and preserve their heritage spearheading a visionary approach to community development.DetailsRead the full post on Bustler

The Home of Shadows / Edition #2

archiecho — Tue, 14 Nov 2023 12:00:54 +0100

Registration Deadline: Dec 13, 2023; Submission Deadline: Jun 4, 2024 Buildner presents the second edition of the Home of Shadows architecture competition. This event once again highlights the crucial interplay between light and shadow in creating functional and inviting living spaces. Natural light is not just a vital aspect in home design for its practicality, but it also transforms spaces into welcoming and comfortable havens. It enables architects to infuse emotion and ambiance into their designs, giving life to structures beyond their physical form. Similarly, shadows are not to be overlooked. They are essential in adding depth, texture, and mood to spaces. The strategic placement of architectural elements like windows or doors can dramatically affect how light and shadow interact, shaping the overall atmosphere of a home. The second edition of the Home of Shadows competition maintains its unique challenge. Participants are invited to design a home for a fictional couple, with a special condition - the total elimination of artificial light. Every submitted design is expected to demonstrate a deep understanding of how natural light influences architectural choices, and how it can be harnessed to create fully functional and aesthetically pleasing living environments. Contestants are free to choose any imaginary location for their design projects, offering a diverse backdrop for the exploration of light and shadow. Buildner looks forward to receiving innovative entries that showcase a harmonious blend of technical skill and creative insight, illuminating the endless possibilities that lie within the dance of light and shadow in architectural design. PRIZES 3 winning proposals, 2 special award recipients and 6 honourable mentions will be selected. Buildner (formerly Bee Breeders) will award a total of 7,000 € in prize money to competition winners as follows: 1st Prize - 3,000 € 2nd Prize - 1,500 € 3rd Prize - 1,000 € + 6 honourable mentions Buildner Student Award - 1000 € Buildner Sustainability Award - 500 € COMPETITION SCHEDULE Early Bird Registration: 30 October – 13 December Advance Registration: 14 December – 29 February Last Minute Registration: 1 March – 2 May Final registration deadline: May 2, 2024 Closing date for submission: June 4, 2024 (LONDON TIME) Announcement of the winners: July 15, 2024 More: https://architecturecompetitio...Read the full post on Bustler

This time we challenge all designers to imagine and design a future use for this architectural form, which has historically symbolized surveillance and societal introspection. Being the main topic about well-being, designers are free to decide if they want to focus their proposal exclusively on external design or on the internal design of the structure. Presented concepts are free to explore in a critical way the different interpretations of such topics, from practical approaches to more dystopian/utopian scenarios.LINKRead the full post on Bustler

Registration Deadline: Nov 13, 2023; Submission Deadline: Nov 13, 2023 HIGH-RISE BUILDING AT TARTU mnt 17, TALLINN: ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN CONTESTAn architectural design competition has started for the development of a new high-rise building in the centre of TallinnReal estate developer Elon OÜ has announced an international architectural design competition to find the best solution for a high-rise residential building to appear at the very heart of Tallinn on Tartu mnt 17.The competition area is located in the Maakri high-rise building district in Tallinn. Currently, the site and the area around it are cut off from the city centre and, in fact, turned into an isolated place where people have no direct reason to come. The solution sought in the competition should bring here permanent residents, as well as the life and light worthy of the heart of the city.The competition aims to find a modern architectural solution that will adorn the centre of Tallinn and will also be cutting-edge in terms of materials and construction technologies. The new multifunctional building is expected to enrich the capital’s public space and improve the quality of life throughout the Maakri area. Most of the building will have apartments, and in addition, it will also have commercial premises and public areas – for example, a cafe or a restaurant, an art gallery, and an observation deck.“The city is waiting primarily for a new type of high-rise building, something that the current austere and even cold-looking high-risers have not brought to Tallinn,” said Jaak-Adam Looveer, an architect and city planner at the Tallinn Strategic Planning Service, and a member of the jury. One of the goals of the competition is to improve the quality of street space in the entire area of the planned building – it should become more human-friendly and green. For example, the section of Tartu Road bordering the competition area is now outdated, the urban space here has become empty and has lost its attractiveness.The competition is to take place in two stages. In the open round of the competition, architectural bureaus present portfolios of work they have completed. Based on these portfolios, 4–6 bureaus will be selected, each of which can then offer its own solution for a multifunctional and environmentally friendly high-rise building.The portfolio will be assessed, and the winner of the competition will be selected by a jury consisting of members of the Union of Estonian Architects Ülar Mark, Risto Parve and Siiri Vallner, architect Jaak-Adam Looveer representing the Tallinn Strategic Planning Service, as well as three representatives of the developer.Each bureau selected in the portfolio round that submits a concept solution within the set deadline will receive a payment of 12,000 euros.

Registration Deadline: Dec 31, 2023; Submission Deadline: Dec 31, 2023 A HOUSE FOR HOMO SAPIENS Sapiens, indeed… wise, indeed… discerning, indeed. NONSENSE. Human beings never learn. The beast within is real and from time to time it erupts. At this very moment two deadly wars. At this very moment, as if one was not enough. To say that it is sad it is to say very little. Who cares ? We keep killing each other, under a dark, dark sky. And the sky is dark because of us. The smoke of “progress” and “enlightenment.” So how would we design A House for Homo Sapiens ? How would this house properly represent the infinite wisdom of the humans ? Would it have installed, at each window, automatic rifles ? Would it be covered in gold ? How would it be ? What are our values, what do we value in life ? Property. TO HAVE. Forget Doing and Being. The important thing is TO HAVE. The more, the better. Things, land, the sky itself. EVERYTHING. And if we don’t, we start to kill, as wisdom requires us to do. TO KILL. Without blinking. Maybe even laughingly. Imagine one killing while laughing. What could be more horrid ? Yes, it is possible it happens. The enlightened “human being,” HOMO SAPIENS. The shepherd of existence. The one and only. Homo Sapiens. Please design the most appropriate house for this culmination of evolution. Please send us ANY work, ANY size and ANY format that responds to the theme. Please send it digitally to info@icarch.us by December 31st. If you have any questions please contact us. We will publish all the works received.

Festival des Architectures Vives 2024

archiecho — Mon, 16 Oct 2023 20:51:48 +0200

Registration Deadline: Dec 4, 2023; Submission Deadline: Dec 4, 2023 On the occasion of the 18th Festival des Architectures Vives, the Champ Libre association is launching an open call to create 1 of the 10 interventions of the Festival in Montpellier.The Festival takes place in the heart of the city of Montpellier, in the Ecusson, and more specifically in courtyards of certain mansions, thus offering a visitors a sort of architectural discovery route.One one hand, the objective of FAV Montpellier is to open these emblematic places to visitors during the festival, and on the other hand, thanks to the intervention of teams of architects who will present a specific work in each place, to reveal an intimate relationship between contemporary architecture, an installation, and a heritage site.Theme: Rhythm2024, the Olympic year in Paris, is an opportunity to re-examine the relationship that architecture has with the body, performance, discipline, and the movements and structures resulting from it. Sport has long been closely linked to the arts and literature. The theorization of this relationship dates back to antiquity and was perpetuated by Pierre de Coubertin during a revamping of the Olympic Games, who wanted to prolong the thought of the Greek philosophers according to which the body and the mind are inseparable. For example, until the mid-20th century, artists could claim the title of Olympic champion in five categories: architecture, literature, music, painting, and sculpture.In various forms, the movement has traversed the pictorial arts over time; from the paintings of Chauvet’s cave, through the Baroque, Futurist, Impressionist, and Action Painting eras, to the kinetic art of artist Daniel Spoerri, giving the illusion that everything moves, while nothing moves.Closer to home, Bernard Tschumi affirms that "there is no architecture without movement in space”, affirming what he has extensively and previously experienced through the “notations” in which he highlights, by means of diagrams and other photograms, the complex relationship between space, time, movement, and event. However, for Tschumi, the movement is that of the protagonists moving in a space. The deepening of this notion of kinematics will surely allow us to grasp movement in architecture, which is by nature static.By accurately visualizing the decomposition and variation of the athletes' movements, the chronophotography of Etienne-Jules Marey, and then of Eadweard Muybridge, made it possible to understand their functioning. This technique combines discontinuities in flow between scientific accuracy and poetic and aesthetic reverie, giving the illusion of movement.Composed of a succession of more or less long sequences that follow each other at a particular cadence, each movement, thanks to its singular variations, has its own unique rhythm. For musician John Cage, "Rhythm is a fundamental matter; it is the structure of time." More generally, rhythm is perhaps that cadence which certainly animates the movement, structures the time, and composes the space.In this case, FAV allows us to explore the ability of these new vibrant architectures through their own compositions and rhythms, and to resonate with the space and envelope of the courtyards that welcome them, each of which has its own particular arrangement. It will also be an opportunity to experiment with how the ways in which one travels establishes a dialogue with the visitor, and constitutes a “vector” of architecture, such as a dynamic giving the opportunity to create an event.Malek DAHBI, Architect, Senior Lecturer Method of selectionThe consultation is open to young architects and landscape architects. The aim is to promote young architectural creation.

Gregorio, Via dei Cerchi, Via di S. Teodoro and the ascents to the Capitol (Via di Monte Tarpeo, Via di San Pietro in Carcere) and the access branch from Via Cavour;the definition of vegetal furniture solutions to be used as an element capable of bringing together the different characteristics of the intervention spaces.https://npa.competitionarchitecturenetwork.it/?lang=enRead the full post on Bustler

Registration Deadline: Jan 17, 2024; Submission Deadline: Jan 17, 2024 The thermal bath of Acconia di Curinga are supposed to be private baths, as part of a villa built during the Imperial era. Now it occupies an area of about 1.000 square meters, but its complete shape and extension are still unknown, as well as the function of some of its spaces. Anyway, the main areas that characterized the baths are still clear and visible: there was a frigidarium, two calidaria and two tepidaria. Even if many structures have fallen during the centuries, the baths still demonstrate the remarkable architectural and engineering skills of the ancient Romans. The seventh edition of the cultural project Reuse Italy promotes an international architecture competition on the protection of the Roman Thermal Bath of Acconia in Curinga (CZ). The competition, open to architects, engineers, and students, asks the participants to conceive the Thermae as an archeological site, to protect it and make it open and visible to visitors.

Tiny House 2023 Architecture Competition

archiecho — Wed, 04 Oct 2023 19:34:52 +0200

Registration Deadline: Jan 14, 2024; Submission Deadline: Jan 20, 2024 Volume Zero invites each one of you to participate in the 22nd edition of our architectural competitions and the 4th edition of the Tiny House Architecture Competition. This year’s Tiny House aims to celebrate individuality, reimagine sustainability, and to exalt simple, innovative yet resourceful living. The Tiny House Movement is also a platform that not only explores the avenues of ‘mobile’ or ‘Off the Grid’ Living spaces but also the freedom and independence they would offer. Come be a part of this movement; join a new wave of habitat designers! A Home is a space that is intimate to all of us. It goes beyond the everyday function of being a physical shelter for people and their activities; a home connects with its users at a personal and emotional level. Our humble abodes are being redefined with every passing day. The world is changing constantly, and along with it, our homes are seeing us spend more time within them. The built form of a home is evolving rapidly, its design adapting to various other needs that were not limited to this space before. Homes today are versatile entities – doubling up as offices, play areas, work-out zones, spaces for interaction, and recreation, and also being an abode for our furry friends and providing for their needs. A space that is transformative, multi-functional, and ever-evolving to adapt to us and our loved ones. A Home is no longer just a place you live in but is a place that lives with you. Less House, More Home! OPPORTUNITY: Our world is changing at a pace unheard of ever before with events unfolding across the globe and the Human race witnessing advancements across all arenas of life. As our needs are evolving, so are the house designs. Designing outside of the box has become increasingly important as the focus is shifting to climatic responsibility, decreasing land availability and economic feasibility. It is inevitable today to utilize space efficiently and effectively that not only fulfills our needs and anticipates our desires but also moves the world towards sustainability. With the environmental and financial setbacks that we face today coupled with the effects of the pandemic and other factors in recent years, the desire to have more freedom has led people to follow simpler and efficient ways of living. In addition to shelter, a home must serve as an office, a full-time kitchen, an entertainment area, and a place for peace. Having one home act in all these roles is a challenge that designers have to cater to for a variety of spatial experiences. It is time to put our creative and innovative devices to use and to craft a very intimate, providing, and nurturing experience- A Home! The Tiny House Movement, once again, celebrates the concept of simple yet resourceful living. The homes can be designed to re-imagine sustainability through the concept of maximum usable space in a minimum footprint. Living Small, Yet Living It All! To Know More about the competition visit: https://bit.ly/3ZGNV6k CHALLENGE: Participants are to design a Tiny House for 2 people that would provide a comfortable living space. The design of the Tiny House should be innovative and creative with a sustainable edge. The area of the proposed Tiny House should not exceed 300 sq. ft., where mobility is a vital factor. The house need not have the ability to transfer itself from place to place; it could be treated as a unit or an assembly of units that can be towed/moved easily by a car or a pickup truck. However, the participants can avoid the issue of mobility altogether by choosing a permanent site and providing a strong justification for the same. The relation between the exterior surroundings and the interior spaces must be taken into consideration in cases of both fixed and changeable sites. The proposed design should be well-conceptualized and is required to be off the grid as much as possible. The Interior Spaces should include the following: • Living Area • Toilet space • Sleeping Area for 2 • Workspace • Cooking and Dining Area • Recreational spaces • Any other function that the participant wishes to add to the habitat Client Interaction is one of the most critical components of the design proposal. For the purpose of this competition, participants may assume their client to be an individual, a couple, two separate individuals, or multiple genres of individuals based on the design concept. Keep in mind that a good designer would anticipate not just the needs of the users but also the needs of the future of the users. SITE: The participants can choose a site according to their design proposals. The location can be either an urban or a rural area anywhere across the world. The design should be integrated well with the selected site and the selected site must strongly justify the design proposal.

Call for Proposals | 25th International Garden Festival: The Ecology of Possibility

archiecho — Wed, 27 Sep 2023 20:00:54 +0200

Registration Deadline: Nov 20, 2023; Submission Deadline: Nov 20, 2023 The International Garden Festival is launching a call for proposals to select designers to create the new temporary gardens for the Festival’s 25th edition, which will open on June 21, 2024 on the site of Les Jardins de Métis | Reford Gardens.2024 Theme – The ecology of possibilityCelebrations are in order: in 2024, the International Garden Festival will turn 25! While it is certainly something to celebrate, hitting this milestone is also an invitation to reflect on our journey thus far, and to look to the future.So, what was the premise for the Festival, with the first edition held at the turn of the millennium? What issues and themes have been addressed since then? How have our concerns and ideologies evolved? And what kind of future do we envision for the gardens?Established in the year 2000, the International Garden Festival has always been heavily committed to the exploration and renewal of the art of the garden. The inaugural edition showcased eight original creations that placed the nature-culture dialectic at the forefront.Although the Festival still considers the hows and the whys of the contemporary garden, the concepts addressed, and the perspectives employed, have changed. Over the past 25 years, our theoretical outlook on various issues has shifted, our critical vocabulary has diversified, and now, more than ever, we feel the urgency to act in the face of accelerating climate change. The basic dichotomy of nature versus culture now seems antiquated, with contemporary anthropology having demonstrated that humankind’s understanding of the natural universe falls within a relational dynamic. Following this rationale, the concepts of nature and culture cannot be compared, as the former is invariably perceived through the latter.It seems to us that the garden today (be it private or public) has a social responsibility. Sustainable, it preserves and supports biodiversity. Plants are rigorously selected after considering the specific needs and behaviours of each species and how they interact. The characteristics of the site to be developed and their evolution over the seasons are also carefully studied.In light of these ideologies and present circumstances, is the future of the garden a united one? Is it based on a relational, cross-disciplinary approach?We’d like to wager that the future of the garden will be forged from genuine dialogue with the living.Candidate eligibilityThe Festival encourages participants to form multidisciplinary teams, and the call for proposals is open to all landscape architects, architects, visual artists, and teams from Canada and abroad. Applicants are limited to one proposal, either as individuals or as a team. Participants can be from a single city or country, or from across international boundaries.Designers are invited to design a garden that can take place in one or other of the axes of the Festival. The artistic and technical committee of the Festival will identify, in collaboration with the designers, the site that will best showcase their project. Designers will be asked to imagine their garden for exhibition for at least two summers, and to propose strategies for the repurposing or recycling of the garden or its materials after the end of its exhibition.Designers whose work has been exhibited in one of the last three editions (2020, 2021, or 2022) of the Festival are not eligible for this call for proposals.Deadline to Submit ProposalsThe deadline to submit proposals electronically is MONDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 2023 at 17:00 EST. Applications submitted after the deadline will not be accepted.All details are available here.Read the full post on Bustler

R3 Vision The R3 (Rural Revitalization and Regeneration) is a strategic initiative aimed at promoting comprehensive rejuvenation and sustainable development in rural areas. It focuses not only on the economic development of rural regions but also emphasizes progress in social, environmental, and cultural aspects. The R3 Design Competition is conceived to develop a design strategy guided by "critical regionalism" or "contextualism," intending to propose projects and designs closely related to local culture, architectural language, environment, and economy. The competition aims to integrate resources, improve infrastructure, encourage innovation, and foster community sharing without compromising local characteristics and cultural authenticity. The competition is open-ended, requiring participants to select a plot within the designated area of Shanxiabao Village, leveraging the tourism resources of the region. The designs should embody the principles of R3 from diverse perspectives. Throughout the design process, cultural resources, existing architectural language, and local urban features of Shanxiabao Village should be taken into consideration. Challenge The R3 competition invites architects, designers, planners, students, and participants who are passionate about sustainable rural revitalization. It encourages them to utilize the cultural and historical resources of Shanxiabao Village to create a space that promotes cultural exchange and heritage preservation, while driving the development of local handicraft industries and sustainable tourism. The competition accepts submissions of various types of architectural projects, including single-family residences, multi-unit buildings, public structures, adaptive structures, temporary living experiences, or any other scale of architecture. There are no limitations on the design process or construction techniques. The proposed designs should be selected within the designated area and consider their relationship with the surrounding environment. Designers are expected to respect local culture and architectural character, contemplate the integration of modern technology with rural history and culture, and propose future development strategies that align with rural conservation and revitalization. These strategies will also be crucial elements for project evaluation. The final architectural or spatial design should be driven by the development strategy, with the reasons and intentions behind the design clearly explained in the drawings. Site Information The project is located in Shanxiabao Village, Wuyi County, Zhejiang Province, China. This village has a long history and unique architecture, dating back over 300 years. Due to its distinctive cultural and historical value, Shanxiabao Village has been included in the first batch of China's Traditional Villages list and has received national-level protection and recognition. The project site is located in the Duimenshan Natural Village within the administrative jurisdiction of Shanxiabao Village, which can be reached by walking up the mountain trail. Currently, the population residing in this area is relatively small, and there is a high vacancy rate. Some of the existing houses have serious structural issues, requiring renovation plans for future development in tourism and homestay industries. The competition allows participants to select a plot of land within the Duimenshan Nature Village area, with custom dimensions. It is permissible to demolish existing buildings on the chosen plot to create a virtual site to articulate design concepts. Alternatively, limited demolition within the designated area is permitted, with a requirement to respect the original landform and topography.

Museum of Emotions / Edition #4

archiecho — Wed, 20 Sep 2023 17:17:51 +0200

Registration Deadline: Sep 27, 2023; Submission Deadline: Mar 4, 2024 It may not be your first instinct when entering a building to consider how it makes you feel, but architecture has always had a big impact on emotions. Different spaces are designed to make its inhabitants feel different things; offices can make you feel energised and productive, art galleries can make you feel thoughtful and curious, and museums can make you feel calm and intrigued. Each of these spaces are completely different from each other and are far more than just a building. As part of a series of annual architecture competitions, the Museum of Emotions competition is tasking participants with using architecture as a tool to bring out different emotions. They are being asked to design a museum that includes two separate halls that bring out contrasting emotions - one inducing negative emotions, and the other inducing positive emotions. Participants are free to choose the specific emotions they incite with their designs - fear, anger, anxiety, love, happiness, laughter, etc. The purpose of the Museum of Emotions is to use architecture as the primary tool to create emotional states, through consideration of the scales of the spaces, the journey through the space, colour, lighting, and material choice. As this is an ideas competition, participants are free to choose any site location, real or imaginary, as well as the size of their structure. Museum of Emotions / Edition #4 is one of the Buildners' silent competitions, in which participants must communicate their ideas without the use of any text. The design concept and thinking behind it must all be communicated solely through the use of visuals. PRIZES 3 winning proposals, 2 special award recipients and 6 honourable mentions will be selected. Bee Breeders will award a total of 7,000 € in prize money to competition winners as follows: 1st Prize - 3,000 € 2nd Prize - 1,500 € 3rd Prize - 1,000 € + 6 honourable mentions Buildner Student Award - 1000 € + 50 € gift card at ARCHHIVE BOOKS Buildner Sustainability Award - 500 € COMPETITION SCHEDULE Early Bird Registration: July 26 – September 27 Advance Registration: September 28 – November 28 Last Minute Registration: November 29 – January 30 Final registration deadline: January 30, 2024 Closing date for submission: March 4, 2024 (11:59pm LONDON TIME) Announcement of the winners: April 16, 2024 More: https://architecturecompetitio...Read the full post on Bustler

The design should incorporate considerations of flexibility and adaptability, sustainability, digital integration, human-centric design, community and culture, and multifunctionality. The challenge seeks innovative solutions that balance remote working trends with the necessity for physical spaces to foster a shared sense of identity and community. "Workplace Reimagined/ Edition #3" is an exciting opportunity for the participants to reshape the professional landscape, reflecting the transformation brought about by the remote work revolution.

Domestic Revolution

archiecho — Wed, 06 Sep 2023 20:01:03 +0200

Registration Deadline: Apr 15, 2024; Submission Deadline: Apr 30, 2024 Domestic Revolution In her book, 'Domestic Revolution,' Ruth Goodman proposes that a seemingly small change in the way Victorian households fired up their iron range (from wood to coal) fundamentally altered not just our domestic comforts, but our entire world. This domestic demand for more coal led to the expansion of mining, engineering, construction, and industry, kick-starting, pushing, and fueling the Industrial Revolution. Similarly, small shifts in our day-to-day practices can trigger something big, something unprecedented--something that spreads across the globe and revolutionizes the way we live.The Forgotten Room Almost every suburban homes have a unique living space: the patio. This space continues to be at the center of legal controversies and neighborhood disputes, as it occupies the ambiguous space between indoor and outdoor, private and public. Even though patio has the potential to embrace both the indoor and outdoor activities, it often finds itself in neglect in many suburban homes. How can we revolutionize this ubiquitous program through an intervention? Challenge For this competition, entrants are encouraged to envision an installation that can make a big impact in the way we use patio. Can this seemingly small part of the house change the way we live? Perhaps we have not discovered the full potential to utilize such a complex intersection of social boundaries. Your solution should be innovative, feasible, and have the potential to create positive change when replicated on a larger scale.Prize$6000 + winning design will be constructed in Vancouver!Learn more: https://arch-hive.com/competit...Read the full post on Bustler

THE HOUSE OF PEACE & PARIS & 2024

archiecho — Tue, 22 Aug 2023 01:17:52 +0200

Registration Deadline: Nov 12, 2023; Submission Deadline: Nov 12, 2023 THE HOUSE OF PEACE There is war. A deadly war. In Ukraine. What for ? The madness of men… those men who think that having at their disposal the largest country in the world (in square miles) would entitle them to want more square miles and to call themselves “David” (as opposed to Goliath). There is war. A deadly war. In Ukraine. But not only in Ukraine, of course. Humans cannot live without war. That is, without self-provoked death, although, those in charge are careful to send their own families to Switzerland and to hide themselves in ultra rich bunkers. We ask you for a change… instead of investing in war, to invest in peace. Next year Paris will host the next Olympics. And we thus thought: during the Olympics great fighters fight for a medal, fight for a win, fight for a recognized level of excellence. In essence, they fight with their own limits, which they want to transcend. The fight is often extreme… but at the end, these very competitors, who gave everything they had in order to win, embrace each other as if conflict was never an issue. And this embrace, in fact, represents the highest victory. To embrace one’s adversary. What could be more beautiful ? Let’s imagine the Russian soldiers embracing their Ukrainian counterparts, instead of killing each other and many, many other people. Yes: KILLING, KILLING, KILLING. “Home Sapiens” killing “Homo Sapiens.” We invite you to imagine THE HOUSE OF PEACE, to be built in Paris in 2024. The first House of Peace, built by a city hosting the Olympics. And four years later, the next city to host the Olympics to do the same, and so on… in time a constellation of Houses of Peace would be built on this ravished earth. Life is difficult as it is. Do we need to make it more difficult than necessary ? LET’S BUILD A "HOUSE OF PEACE" IN PARIS, 2024! LET’S DO IT AS A SIGN THAT THE WORLD WANTS TO CHANGE! In order to have a common denominator besides the theme, we would like to invite you to submit works that would “fit” into a cube approximately 10m x 10m x 10m. We would like to imagine this cube as being white, almost like a White K’aaba. But we invite you to make interventions within / on this white cube as imaginatively as possible. The essential requirement is that you try to express PEACE as poetically and as ardently as possible. How you do this, is entirely up to you. And so is the choice of a real place within the city of Paris where you would like to place your House of Peace. We are very much interested in building the best proposal, which will be chosen by a theme of professionals and responsible officials in Paris, where we would like to send a portfolio with all the works received. Again, this is a work we would like to see built, as the beginning of a Peace Campaign, so to speak, through the means of our own profession. Please send your work on two posters, size A1, oriented vertically or horizontally, to info@icarch.us or info@icarch.org by November 12th, 2023. Please describe your work as eloquently as possible, so indeed with further study your work could be built. If you have any questions, please contact us. Thank you, I C A R C H http://www.icarch.us http://www.icarch.org Read the full post on Bustler

International Consultation on Urban Design for Central Waterfront Area of Maozhou River, Guangming District, Shenzhen

archiecho — Fri, 18 Aug 2023 21:17:49 +0200

Registration Deadline: Sep 13, 2023; Submission Deadline: Jan 10, 2024 The International Consultation on Urban Design for Central Waterfront Area of Maozhou River, Guangming District, Shenzhen, hosted by the Planning and Natural Resources Bureau of Shenzhen Municipality, Guangming District People’s Government of Shenzhen Municipality and organized by Guangming Administration of Planning and Natural Resources Bureau of Shenzhen Municipality, now officially kicks off. The Consultation intends to call for the most creative, most site-specific and feasible urban design proposal to draw an “attainable, beautiful blueprint” that can turn the central waterfront area of the Maozhou River into “a new business card of the waterfront in the Greater Bay Area and a new urban parlor of Guangming District”.BackgroundLocated in the northwest of Shenzhen, the 156.1 km2, Guangming District now serves as the core node of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong-Macao S&T Innovation Corridor.In February 2019, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the State Council issued the Outline Development Plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, which clearly proposed to build a comprehensive national science center propelled jointly by Shenzhen Guangming Science City and the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Cooperation Zone for Technology and Innovation to support the construction of the International Science and Technology Innovation Center for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.Shenzhen Municipal People’s Government fully supports the development of Guangming Science City and proposes to build it into a core functional carrier area of the International Science and Technology Innovation Center for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and an important part of a comprehensive national science center, so as to create a world-class science city with outstanding competitiveness and influence.Looking into the future and shouldering the mission of the country, the Greater Bay Area and Shenzhen, Guangming District aims to create “a core carrier of the comprehensive national science center, a cluster area for science-research-oriented economy, a demonstrative urban area for green development, and an international cultural and livable city”. It will adhere to the development principle of “ecological base, generous framework, people-centered concept, and distinctive features”, and strive to make itself a world-class Science City with outstanding competitiveness and influence, a northern subcenter of Shenzhen, and an exemplary urban area of the great modern socialist country.Flowing through the core of Guangming District, Maozhou River is hailed the “mother river” of Shenzhen. It is the largest river in Shenzhen and one of the important ecological corridors among the “one ridge, one belt and twenty corridors” of the city’s “mountain-sea-city” plan. It is positioned as “a green vein on the east bank of the Greater Bay Area and the northwest gateway of Shenzhen”.In 2017, the secretary of the CPC Guangdong Provincial Committee and secretary of the CPC Shenzhen Municipal Committee respectively acted as the river chiefs of Maozhou River at provincial and municipal level to fully promote its water quality and riverbank greening improvement project. Thanks to the efforts made in water conservancy, flood prevention, urban management and industry upgrading, in particular the industry restructuring and urban functional upgrading, Maozhou River basin is becoming a demonstrative area for comprehensive improvement and development of “river + industry + city”.The improvement project of Maozhou River has been selected as a typical case for full implementation of the river/lake chief system by the Ministry of Water Resources, a promotional case for Beautiful Rivers and Lakes by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, one of the Ten Cases for Beautiful Rivers and Lakes in Guangdong Province, and one of the Ten Exemplary Projects for Territorial Space Restoration in Guangdong Province in 2022, setting a model of water-industry-city joint governance, and providing a series of replicable and applicable experience in water environment governance and ecological restoration. The central waterfront area of Maozhou River has been listed among the six major development areas of Guangming District, with focus on such functions as the commercial belt, enterprise headquarters, cultural district, and science and innovation district along both banks of the Maozhou River, striving to create “a new business card of the waterfront in the Greater Bay Area and a new urban parlor of Guangming District” and establish a base for the district to accomplish its goal to become “an initiator of original innovation, a leader in science-research-oriented economy, and a hub of innovative talents”.In order to fully realize the strategic value of the central waterfront area of Maozhou River and implement the requirements for high-quality and high-valu

Registration Deadline: Sep 30, 2024; Submission Deadline: Sep 30, 2024 Challenge: to design a suspended bedroom for 2 people on the sheer rock cliffs of Tavertet.Our brief asks for the design of a 2-person sleeping pod that can be suspended on a cliff face or balance on a mountain ridge. The fully sustainable and self sufficient design should provide a comfortable, enclosed, safe space to sleep 2 people and a dog. It should be made of locally sourced, natural materials to sit peacefully within the picturesque landscape, making this the main feature of the experience.Tavertet is a small mountain village at the top of the Guilleries Natural Park, nestled within the Catalan Pre-Pyrenees mountains. The Pre-Pyrenees consist of large groups of low, undulating mountains at the base of the much taller, much sharper Pyrenees, which create a natural border between Spain, France and Andorra.The design will provide a connection between humans and nature and considers its impact on the surroundings including construction, materiality, ecology and views.All entries will be published and promoted across our global platforms.SITE ANALYSIS, TOPOGRAPHY & PHOTOGRAPHS included in this purchase.Exclusive package including:Additional images & videosProject criteria and detailsLocal Routes & Site informationFlora & Faunal informationCAD Topography3D Topography Modellarsenliverpool.com/tavertetRead the full post on Bustler

MacEwen Award 2024

archiecho — Wed, 16 Aug 2023 01:34:52 +0200

Registration Deadline: Nov 1, 2023; Submission Deadline: Nov 1, 2023 Inclusion, sustainability, strengthening communities, tackling economic deprivation... architecture can address these burning issues – has yours? Submit your schemes that support the common good by 2pm Wednesday 1 NovemberHave you completed a project that has been particularly inclusive? Perhaps one that provides something extra for the community? Or one that is really sustainable and good for the planet? Any kind of project that tackles one of the pressing social, economic or environmental issues of our time? If you have, the MacEwen Award 2024 is awaiting your entry. RIBA Journal is on the lookout for the latest projects which have gone above and beyond in architecture for the common good. The RIBAJ MacEwen Award was launched in 2016 to discover and celebrate architecture with a greater purpose that perhaps took that bit more effort but that has reaped more various rewards. Each year the award has grown and developed. We’ve always been flexible as to what ‘common good’ can mean – entrants show us as the context of architecture changes. But at their core, the awards are about architecture that is responsible and acts in the wider interest. In 2023, the winner was Scott Whitby Studio’s Jubilee Pool, which saved a historic lido in Penzance. The practice was involved in raising awareness, funding and sparking community involvement, as well as designing a new café, community space, restoring the historic building and turning a portion of the sea pool into a year-round swimming area through geothermal energy. Entries could, however, enliven a street, create a wonderful sense of place, or tackle world issues, for example, yet should do so with dignity and joy. The award brings together the biggest projects with the tiniest; well-known practices with up and coming; national schemes with local.https://www.ribaj.com/buildings/enter-now-macewen-awardRead the full post on Bustler

What will people build with? Where will they live, work, and play? And this year, we’re asking not only practicing architects but also educators and graduate students to consider an answer.“The future truly belongs to those who create it, and the Forge Prize offers a unique opportunity to dream big and envision something ground-breaking,” said AISC Senior Architect for University Relations Jeanne Homer, AIA. “I spent 20 years teaching architecture, and I’ve watched countless students come up with amazing concepts in the studio. I’m thrilled to invite the next generation of big thinkers and the educators who both guide and are inspired by them to enter the Forge Prize.”The Forge Prize, established by the American Institute of Steel Construction in 2018, recognizes visionary emerging architects, architecture faculty, and graduate students for design concepts that embrace innovations in steel as a primary structural component.The competition is open to designers or teams of designers based in the U.S. who are:Emerging practicing architects (those licensed for less than 10 years or on the path to licensure);Tenured or tenure-track educators who have taught for less than 10 years in a university-level architecture program in the U.S.;Adjunct architecture educators who have taught for less than 10 years and have been licensed for less than 10 years or are on the path to licensure;Graduate-level architecture students enrolled in a university-level, U.S.-based architecture program.Three finalists each win a $5,000 cash prize--and they’ll all get free registration and travel support to attend the 2024 Architecture in Steel specialty conference at NASCC: The Steel Conference (March 20 to 22, 2024, in San Antonio, Texas)!They’ll each work with a steel fabricator to refine their concept before stepping into a global spotlight to present their concepts live to the judges--and to the public--on YouTube. The winning designers will present their visions to the industry at the conference and take home the $10,000 grand prize!The design community has embraced the challenge since the competition’s inception, creating concepts for jaw-dropping pedestrian bridges in San Diego and New York, a revitalized public housing community in Harlem, and much more. The 2023 Forge Prize went to a design that would reimagine existing gas station infrastructure for the EV age.

And yet clear barriers subsist for realizing a truly affordable housing prototype at scale within communities that need them most. The current approach to homebuilding and addressing the global housing crisis is not working as more than 1.2 billion globally lack adequate shelter.The Initiative 99 jury consists of an expert panel of architectural practitioners, academic leaders, policy makers and non-profit organizations committed to realizing affordable housing solutions including: Michelle Addington, Architect and Dean of Architecture at University of Texas, Austin; Lucia Athens, Chief Sustainability Officer, City of Austin; Michael Bell, Professor and Founding Chair, Columbia Conference on Architecture, Engineering and Materials at Columbia University; Shajay Bhooshan, Associate Director, Zaha Hadid Architects; Alejandra Guerrero, Deputy Director, CityLab and Department of Architecture, UCLA; Brett Hagler, CEO and Co-Founder, New Story; Mariana Ibanez, Chair and Associate Professor, UCLA Architecture and Urban Design; Bjarke Ingels, Founder and Creative Director of Bjarke Ingels Group; Christophe Lalande, Leader, Housing Unit, UN-Habitat; Michael McDaniel, Director of Design, ICON; Marc Norman, Associate Dean of the Schack Institute of Real Estate, New York University; and Melodie Yashar, Vice President of Building Design and Performance, ICON.If you're an architect, designer, builder or just someone who cares, then join the mission and begin your application today!Apply --> https://bit.ly/initiative99Read the full post on Bustler

The 1st STELSI International Metaverse Architecture Competition

archiecho — Fri, 07 Jul 2023 09:17:48 +0200

Registration Deadline: Jul 20, 2023; Submission Deadline: Jul 20, 2023 In the era of the Metaverse Renaissance, characterized by the advancements of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and artificial intelligence technology, a new concept of empathy is required. STELSI recognizes the importance of architecture in representing people's identities within the metaverse. While food and clothing serve as avatars and items, housing plays an even more significant role in shaping our virtual existence. Architecture emerges from the dynamic interplay between humans, the environment, beliefs, and values. Architects, through this interaction, have the power to design spaces that transcend mere functionality and imbue them with profound meaning, thereby elevating our existence. Within the expanded temporal dimension of the metaverse, architects assume a crucial role. They can manipulate dimensions, harmonize chance and inevitability, and reignite the potential for coexistence. By placing human, environmental, belief, and temporal interactions at the core of spatial and place design, architects unlock creative possibilities that enrich our existence within the metaverse. One of the remarkable aspects of the metaverse is its potential for spatially reorganizing information and revolutionizing the ways in which we explore it. Architects equipped with this opportunity can craft environments that facilitate the discovery and understanding of information in novel and engaging ways. By integrating human experiences, environmental contexts, belief systems, and temporal dynamics, architects can foster the emergence of creative ideas that enhance our existence in the metaverse. By centering spatial and place design around these fundamental interactions, architects contribute to a future where the metaverse becomes a platform for profound expression and coexistence.Together with you, STELSI will redefine new spaces and places in the age of the metaverse. To that end, we are holding a metaverse architecture competition to see what innovative and creative ideas you have to enrich our existence.Competition TopicsThe main theme is “The metaverse world we live in”. As reality becomes more integrated, virtual, augmented, hybrid, and scalable, we feel that our reality is increasingly converging with the online world.

Call For Ideas: The Dwelling 2023 Architecture Competition

archiecho — Fri, 07 Jul 2023 02:18:04 +0200

Registration Deadline: Jun 29, 2023; Submission Deadline: Oct 12, 2023 Since the start of time, a HOME has continued to be an entity that is intimate to all living beings on the planet. A space that not only provides a physical shelter for humans and everything they hold dear but also shapes their daily lives. A home forms a distinct bond with its users and the environment that it sits in defining both personal and social interactions. Humans traditionally have thrived on social dialogue creating communities based upon work, education, place of origin, etc. aligning interests, and a place for incubation of skills, values, and ideas fueling civilizations. These Communities play a pivotal role in defining the social fabric and embedding values and virtues by which an individual perceives the world outside this habitat. The world is transforming at a breakneck speed putting a strain on our resources. In a quest for a better life, millions across the globe have been moving to the cities every day. This has resulted in a rise in densely populated urban areas along with a lack of land resources and financial constraints to provide sufficient housing for the masses. This phenomenon has led to a rise in innovation focusing on unconventional ideas like Smart Homes, Pod Houses, Social Housing, Co-Living Spaces, Tiny Houses, Micro Houses, Hostels, etc., making a home accessible to many and simultaneously helping achieve one’s aspiration. The concept of these revolutionary homes encourages making the innovation of maximum functional area in a minimum footprint, thus redefining the perception of Sustainability in urban dwellings. However, the world is becoming increasingly disconnected, with social interactions growing more superficial and digital. Can these new-age habitation models ignite a sense of community, warmth, and homeliness in an individual? “We shape our buildings: thereafter they shape us.” - Winston Churchill OPPORTUNITY: People today are facing financial and environmental setbacks, along with the quest to improve their standard of living and have more freedom in the realm of urban housing. This has led them to follow modest and efficient ways of living. Homes today are versatile entities – doubling up as offices, play areas, work-out zones, and spaces for interaction and recreation, transformative, multi-purpose, and evolving to adapt to us, not the other way around. The Dwelling 2023 Architecture Competition invites Architects, Designers, Students, Enthusiasts, and everyone around the world, to create inventive architectural solutions challenging the conventions of the present-day Archetype of a Home and call for a sense of living based on community spirit. Arranged in self-contained, well-integrated communities, the residential units would embody simplicity, innovation, creativity, and spatial versatility. It's time to design novel residential communities that learn from our past, adapt to our present, and anticipate our future, ultimately fostering thriving communities. "There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about." -Margaret J. Wheatley CHALLENGE:The Dwelling 2023 Architecture Competition challenges you to come up with inventive and sustainable solutions for urban dwelling clusters. Participants are encouraged to create functional, aesthetically pleasing designs that cater to the personal and communal needs of its inhabitants. The proposed archetypes should address space constraints, maximize functionality, and reflect the cultural identity of the community. A total of 100 users should be considered for the design proposal. Participants are to choose a site relevant to the subject, in the urban context. The design has to serve as an upgrade to the standard of living of the users. While being very functional in nature, it should also be aesthetically pleasing. The Dwelling units are to be designed using 3 different user configurations. Participants are encouraged to use more than one typology to create urban dwelling clusters. The Dwelling units are to be of the following 3 configurations: Type 1: 2 user unit should not exceed total area of 250 sq.ft Type 2: 4 user unit should not exceed total area of 350 sq.ft Type 3: 6 user unit should not exceed total area of 550 sq.ft Participants are encouraged to explore multi functionality in a space and design a home that would provide a comfortable living accommodation for its users. The design and concept of the house should be innovative, creative and sustainable. The designed unit should be modeled to make the optimum use of space, and it needs to be explained in detail. The designed units should cater to personal needs (rest, bath, cook, and work) and community space requirements (interaction, incubation, learning). As per their discretion, the participants are free to add more functions and spaces required in their proposals that would add value to its users as p

Genius Loci Festival Competition Open Call 2023: "BAUHAUS GOES AI"

archiecho — Wed, 28 Jun 2023 18:52:09 +0200

Registration Deadline: Jul 9, 2023; Submission Deadline: Jul 9, 2023 100 years ago, the legendary Bauhaus Werkschau, the Bauhaus Exhibition of 1923, took place in Weimar. For the first time, the Bauhaus invited the whole of Germany to an exhibition and showcase, its Bauhaus Week. Among other things, the world-famous architectural icon "Das Haus am Horn" was presented as part of this exhibition. This visionary design represented the creative and design potential behind the democratic awakening of the young Weimar Republic and the maxim 'Design for All'.100 years later, another push in the democratization of design and art in the world of design is imminent: the technological development in the field of artificial intelligence. So-called Generative Neural Networks (GAN) are able to create pixel-perfect graphics and entire animations of impressive quality and technical perfection from simple texts. Once again, the democratization of art takes another, this time downright dramatic step: anyone can be a graphic artist through machine assistance. Is classical design and art education obsolete? Even more: with deepfakes, anyone can present any event to anyone at any time. Is even reality already obsolete?With the 2023 edition of the festival, Genius Loci Weimar would like to commemorate the Bauhaus Week that took place 100 years ago, and this year's competition will reflect on tasks and issues surrounding the use of artificial intelligence in art and design.https://www.genius-loci-weimar.org/en/competition.htmlRead the full post on Bustler

Registration Deadline: Jul 3, 2023; Submission Deadline: Jul 4, 2023 WATER, THE MOST INTEGRAL RESOURCE “Water is the driving force of all nature,” yet its position in society is indifferent to this. Water is essential for survival and its availability/ unavailability could transform life in any region. Floods are capable of submerging the physical fabric of a city whereas the scarcity of water can lead to a drought, threatening the well-being and even survival of all living beings in the area. Both of these forces can be catastrophic, and we fight every day to resolve this inequality and threat. In the ongoing struggle against climate change, this situation has been disparaged extensively in the respective regions, with more frequent freak floods observed in shoreline regions. The increase in human population and consequent surge in water demand has left arid and semi-arid regions with limited water resources. Since climate change influences water resources around the world, the original state of water sources is affected and the predictions of repercussions of this event in the future are dismal.CHINA AND ITS RISING WATER ISSUES China is the most populous country in the world. It has the fastest growing economy in the world, but this remarkable and fast-paced progress has occurred at the expense of the environment. At this moment, it is at a crossroads and the future development is steered in a sustainable direction. China has been facing a perilous water crisis for the longest time. The unique geographical location of the nation has an unequal distribution of water as a resource. China is a huge country with 20% of the world’s population but only 7% of its water. The southern regions receive 80% of China’s rainfall and snowmelt (about 79 inches a year), while the north and west get 20% (8 to 16 inches). The huge population creates a constantly rising demand for water. To add to this issue, several climatic factors have affected the sources of water causing subsequent shortages. Pollution of the environment, water resources, along with inefficient use of water and over-extraction has created an acute water shortage crisis in China.

On Rail & Challenge to design luxury tourism on rails

archiecho — Fri, 23 Jun 2023 18:18:04 +0200

Registration Deadline: Oct 2, 2023; Submission Deadline: Oct 3, 2023 THE TALE OF TRAINS Trains were once a fascinating transport technology. First introduced in 1804, trains allowed people to experience travel in comparative comfort at speeds previously unthinkable. They became imperative vehicles not just for people but also for important cargo that enabled the boom in trade. They also became new ways of experiencing changing landscapes as one travelled. Nevertheless, human nature is intrinsically inclined to build better technology and therefore the popularity of trains was gradually replaced by planes. Not only did these airborne modes of transport tickle the flying fantasy in humans but they also allowed for faster and more efficient transportation. Today, however, railways are a considerable investment that still has certain merits compared to planes primarily in cost-effectiveness and cargo transportation. Thus to repopularise railways for better revenue, many countries around the world are reimagining and recontextualising these modes of transport. RAIL OF LUXURYA new and slowly growing approach around the world in reimagining trains is creating luxury trains. These moving hotels are often inspired by the place they transverse. The primary intent is to create comfortable and premium travel experiences that evoke the country’s history and heritage. By being inherently land-bound they also have the advantage of being able to promote tourism across destinations in a continent. One particular qualm with train travel is that the journeys may be longer and take more time, however, trains also have several advantages in their favour. For example, passengers can experience the local environment, social and economic conditions, and a kaleidoscope of colours during their travels more intimately. Another significant virtue is that luxury trains have the liberty to be more spacious, unlike places. They can have restaurants, bars, lounges, comfortable sleeping and seating areas and bathrooms. DESIGN A LUXURY TRAVEL EXPERIENCE Trains are a significant investment to a nation owing to their need for infrastructure and continuous land use throughout the nation to its various destinations. However, trains also pose equally substantial benefits, particularly in terms of economic feasibility and the ease of transportation of cargo. As a result, it may be valuable to consider ways to repopularise trains for tourists. Brief: For this challenge, you must reimagine and redesign a coach of a luxury train.The design of the interiors will include planning, lighting, material details and mechanisms inspired by the location theme. Privacy and interaction must be moderated to ensure convenience in travel, for passengers as well as the crew. The experience should be able to celebrate and promote the cultural and historical heritage of the chosen region but must allow for modern comforts and technology in the journey. The aim is to imagine novel tourism opportunities on movable transportation. OBJECTIVESRedesign: How does your outcome exhibit your novel approach to creating luxury coach designs in the given context Heritage: How does your design outcome celebrate the artistic and cultural heritage of the given context Comfort: The design must be comfortable and welcoming to individuals who intend to spend long hours in the space during their travel Upgrade: How does the design allow for opportunities to upgrade with time?Link - https://uni.xyz/competitions/o...PrizesWinner - $6000Runner Up - $1400 x 6Honorable Mention - $600 x 12People's Choice - $600 x 4ScheduleRegistration ends - 2nd October 2023Submission ends - 3rd October 2023Result announcement - 30th November 2023Read the full post on Bustler

"I do not claim to know what space is. The longer I think about it, the more mysterious it becomes. About one thing, however, I am sure: when we, as architects are concerned with space, we are contending with but a tiny part of the infinity that surrounds the earth and yet each and every building marks a unique place in that infinity.” – Peter ZumthorThis competition intends to understand spaces of the built environment and its effect on human mind and behavior. Every space has some effect on our mind depending on the quality of that space. We as human beings have an inner connection with our environment by physical, mental, emotional and spiritual means.

Libgen & A new outlook for public library in future

archiecho — Thu, 01 Jun 2023 19:34:56 +0200

Registration Deadline: Jun 5, 2023; Submission Deadline: Jun 6, 2023 NEW METHOD OF LEARNINGThe world that we see today is closer than ever before. The knowledge that was earlier stored via books has now been transferred to the digital medium. It is accessible to the world, making the process of acquiring this knowledge i.e. learning, simpler. Self-learning as an experience is limitless and is said to be a process that prevails in the continuum, absorbed anywhere and everywhere. Books are a medium of self-learning in the form of written media that preserve history, fiction, art, and science. After almost 650 years of their existence, they are now seen as another form of technology that people are moving ahead without. It is not the only source of knowledge anymore. As knowledge grew in all dimensions, teaching it to everyone also became systemized in the form of Education which was the method of imparting knowledge. LEARNING IN PERSPECTIVEInstitutions became a new platform to learn and gain an education. But, it was, and still is tied with many strings that limit the feasibility of education. This is often controlled by barriers of money, age, and social stigmas that accept it only during the early phases of one’s life. An avenue to self educate and learn was initiated by the need for a public space that made knowledge accessible to all with books. The concept of libraries has initiated this idea, by making learning accessible to all. It banked on the idea of gathering a wide spectrum of knowledge in one space, open to enable self-learning. The digital age resolved this with a few clicks by giving us information-based knowledge and a platform to learn on the web. Yet, a spatial zone to absorb this knowledge is still finding its place in the urban landscape in the context of today. EVOLUTION OF LIBRARIESThe creation of the library was initiated with the need of documenting information, knowledge, and history. It acted as the “data center” of ancient times that consisted of a collection of books, manuscripts, etc. As its accessibility was extended to the public, it opened new platforms for self-learning. It accommodated other public facilities on demand and began acting as a social responsibility within the society itself. Library of Seattle, Geisel Library, Tianjin Bahai Library of China is some of the public libraries designed in the past three decades that have made a successful attempt to enhance their public facility into a multi-dimensional learning space.The function of a library was re-modeled with time as it served as a public facility that could be centralized for a different learning experience altogether. With the digitization, availability of the internet, modes of learning have been restructured into new forms, but the spatial zones to acquire this knowledge are yet to receive an update on a larger scale. A library has in a way become a public building that is wanted by everybody, however public interest is diminishing at large.LIBRARY DESIGNIn a time when society was seeking information, the function of the library was to be the center of the city’s knowledge with written resources to make learning accessible and affordable. Two centuries later when there’s information everywhere, and people are figuring out what to do with this information, what will the function of a library be? Today libraries suffer thanks to budget cuts and lack of interest by the public at large - can libraries evolve to become something bigger? Can libraries be the think tank of the city? Or a forum where the exchange of ideas happens? Can they evolve from a passive function of a repository to an active self-learning space to share and create new knowledge? Can this new function be enclosed in a more conducive infrastructure? The challenge here is to design/completely rewrite the universal definition of the public library and democratize education and learning through refreshing spatial ideas. This space should provide an opportunity to enable self/collective learning at any age.PRIZESWinner 6000$ Runner - Up - 1400$ x 6 People's Choice - 600$ x 4 Honourable Mention - 600$ x 12Learn More - https://uni.xyz/competitions/libgen/info/aboutRead the full post on Bustler

Congregate

archiecho — Thu, 01 Jun 2023 19:34:52 +0200

Registration Deadline: Jun 5, 2023; Submission Deadline: Jun 6, 2023 Interpreting ReligionReligion is a social institution giving people a means to root their soul and purpose in the world. The collection of values such as beliefs, norms, rituals and myths are different for different religions. The element of divinity attached to religions is what gives them power over their intellectual subjects. Any religion is based on the belief system of its people. But this base is not concrete since, in history, faith in many matters has evolved with development in science and our knowledge of the universe. So, there is a realisation that the core values of all religions conduct a similar set of ethics, morality and acts. This dawn of thought in the present times has changed the way people interpret religion in their lives. Will this change in interpretation of religion today affect its architectural spaces? Space for peace and harmonySacred places are sites for collective actions of praying and interaction among the followers of any given religion. Religions assert their power through powerful symbols and acts in society, and the places of worship are grounds for this. The diversity of religions creates a constant field of friction. Every religion proclaims peace, but owing to varied perceptions of an abstract concept, religions are abused as facilitators of conflict. But the new interpretation of religion and faith is different from its past restrictive versions.Religion is reinforced in the mass of its followers, and the unification of distinct individuals through common beliefs and values is the very essence of all religions. Faith in a higher power condones the act of praying, and with the new notion of religion, a change is to be seen in the way places of worship are designed. How can we create a clean slate of space that would be capable to congregate peace and harmony in society? CongregateWorshipping is a form of spiritual release that is an essential part of human well-being. This act can be facilitated in a new type of architectural space that builds on the idea of strengthening a society, via unity among followers of different faiths.Brief: The challenge is to design a prayer hall that is a congregation space for people of all religions and faiths. The intended aim of the design is to create a space that is synonymous with the evolution of faith and religion in our contemporary context. There is a need to build on the core values of any religious gathering, and congregate that in the design of the spaces. The design of the prayer hall can be inspired by various religious architecture types from around the world, but must not include any direct representation of any particular religious symbols or elements. The design must not be offensive to any religious beliefs. Design objectivesLandmark: The concept of the prayer hall design must not be disrespectful or biased to any particular faith, but rather be an amalgamation or abstraction inspired by them. Purpose (if any): It can serve an additional purpose that could benefit the socio-economic or environmental aspects of the local community.Convenience: The hall must be accessible and convenient for use by different user groups. A comfortable ambience is needed to support the intimate act of praying.Harmony: The design must establish some harmony or connection with the surroundings while having outstanding features. Context: The design must respond to the (existing) site conditions. The wider socio-cultural, economic and environmental settings are to be considered in the design approach.SiteVietnam is a secular country, where each individual has the freedom to practice their religion in the way they want. Most citizens do not consider themselves to be religiously affiliated, but share rituals and traditions that make the culture-rich of country. The nation is open and accepting of diverse religions and thus, makes it an ideal location for this typology. The site is located in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.The city is moving towards advanced tech spaces but the cultural landscape is rich with religions and traditions even today. The huge population consists of several religions and ethnic groups that are existing harmoniously in the city. The city is filled with sacred spaces of popular religious groups occupying the area.

U&Farm & Challenge to design an Urban Farming Center

archiecho — Thu, 01 Jun 2023 19:34:49 +0200

Registration Deadline: Jul 3, 2023; Submission Deadline: Jul 4, 2023 Consumption cycleThe consumption pattern of humankind has become a vicious cycle of consumption and destruction. Humans extract resources from nature, create infrastructure, and produce wastes/by-products that lead to the degradation of ecological systems. To fight these deterioration concerns, the solutions devised rely on resources, again, from nature. Issues like global warming and climate change have emerged as a result, posing a threat to the existence of humankind and the planet. Urban centres are operating on linear systems that contribute to the inefficiency of the consumption cycle. As the population in cities is anticipated to grow in the future, a circular economy system needs to be established to fight the threats faced.Can a circular economy resolve all urban concerns of contemporary times?Tacking the unhealthy cycleUrbanisation has not only created a burden on earth’s limited resources but affects the wellbeing of both nature and man. Human health, safety and security are at risk in volatile and complex systems operating in dense cities. Requirements such as food, shelter, and income are provided through unsustainable supply chains to the general public. Food systems are the main concern in major cities around the world. The pressure of the population increases the reliance on external sources for fulfilling the food requirements.Due to this, new methods of increasing food production in cities are being explored. Urban farming is an intervention that is strengthening its foothold in urban landscapes. Through this process, the waste loop is closed and a circular economy is created. Its contribution to the social scenario involves food security, improving the health of residents, and employment opportunities for local communities.Can farming contribute to the city environment? Bringing farming into the cityUrban farming can have far-reaching global effects such as reduction in waste production, greenhouse gas emissions and restore local ecosystems, ensuring the well-being of nature and man.Brief: The challenge is to design an urban farming centre that can be used to improve the local food production in the city and as a skill centre for enthusiasts and out-of-work citizens. A centre for urban farming will help increase the awareness of food supply systems and provide training and learning facilities for the unemployed factions of society. The design can be inspired by the city landscape. The centre will operate as farming land and an informal learning institute. The aim of the centre is to promote farming in urban settings. The learning centre will be able to provide people with skills and equipment that can be used to incorporate farming on an individual level as well. The centre must be designed keeping in mind the local constraints of the site. Design objectivesBalance: Privacy and interaction must be guided in the layout as per the nature of the activity. The balance between aesthetics and functionality, as well as open, semi-open and closed learning spaces.Harmony: The design must establish some harmony or connection with the surroundings while having outstanding features. Context: The design must respond to the (existing) site conditions. The wider socio-cultural, economic and environmental settings are to be considered in the design approach.Sustainability: Reduce the negative impact of design on the environment, by improving building performance, reducing waste and ensuring comfort for occupants. SiteChina has seen tremendous growth on socio-economic fronts, but agriculture holds an important place in the country’s progress. Despite the shortage of arable land, farming has flourished with intense labour and assistive technologies. Shanghai is an urban agglomeration that is riddled with environmental problems. The city land is 32% farmlands and this has been decreasing in the wake of urbanisation. Food demand has risen with population density. As sustainable development takes foot, the urban farming trend has taken traction with efforts for terrace or roof farming, urban farmlands and so on. The site is located in a neighbourhood surrounded by predominantly residential settlements. It can be accessed by Fuhai Road with many restaurants and eateries. Cooperative efforts between farmers, citizens and authorities are helping propagate the agenda of urban farming.Site area = 8324 sq.m Height restricti metres Ground coverage = 50% Max FAR =1 Setbacks (as per CAD plan) Coordinates = 31°22'05.9"N 121°14'55.9"EProgram outlineThe following programmatic outline is the point to begin your design at.

Save Song & Ca Trù music center design challenge

archiecho — Fri, 26 May 2023 19:35:02 +0200

Registration Deadline: Sep 4, 2023; Submission Deadline: Sep 5, 2023 MUSIC, A CULTURAL TOOL OF COMMUNICATION Music, a form of expression that has been used over millennia to communicate, document and personalize our lives, has taken many forms today and evolved into bigger things. One of those bigger things is music as a tradition. Being a historical niche form of tradition, slowly fading into oblivion in the background, music has played an important role in maintaining various cultural identities of both communities and individuals. It is true when music is said to be an efficient communicating tool, especially in terms of traditions it propagates through the ages. Musical traditions across the world have traversed cultural and social obstacles to survive to this day. While some of them have already been erased from society due to no propagation, and some of them thrive to live and popularise themselves, there are some that are dwindling on the brink of extinction and require revival. MUSICAL IDENTITY OF VIETNAM: CA TRÙ Ca trù is a complex traditional musical culture that has been earmarked by UNESCO, as in need of urgent support for survival and propagation. This music is part of the intangible heritage of Vietnam, representative of the culture, skills and practices of locals through several generations. Ca trù is a sophisticated chamber music tradition of northern Vietnam that was perfected over centuries but took a hit due to the diminishing number and age of practitioners. This form of music was used as a way to fulfil social purposes such as celebrations and worship. As the knowledge of this poetry is transmitted from generation to generation, there is the constant reinvigoration of this form as it interacts with its surroundings and this helps in creating an identity and sense of continuity, strengthening community relations and cultural diversity. The practice is propagated in society with verbal teachings by skilled members during communal activities or performances for local events. But the message of preservation can be amplified with the provision of a dedicated centre to exhibit the value of this cultural tradition.PRIZESWinner - $6000Runner Up - $1400*6Honorable Mention - $600*12People's Choice - $600*4Visit - https://bit.ly/save-song-challengeRead the full post on Bustler

Afloat 2.0 & Design Competition for water resilient habitats

archiecho — Fri, 26 May 2023 19:34:59 +0200

Registration Deadline: Jun 5, 2023; Submission Deadline: Jun 6, 2023 Addressing climate changeClimate change is not a new concept to us. We have been witness to its impact and awareness for at least two decades. Reducing greenhouse gases, control waste, and air pollution, promoting sustainable living and planting more trees are some efforts that we as a community are taking to make a gradual change. But it seems that the scale is somehow imbalanced, as more people are contributing to our inevitability. Moreover, this is not only through minor negligence but encompasses a spectrum of capitalism, social and even basic human factors. While some climate change solutions might be working for today but they might prove insufficient for tomorrow. Effects from issues such as rising sea levels and increasing air pollution have already commenced in the form of flooding and health problems in cities. Core environmental problems involve a lot of problem-solving on a macro scale. So for now, can we begin to accommodate these changes and plan for the future through positive design solutions?Rising sea levelsA growing number of communities both inland and coastal are going underwater. Sea-level rise, extreme weather and other climatic factors and human intervention are to blame for these issues.Floods are natural disasters that have affected mankind since their inception, evidence of ancient underwater cities prove that even the best-designed cities are nothing in comparison to the force of nature. While nature always acts promptly to balance itself, human activities such as ocean pollution and land reclamation have put untimely pressure on the oceans and nature. We have made nature's clock move faster. And it has resulted in estimates that major world cities will sink by 2050.It indicates that flooding will cause land subsidence as well as a major housing and infrastructure problem for thousands of communities living in coastal cities. Brief of the competitionSemarang is vulnerable to various hazards, stresses and shocks because of flooding. The issues of infrastructure and housing are also prevalent in the city due to overpopulation and create an unpredictable future for a living. While moving major capitals like Jakarta has been provided as an official solution, it has raised questions of deforestation and destruction of traditional villages at selected sitesMoreover, replanning and uprooting such packed cities can be a daunting task for people with low-income and permanent housing, so in such dire situations can we provide a solution that tackles existing issues in the region itself? By doing this, how can we improve/change the housing and infrastructure of a city? Brief: The challenge is to propose a mixed housing unit in the city of Semarang, providing innovative housing solutions to prevent flooding.

Registration Deadline: Nov 15, 2023; Submission Deadline: Nov 26, 2023 A HOUSE FOR TINA TURNER We will all die. This is certain. If Tina Turner died, there is no chance any of us would survive. If such energy, tonic energy, can vanish, who could expect to outlive it ? Was she, indeed, The Queen of Rock’n Roll ? Yes, it is possible, although it might be that she was not alone. But even so, she was always an inspiration. Such inspiration we will continue to need, if we are to escape a dull life. She danced and she sang. She sang and she danced. She was Tina Turner. The incandescent performer. We need her, we also need rock’n roll, with or without Kings and Queens. How to design a house for her ? Explosive ? But then, how could it be both explosive and sustainable ? Should it be built on that “other half” of the world, belonging to Nature, or to this half, belonging to man ? We will die. We are born do die. And if even Tina Turner died, we have no chance to escape. We ask you to design A HOUSE FOR TINA TURNER. On this earth, or who knows where ? Or a house for her music ? Both. She was her music and her music was her. Commemorate her, architecturally! Intoxicate yourselves with her energy. And then pause, since beyond it there is nothing. Please send us ANY work, ANY size, ANY format that responds to the theme. Please send your works to info@icarch.org by November 26th, her birthday. We will publish all of them on our website.

Nevertheless the goal of all the projects is the same; to provide solutions in problems related to architecture or urbanism for the underprivileged, deprived or the oppressed, vulnerable populations. It is obligatory then to set some criteria that could make the comparison of the projects possible, but also to offer a means to measure the proximity of the projects to the goal.

Uncommon & Challenge to design a boutique hostel

archiecho — Tue, 23 May 2023 01:01:04 +0200

Registration Deadline: Jul 3, 2023; Submission Deadline: Jul 4, 2023 BRIEFHumankind is dependent on cities for various social, economic, and physical needs. Income and employment are the leading causes of urbanisation, as more people settle in cities. They get more work-oriented over time, rendering cities as mere job-centrals. The new condition of the urban population follows the way of the grind.The new work-intensive lifestyle has a detrimental effect on the well-being of humans. To relieve themselves of the pressures of the job, people look for opportunities to escape, and travel to scenic destinations to relax and rejuvenate themselves. The commercialisation of cities has overpowered the social and psychological needs of humans. The turn of the 21st century has seen a rise in the trend of remote working. Technological infrastructure enables people to work from remote locations and hit their targets at their own leisure and pace. As the travel-work trend is gaining traction recently.In what ways has the new work-life dynamic altered or influenced our lifestyle choices?CHANGE IN TRAVELS TRENDS AND DURATIONTravel provides a necessary break from the exhausting life people lead in cities. Vacations, in the past, were taken to countryside retreats just outside the city, for short durations. But with the new online mode of working, people have flexibility with their work location and can undertake trips for a longer period of time. This gives them a chance to explore the new city, live there and be a part of the local daily life. In any travel, accommodation is the foremost priority. The travel-work populace has specific requirements when it comes to their stay arrangements. Since work will be a major part of their daily activities, a productive workspace setting is required. Stay quarters will promote comfort, leisure as well as effectiveness. Hotels provide premium accommodation on a day-to-day basis, which could be unaffordable or unfit for people planning long-term living and working. New options of rental homes and hostels are becoming popular for serving people with such a specific mindset. Affordability is a key, with no compromise on space quality to inspire efficiency.

What if they became places where people could work, learn, play, heal, connect and rejuvenate?Indian Railways is the 4th largest rail network in the world and is the largest employer in India. The network connects 7000+ stations all over the country, where over 13,000 trains operate every day. Across the 7,653 railway stations in India, more than 6000 are in X, Y and Z cities. Reimagining railway stations in these cities/towns as active urban nodes also adds to their multi-dimensional relationship with their surroundings and nearby neighbourhoods. With Transit-oriented Development (TOD) becoming an integral part of urban development, to promote public transit use, it’s time to look at what possibilities railway stations hold. They could become places that amalgamate various spheres and sectors, and fill in the gaps in the town’s life, with facilities like education, healthcare, workspaces, commercial developments, etc. They could also help uplift the economic sector in the town. Design Problem: This year, designaddvance calls for ideas that reimagine railway stations in X, Y and Z cities beyond being just Transit Hubs and more as nodes of urban activity.

archiecho — Fri, 12 May 2023 03:00:59 +0200

Registration Deadline: Aug 4, 2023; Submission Deadline: Aug 4, 2023 Beyond the permanent, there’s ephemeral architecture: the creation of architecture in a transitory form, which is present for a short time. In the Art Temporary Installation Competition (ATIC), the challenge is to design a temporary installation dedicated to art within the archaeological site of ''Panamá La Vieja''. The competition involves the question of how to create a temporary architecture that coexists and relates to the existing ruins while respecting their identity and historic value.ATIC emphasizes that architecture does not have to be permanent to have a high value; this competition seeks to recall the heritage value of a country by connecting its past with its present through culture and art. For this reason, we invite the contestants to be part of this great challenge: How to create a brief but meaningful work?https://www.newarchcompetitions.com/Read the full post on Bustler

The Urban Revamp Design Challenge

archiecho — Fri, 12 May 2023 01:17:48 +0200

Registration Deadline: May 26, 2023; Submission Deadline: May 26, 2023 A common scenario experienced by rapidly urbanising Indian cities today is that irrespective of their geographical location, level of development and state of economic stability, the quality of life in the public realm is extremely poor. This design challenge has been conceived by Young Leaders for Active Citizenship (YLAC) and Sensing Local in partnership with the Institute of Urban Designers India (IUDI), Curiosity Alliance Foundation, and Kasturi Nagar Residents Welfare Association aims to blend technical expertise with citizen participation to reclaim and transform parts of Bengaluru through the Urban Revamp Design Challenge. The second edition of the initiative aims to give both professionals and students from the field of architecture, urban design, public space design, spatial planning and other allied fields the opportunity to submit proposals to reimagine public spaces in two wards of Bengaluru – CV Raman Nagar (Ward 117) and Padarayanapura (Ward 168). The first edition of the challenge drew nearly 150 participants comprising urban planners, designers and architects. Winning designs were selected through presentations to city officials and experts as well as citizen voting, and the winning teams pitched their ideas to the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) for implementation. The first site for this year’s challenge, CV Raman Nagar builds on the idea of place-making where the aim is to revamp a long-defunct space under and alongside a flyover – an 'urban void', and design it to become more functional and usable by the residents of the neighbourhood. The other site, an active public square at a road intersection in Padarayanapura, builds on the idea of place-keeping, where the aim is to strengthen the existing character and improve the functionality of a happenstance urban square that has organically been appropriated into shared public space and is used by several groups of residents and visitors in the neighbourhood. Entries for the challenge can be submitted as a team of individuals or as a firm/ office. At least one member of the team should be residing in Bengaluru or be able to commute to Bengaluru for the public engagement events (visioning workshop and presentation to the community, if shortlisted). Interested teams can find the design brief, competition and registration details in the following link: www.urbanrevamp.in The deadline for registration is May 26, 2023. The top two entries from each site will be given a prize money of INR 30,000 for first place and INR 20,000 for second place.Read the full post on Bustler

The Last Nuclear Bomb Memorial / Edition #3

archiecho — Tue, 09 May 2023 14:17:47 +0200

Registration Deadline: Jun 26, 2023; Submission Deadline: Dec 6, 2023 With the future in such a state of uncertainty and political relationships more strained than ever, there is one silent threat that could end up being more deadly and dangerous to humanity than a hundred pandemics: nuclear weapons. In 1945, the US bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki, effectively ending World War II and killing well over 100,000 people, the majority of whom were civilians. The bombing of Nagasaki was the second and final time a country deployed a nuclear weapon in combat. However, it wasn’t the last nuclear explosion, as testing of controlled explosions continued for years. On the 75th anniversary of the bombing, Nagasaki Mayor Tomihisa Taue called on Japanese President Shinzo Abe and the central government to sign and ratify the 2017 United Nations Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. However, there has been little if any official progress towards an international ban on nuclear weapons since then. We support the call for a ban on nuclear weapons and as the threat of nuclear bombs is ever present, we are continuing our annual architecture competition to create “The Last Nuclear Bomb Memorial”. The Last Nuclear Bomb Memorial / Edition #3 is the third annual competition in which participants are tasked with creating a memorial located within a decommissioned nuclear weapon testing site. In response to the global silence surrounding the issue of nuclear weapons, participants in The Last Nuclear Bomb Memorial / Edition #3 competition must submit their designs with NO DESCRIPTION TEXT. The architecture ideas must be communicated strictly with visuals. We are asking participants to design a building or structure in which the architecture would do all the talking. PRIZES 3 winning proposals, 2 special award recipients and 6 honourable mentions will be selected. Buildner will award a total of 7,000 € in prize money to competition winners as follows: 1st Prize - 3,000 € 2nd Prize - 1,500 € 3rd Prize - 1,000 € + 6 honourable mentionsBuildner Student Award - 1,000 € + 50 € gift card at ARCHHIVE BOOKS Buildner Sustainable Award - 500 € COMPETITION SCHEDULE Early Bird Registration: APRIL 24 – JUNE 26 Advance Registration: JUNE 27 – SEPTEMBER 3 Last Minute Registration: SEPTEMBER 4 – NOVEMBER 5 Final registration deadline: NOVEMBER 5, 2023 Closing date for submission: DECEMBER 6, 2023 (11:59 p.m. LONDON TIME) Announcement of the winners: JANUARY 26, 2024 More: https://architecturecompetitio...Read the full post on Bustler

Registration Deadline: Jun 30, 2023; Submission Deadline: Jun 30, 2023 BriefGAD Foundation is pleased to announce the launch of an international architecture competition that calls on young architects from around the world to envision a new natural environment based on living in a scenic and magical landscape. Re-Imagining Cappadocia as an Eco-District competition seeks to extend design insight into architecture embedded and in harmony with the Cappadocian landscape as the focus of Eco-District design. Re-Imagining Cappadocia as an Eco-District is the international one-stage competition organized by the GAD Foundation in cooperation with Indigo Group that takes place in the Cappadocia Region of Turkey and aims to draw young professionals with a degree in architecture studies (≤ 35 years old) to propose architecture projects with the purpose of increased earthquake-resistance, sustainability, resilience, efficiency, microclimatic solutions and respect for geological and ecological factors. The competition is set in a typical Anatolian landscape in the Avanos district of the Cappadocia Region of Turkey. Prizes & Mentions • 1st Prize: 5.000€ • 2nd Prize: 3.000€ • 3rd Prize: 1.000€ • 2 Golden Mentions: 500€ each • 10 Honourable Mentions • 30 Finalists Guidelines The main theme of the competition is based on the idea of an “Eco-District” that will host several earthquake-resistant, lightweight, undetectable buildings, structures, and eco-cabins coupled with activities set inside a project area. The vast landscape area will be organized as an Eco-District with agricultural/sustainable/organic production areas, and outdoor activities such as a walking path and zones for physical activity to stimulate exploration and discovery. The Eco-District and primary activities are envisioned to be in and on a network of walking paths and open spaces. The design strategy of the competition will be to retain the natural materials and character of the Cappadocia region, particularly the Avanos region, as a nature reserve. The competition calls for a non-invasive approach to the design of the “Eco-District” where ecosystems are supported, and new construction is minimized, considering many rock-carved dwellings in the Cappadocia and Avanos region flourishing with their scenic beauty and distinctive geomorphological landscape. Requested Material Competitors have to submit a maximum of 3 A1 panels (59,4 × 84.1 cm) landscape or vertically oriented. Panels must contain all the necessary graphic information to explain the project best (title, diagrams, sketches, renderings, model pictures, 3D visualizations, plans, facades, cross-sections, collages, and model photos).

Poster Competition: Towards a Smart(er) Washington, DC

archiecho — Mon, 08 May 2023 21:01:09 +0200

Registration Deadline: May 19, 2023; Submission Deadline: May 19, 2023 Link for registration: https://www.aiadc.com/event/po...The promise of better opportunities and a better quality of life, among many other factors, attracts people towards urban centers - cities. As a result the future cities are facing unimaginable growth and expansion, according to the UN 55% of the global population lives in cities and by 2050 this number is projected to climb to 68%1. The comparable numbers are even higher for the United States, with 83% of its current population living in cities and a projected 89% by 20502.With the continuous growth of the cities new and complex urban issues are also arising. Increasing poverty and environmental degradation within the cities. Parallel to urban growth that’s occurring, society is also making significant advances in technology. The smart city is a concept of utilizing digital technologies to improve and enhance the lives of a city's inhabitants. However so far in most cities, the smart city projects have been limited to transportation, energy management and city infrastructure services. Noticeably absent from the smart city approach are many of the social & environmental challenges that many cities face. This competition seeks to explore ideas on how smart city strategies can be utilized to address key issues that cities are facing today. Washington DC is one of the United States pioneering cities when it comes to growing as a Smart City. The complexities that this city brings upon itself stem from its historical and political relevance, however, in order to keep up with the fast paced nature of today's global economic situations, technological interventions and demand for better city life, DC is growing rapidly.With an influx of real estate development and the push for a smarter, more accessible city, the need to consider the importance of urban design during this growth process is significant.

Designing the Resilient Desert City

archiecho — Fri, 05 May 2023 00:01:04 +0200

Registration Deadline: Jul 1, 2023; Submission Deadline: Jul 23, 2023 Visit aia-phoenixmetro.org for all competition information, registration, and announcements.AbstractUrban desert cities and their communities face a hostile future.The City of Tempe, one of the densest communities in the Phoenix Metropolitan Area, is already a leader in climate action. The City’s 2019 Climate Action Plan (CAP) and subsequent CAP Update in 2022 chart a more sustainable, resilient path for Tempe’s future, with strategies proposed to reduce greenhouse gas and carbon emissions, increase resilience to extreme heat, raise green construction standards, and develop a multi-modal transit network. The adoption of these plans has led to Tempe to become one of 122 global cities to be recognized for climate action leadership by CDP in its 2022 Cities A List.Yet, there is still work to be done.Change at this scale cannot happen overnight. Many of the strategies outlined in the CAP remain on paper only. The Sustainability and Resilience Office partners with City departments, non-profits, businesses, academia, and community-based organizations to build awareness and support for these actions to be codified by the city council, funded through the city budget, and finally implemented in the community. The opportunity to implement these initiatives and standards is now, especially as our landlocked city has a growing population and experiences rapid development in our built environment. The Sustainability and Resilience Commission desires to create more awareness around the City’s sustainability goals and to help residents, businesses, city staff, and partners visualize what their future city may look like if it is to reach the CAP’s aspirations.The time is now to design the resilient communities we need in the future so that we can see the path forward.Goals of the CompetitionThrough the AIA Phoenix Metro 2023 Design Ideas Competition and in partnership with AIA Phoenix Metro and ASLA Arizona, the City of Tempe seeks:To visualize a sustainable, resilient development in the urban desert for the City of Tempe, its residents, and the world at large using the strategies and goals described in the City of Tempe’s CAP.To show the transformative possibilities of the CAP through physical interventions of architecture, landscape architecture, and master planning, ensuring the City and its residents will have a greater understanding of the potential impact of the CAP.To inform future policies and development within Tempe and pilot projects by the City through a vision that responds to our climate reality with optimism, action, and a focus on the local community.To change how we look at the design of our cities by seeing the built environment as an opportunity for creating resilient, human-centric places, meeting the effects of climate change with inspirational solutions instead of despair, and making a more equitable society through our architecture.BriefHow can architecture embody climate resilience, manifesting as a community act by reinforcing sustainability and equity through the built environment?Entrants will develop a concept for the redevelopment of a chosen site in Tempe. All competition entries must include a community Resilience Hub, incorporate green stormwater infrastructure within the overall master plan of the site, and conceptually meet the requirements of the International Green Construction Code (IgCC). Entrants may choose to include any additional program or policies beyond the required elements listed in this brief. Entrants are encouraged to incorporate additional program that serves community needs and further supports the strategies and goals within the Tempe Climate Action Plan. A successful entry will incorporate the various requirements into a high-performing, holistic design solution that is appropriate for an urban desert city.Resilience HubIf disaster strikes, residents must have safe and cool locations to find shelter, and Tempe is building a network of these hubs throughout the city. A resilience hub is a community-serving facility that supports residents and coordinates resource distribution and emergency services. These hubs can be equipped with photovoltaic panels and storage batteries to ensure residents can access power and cooled spaces in major heat events. Entries must include an indoor space for community response that is flexible to provide other community functions outside of heat crisis events.Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI)Green stormwater infrastructure (GSI, also known as low-impact development or LID) is a sustainable approach to stormwater management that utilizes the landscape with native Sonoran Desert ecological plant communities and natural processes to absorb storm runoff and mimics the natural hydrology of an area. This can further reinforce resilience by supporting natural biodiversity, reduce urban heat island effect, and creating cooler micro-climates with shade from tree canopies and v

It can focus on the aesthetic qualities, experimenting and mastering a drawing technique with hyper-realistic outcomes, or it can be an optical deformation, a caricatural interpretation, a distant abstraction of the built architecture.The drawing can strengthen a conventional interpretation of architecture, or explore a new angle, a new point of view, intellectual and/or physical. The Nakagin Capsule Tower can be portrayed as a whole, a part, or a collage of disconnected moments. The entry is completely flexible and adaptable to the participant’s interpretation.LINKRead the full post on Bustler

A New Timepiece for the Railway

archiecho — Tue, 02 May 2023 21:34:55 +0200

Registration Deadline: Jun 8, 2023; Submission Deadline: Jun 13, 2023 The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and the Design Museum (London), have launched a design competition, in partnership with Network Rail, inviting proposals for the design of a timepiece to be used across the British rail network. Anthony Dewar, Head of Buildings and Architecture at Network Rail, explained:“The British railway was integral to the standardisation of time across the world but unlike other countries, Britain did not implement a standard railway clock. We hope this competition will put that right with the creation of a timepiece that can be adapted for use across the whole rail network - from stations to maintenance delivery units, railway control centres to train depots. “The winning entrant will need to be an inspired design, which can be cost-effectively implemented at scale and adaptable to a wide variety of settings. This a unique opportunity to create a design that could have a highly visible and enduring legacy.” Justin McGuirk, Chief Curator, the Design Museum & Director of Future Observatory commented:“An awareness of time is crucial to the experience of being in a train station. This is an extraordinary opportunity to redesign that experience. Instead of everyone being ensconced in their phones, how can we return time to its central presence in stations, with civic purpose and a strong sense of place? The Design Museum is delighted to be collaborating with Network Rail on this international competition.’’ The competition is open internationally to practitioners within the fields of art, design, engineering and/or architecture. Submissions are also welcome from students from these disciplines. Collaboration is encouraged between individuals and organisations of different size, expertise and experience. The competition brief has been developed in collaboration with industry design experts including Margaret Calvert, Crispin Jones and Violetta Boxill, who will all form part of an Evaluation Panel.

Registration Deadline: Sep 29, 2023; Submission Deadline: Sep 29, 2023 The Dewan Award For Architecture returns and Invites Architects and Designers to Submit Their Ideas to Develop Basra Waterfront and Dakeer Island.Dewan Architects + Engineers has been synonymous with the Middle East’s booming architectural design sector for four decades. The multi-award-winning firm boasts world-class talents, including architects, engineers, designers, planners, builders, makers, thinkers, and visionaries. Dewan raises the bar for design across the region and encourages and empowers young architects worldwide to respond to design challenges with the launch of the 2023 architecture competition in Basra.The Tamayouz Excellence Award champions and celebrates the best of global architecture and is an independent initiative with no political affiliations. It’s sponsored by internationally recognised cultural and academic institutions and dedicated to supporting transformational projects that support local communities and global challenges.Developing Dakeer Island, Basra Waterfront The Dewan Award for Architecture 2023 envisions the Development of Dakeer Island into a thriving urban destination with a vibrant recreational and commercial waterfront allowing the city to celebrate its maritime heritage and fishing industry. Basra is the economic capital of Iraq and the country's primary seaport, an area spanning 20,000 square kilometres with an estimated population of 3.2 million people. The newly designed island will include urban links connecting Dakeer to mainland Basra and be an inclusive and accessible waterfront for locals and visitors. Located on the Northeast side of Basra, the British forces established Dakeer Island as a shipyard for the flourishing naval trade and transportation activities in 1918. It was an essential river port with direct connections to The Gulf, significant waterways, trade and fisheries. The British forces built the basin during WWI for their campaign to seize Baghdad from the Ottomans. Despite damage, it survived both Gulf wars and now lies in a state of disrepair and neglect. Low water levels have since impeded ships' entry, resulting in its abandonment. Today, Dakeer is a waste dumping ground and home to wholesale and storage warehouses and illegal settlements.The Dewan Award for Architecture 2023 Mohamed Al Assam, the founder and chairman of Dewan, has been involved with the Tamayouz Excellence Awards since its inception as both an avid supporter, a member of the advisory board and a jury member for various competitions. The Tamayouz Excellence Awards celebrate the best architecture worldwide and the achievements of individuals who have made significant contributions to humanity and society. Participants in this year's Dewan Award are encouraged to provide solutions to transform Dakeer Island into a useable, influential and cosmopolitan recreational waterfront that contributes to Basra's residents' well-being and quality of life. It should establish new urban standards for long-term developments that encourage growth, sociable responsibility and sustainability. Dewan strives to empower young architects worldwide and provide crucial guidance to excel in the industry. The young architects and designers also gain unrivalled knowledge in real project scenarios and experiences at Dewan Architects + Engineers.Award ObjectivesArchitects, students, engineers, and designers can participate in the Dewan Award as individuals or as part of a multidisciplinary team. They will need to present an explicit declaration of conditions and parameters of the urban and cultural project by identifying local challenges, opportunities and culture. Judges will consider aspirational, transformative and original ideas that respond to Dakeer Island, the clarity of the design process and the overall plan’s long-term positive effects. The proposed design must include technical justification, accessibility, safety, security, durability, and environmental impact. Judges of the single-stage competition will identify the most appropriate proposal that best translates and satisfies the award’s objectives.Tamayouz Excellence AwardsAmmar Al Assam, CEO of Dewan Architects, understands the importance of championing different backgrounds, cultures, visions and experiences.

Resilient Communities: Designing for a sustainable and equitable future

archiecho — Mon, 20 Mar 2023 23:17:54 +0100

Registration Deadline: May 25, 2023; Submission Deadline: May 25, 2023 Premise: The theme for this competition is "Resilient Communities" and it is inspired by the trending topics of sustainability, circular economy, and social equity. The competition is open to all architects, designers, and students who are interested in creating innovative solutions to the challenges of the 21st century. By promoting sustainable and equitable design, the competition can help foster more resilient communities that can better withstand and recover from a range of disruptions, including climate change, natural disasters, and pandemics. The competition also provides a platform for sharing best practices and inspiring others to adopt more sustainable and inclusive design strategies in their own work. A panel of experts in the fields of architecture, sustainability, and social equity will judge the competition. The winning design will receive a cash prize of $2,000 and will be featured in an exhibition and publication.IssueIn recent years, the world has experienced a range of challenges and disruptions that have highlighted the need for resilient communities. Climate change, natural disasters, and pandemics have all had a significant impact on communities around the world, and have exposed the vulnerabilities of our built environment and social systems. At the same time, there are growing concerns about social inequality and exclusion, as well as the impact of rapid urbanization and population growth on our cities and communities. These challenges require innovative solutions that can help communities become more resilient, adaptable, and sustainable. Resilient communities are those that are able to withstand and recover from these challenges and disruptions, while also promoting social equity, environmental sustainability, and economic prosperity. This requires a holistic approach to community development that incorporates a range of strategies and interventions, including sustainable design, community engagement, and social and economic empowerment. By designing and building resilient communities, we can help ensure that our cities and communities are able to thrive in the face of uncertainty and change and that all members of society have access to the resources and opportunities they need to live healthy, happy, and fulfilling lives. ObjectiveIt should serve as a hub for social, cultural, and educational activities. It should be a place where people can come together to learn, create, and connect with each other. The centre should also be designed to be flexible and adaptable to changing needs and conditions. The site is located in a dense urban area with a total of 2,000 square meters. The community centre should occupy at least 1,000 square meters and should be designed to complement the surrounding urban fabric.

Call for papers: Collective Landscape Futures symposium

archiecho — Mon, 20 Mar 2023 23:17:51 +0100

Registration Deadline: Apr 3, 2023; Submission Deadline: Apr 3, 2023 Abstracts are invited for the Collective Landscape Futures symposium on 18-19th May 2023. A 2-day interdisciplinary symposium to be held online and at University of Greenwich, 10 Stockwell Street, London SE10 9BD, UKSymposium rationale:Landscapes have always been defined through their collective relationships – between people and other living things, material objects and ephemeral entities, and situated actions and grounded processes. These are worlds produced through socio-material entanglements that can be read as common practices, shared experiences, and public concerns. Landscapes are only possible through the combined contribution of humans and non-humans, interacting, sharing between, providing for, and making with. However, in recognising prevailing contradictions in many landscape practices; across contemporary art, architecture, and film; we see the potential of landscapes being undermined through the perpetual claiming and reframing by and of individuals. Whether in god-like views from above or the mirror and mirage that landscapes can create, landscape practices too often foreground hegemony and embolden individuals with power, while simultaneously concealing the actions from which they are produced.This symposium critically reflects on dominant landscape techniques, discusses landscapes that are marginalised through globalising market forces, and focusses on the collective nature of landscapes – from planetary climates to intimate private spaces. It investigates the common, shared, and public endeavours that produce the world of which we are part.The Collective Landscape Futures symposium follows three years of critical roundtable conversations – hosted in London with colleagues from around the world – exploring the future of landscape and urban practices. From here we draw into focus the “collective” nature of future landscapes through a 2-day interdisciplinary symposium of conversations, speculations, and debate. Proposed contributions: Papers are invited for this 2-day interdisciplinary symposium to investigate the potential of collective landscapes. Papers can explore the following questions or develop alternative critiques of the symposium theme:How can the multiple human and non-human entities that together produce landscapes be brought into the foreground of our design practices?What future collective landscapes can be anticipated when different techniques, cultures, histories, and relations are brought into play?How can collective challenges, such as the climate crisis and urban inequities, be addressed through reimagining the common, shared, and public capacity of landscapes?Please submit abstracts of 300-500 words in length here. Include the paper title, author’s name(s), email address(es), and a 100-word biography. The deadline for submitting proposals is Monday 3 April.Notification of accepted papers by Friday 7 April.Selected speakers to provide extended abstracts (1000 words) by Monday 1 May.Papers should be timed as being 20 minutes in length.Organisers are in conversation with publishers to publish a book that will include a selection of edited papers/chapters. Thursday 18th May 10:00am – 5:00pm [UK time] [Online]Friday 19th May 10:00am – 5:00pm [UK time] [London and Online], with reception afterwardsAttendance is free but spaces are limited and must be reserved in advance here.Organisers:Anushka AthiqueDuncan GoodwinAlexis LiuEd WallThe symposium is organised by the Department of Landscape Architecture and Urbanism at the University of Greenwich, with support from the Institute of Inclusive Communities and Environments.Landscape Architecture and Urbanism programmes are focused on the speculative design of future landscapes and cities informed by site-focused research.

URBAN REGENERATION OF THE CIBIN MARKET AREA

archiecho — Mon, 20 Mar 2023 23:17:48 +0100

Registration Deadline: Jun 2, 2023; Submission Deadline: Jun 2, 2023 The Order of Architects in Romania (OAR) and the Contracting Authority – The Municipality of Sibiu are glad to announce the official launch of the „Urban Regeneration of the Cibin Market Area” International Design Competition.The purpose of this competition is to select, in order to award the design contract, the best project for the urban regeneration of the Cibin Market Area in Sibiu. The process of the urban regeneration of the Cibin Market acts on three levels: on the one hand, it aims to redesign the area currently allocated to the Cibin Market, complementing the main function of the agri-food market with a set of complementary functions. On the other hand, it brings into question the historical value of this area and how the proposed insertions enhance it. Finally, it seeks to optimize the relationship of this area with the historic center and the Cibin river by increasing the quality of the public spaces. The competition area is located at the North-Western edge of the historic center of Sibiu, near the Cibin River. It consists of the site of the Cibin Market, together with the adjacent streets that border it, as well as the streets that connect this site to the historic core and the cross-connection between them. The project offers an opportunity to redefine the usage and perception of a currently unstructured site but defined by a dynamic evolution from a historical perspective. The investment objectives assumed by the Contracting Authority are: (1) the urban regeneration of the Cibin Market area through the construction of the building that will house the agri-food market and the Cibin Market car parking, together with the urban development of these public spaces and (2) the urban development of the area linking the Cibin Market to the historic center by integrating the historic value of the area and by a clever dialogue of the proposed solution with the historic fabric and the Cibin River. The Contracting Authority of the competition is The Municipality of Sibiu, the beneficiary of the project which will be contracted following the competition. The competition is organized by the Romanian Order of Architects (OAR), in accordance with the OAR Good Practices Guide for Design Competitions (edited in Romanian – Ghidul de bune practici în organizarea concursurilor de soluții de arhitectură și urbanism OAR, published in 2018 and revised în 2022), in compliance with the provisions of the legislation in force regarding the award of public procurement contracts. The Design Competition is a public, single-stage competition open to Romania, all European Union countries, the European Economic Area, and the Swiss Confederation. The design competition is organized as an independent procedure, in accordance with art. 105 letter a) of Law no. 98/2016 regarding public procurement, and subsequently, pursuant to provisions under art. 104 para. (7) of the same law, the design services contract is to be awarded to the winner of the competition, following a negotiation procedure without prior publication of a participation announcement.

Green Tower Hong Kong | A competition for multifunctional skyscraper

archiecho — Mon, 20 Mar 2023 11:34:51 +0100

Registration Deadline: Jun 25, 2023; Submission Deadline: Jun 25, 2023 For many years people have perceived the world in a linear manner. They wondered what’s behind the horizon and followed their desires of land conquering until they clashed with someone else’s idea to do the same. As the borders fluctuated, some areas appeared to be more desirable than others and the architecture had to maneuver its way to stack up growing masses. And while our imagination started to shoot up towards the sky, we sometimes seemed to have lost our way creating crammed, confined spaces that were more similar to coffins than areas where one would like to live. Thankfully, there is a better solution on the horizon (how ironic!) as skillful, innovative and clever designs are navigating towards sustainable urban spaces that combine the best of compact, practical planning with agri-tecture. Hong Kong and its challenges Hong Kong is one of the most vibrant and dynamic cities in the world. Some view it as a skyscraper heaven full of lavish lifestyle, whereas some notice obstacles related to living in such high density. And while the city is still viewed as one of the wealthiest in the world, it faces a number of challenges. Hong Kong’s most pressing issues are overpopulation, housing crisis, air and water pollution, and a lack of sufficient food and energy supply, especially due to the fact that its economy was severely damaged by the pandemic. Geographically, Hong Kong consists largely of steep hillsides. Since traditional farming requires a large amount of land the local production is only able to complement the imported foods to meet the consumption needs. And because import intensifies the existing issues (cost of living and pollution) there is a growing demand for innovative and sustainable solutions that can help the city meet the needs of its residents Design challenge This architecture competition is exclusively for architecture students and young architects, and seeks to design a pioneering, self-sufficient residential skyscraper that utilizes the idea of vertical farming and addresses the challenges that Hong Kong faces nowadays. The designed building should provide a unique and cutting-edge living experience for its residents, fulfilling all the needs of modern societies and include innovative solutions to the challenges of urban agriculture and sustainable living. It should be a visually striking and memorable building, with a strong connection to the surrounding city and a sense of place. We would like to encourage all participants to search for universal ideas that could be also implemented in other cities. Look for concepts that can be beneficial in many different locations and rethink how contemporary high-rise buildings are supposed to look, work and influence modern cities and their inhabitants.

Come Home Chicago: Missing Middle Infill Housing Competition

archiecho — Fri, 10 Mar 2023 23:00:59 +0100

Registration Deadline: Jan 9, 2023; Submission Deadline: Jan 9, 2023 In cooperation with the City of Chicago, the Chicago Architecture Center is excited to announce the Come Home Initiative, which aims to reverse decades of disinvestment and depopulation and transform the urban fabric of Chicago’s South and West Side neighborhoods.Come Home is a design competition and wealth building initiative that will support “missing middle density” infill housing in Auburn Gresham, Bronzeville, East Garfield Park, Englewood, Humboldt Park and Woodlawn. Our juried Request for Qualifications invites architects to reimagine Chicago’s single family home, two- and three-flat, rowhouse and six-flat typologies to better meet 21st century lifestyles.Ultimately, Come Home seeks to create a community development model that will attract and welcome current and former Chicago residents “back home.” The initiative is based around three key areas:The City’s identification and packaging of vacant lots and land management for redevelopmentThe identification of new designs for infill housing, with an emphasis on “missing middle density" (through a juried competition)Strengthening pride of place in key neighborhoodsThese housing investments will build on the more than $750 million corralled in taxpayer money and private investment for the rebuilding of Chicago’s historically underserved South and West Side neighborhoods. What’s more, it provides the opportunities the professional design community has long sought to leverage design as a tool for building local wealth and improving quality of life. Through it all, the reinvestment work will continue to prioritize local talent, particularly from BIPOC communities and embrace proven tenets of design excellence.As part of Come Home, the City is committing to the delivery of 30-100 housing units across the six focus communities.https://www.architecture.org/learn/resources/come-home/Read the full post on Bustler

Tiny Library 2023 Architecture Competition

archiecho — Fri, 10 Mar 2023 19:51:53 +0100

Registration Deadline: Jun 15, 2023; Submission Deadline: Jun 23, 2023 As the world is continuously transforming and expanding, the amount of data and information created every day is also increasing constantly. Human intellect today is expected to evolve at the same rate as our world to continue our journey into the future. Despite all the information, reading and self-learning remain the most powerful tools available to mankind to consume knowledge. Learning bolsters awareness, exposure and productivity, which in turn results into development. Despite its importance, education is still inaccessible to many communities in remote locations around the world. Civilization all across the globe has taken a major blow economically post the pandemic. From a substantial decline in income to an increase in the unemployment rate, the fear of facing a financial meltdown has been spreading in most parts of the world. While we face a future that we cannot foresee, the ability to adapt and learn is key. Self-learning, especially through reading, is crucial for the society’s development. It is important to power the growth of like-minded networks. It is necessary to have places promoting education and self-learning to educate the local population within the closest proximity. It will make them accessible to gainful employment opportunities in their home towns and will thereby avoid the need for migration elsewhere. Opportunity: Books are considered to be the torchbearers for knowledge, helping mankind develop its intellect and create a world that is constantly developing. With an aim to make education more accessible, we have transformed books to digital, audio and visual formats. Despite all these efforts, books in any format are still inaccessible to various communities across our planet. It is now utterly important to focus on this lack of accessibility and prioritize towards creating a source of knowledge to isolated communities. Libraries as an educational incubator is a space that not only sheds light on conventional means of knowledge but also encourages its users to interact, share ideas and grow together. Rather than accepting urban migration as a given, a library can be designed with an aim to restore dignity and induce development. Can we rethink a library of the 21st-century public space where knowledge is not limited to books? Can we ignite the new age movement of learning? “A room without books is like a body without a soul.” - Marcus Tullius Cicero (Roman statesman and philosopher) Challenge: Participants are to design a Tiny Library optimized for 75 users with engaging multifunctional spaces for all ages and spatial experience. The Tiny Library would be equipped with traditional reading material along with modern formats like ebooks, audiobooks, audio-visual books etc. The space would be designed as a centralized think tank for the local communities with a focus on activities and functions of public interactions and community development.Participants should consider affordability and optimum use of space while designing. The designed space should be augmented to hold a maximum number of books in a limited space. The structure should not exceed 300 sq.mt of built-up area. The proposed design should also be easy to maintain. The proposal should be iconic, inviting, and creating a statement of its own on the chosen site. The proposed design should have contact between humans and nature. The proposed designs can be visualized as mobile or stationary. One could also develop the given space as a flexible module that can be replicated so as to adapt to different site conditions making it versatile in nature. Participants will be required to provide a justification for their design choices. The designed spaces should be innovative, encourage self-learning as well as strengthen the communal spirit. Energy saving and sustainability should be given a thought. We encourage the participants to develop their programs. The space designed should not be limited to the standard activities viz. reading and self-learning space, sanitation space, administration, reception or information desk. The design should provoke innovative activities that stimulate and accelerate learning. Site Selection: Rural populations across the globe face a mass exodus of its young population owing to the lack of education, health care, employment opportunities among many others. Participants are to choose a site in a rural or remote context for the proposal, wherever they feel accessibility to knowledge may change the existing circumstance. The design should be well integrated into the context. The site selected should be in a dire need of connecting to education and learning. The site should justify the participant’s design. Awards:Prizes of total USD 4000, broken down as follows: 1st Prize: USD 2000 + Certificate + Publication 2nd Prize: USD 1200 + Certificate + Publication 3rd Prize: USD 800 + Certi

Open Call: International Competition for Conceptual Design of the Greenway around Xili Lake (Phase I)

archiecho — Mon, 20 Feb 2023 16:34:49 +0100

Registration Deadline: Mar 8, 2023; Submission Deadline: Mar 8, 2023 I. Project Background The construction of the Greenway around Xili Lake is an important part of implementing President Xi Jinping’s thought on ecological civilization, applying the green development spirit of the 20th National Congress, firmly establishing the concept that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, and building a beautiful and healthy China; it is also a powerful measure to deepen the construction of ecological civilization in Shenzhen, optimize the urban natural landscape pattern, let the public enjoy the green ecological well-being, and promote the green and coordinated development of the city. In Shenzhen Municipal Government Work Report (2022), it clearly states that Shenzhen will build a first-class livable city, construct a park city, implement the "Mountain-Sea-City Connection Plan", and connect the urban ecological structure of "one ridge, one belt and twenty corridors". As a typical high-density mega-city, greenways in Shenzhen are of great significance in promoting the integration of ecological, living and production space and building a healthy living environment. The greenway construction needs to firmly grasp the new situation, new mission, and new requirements, from the perspective of the whole area and all elements, respect the authenticity of natural ecology, adhere to the people-centered principle, carry out overall planning and layout based on the requirements of land space governance, build a whole-area greenway network interweaving the blue and green, clearly define the overall construction and management requirements and recent greenway construction plans, accelerate the realization of the construction goal of building 10-thousand-kilometer greenway network in Shenzhen, promote the greenway construction with high standards and quality, create greenways that highlight the mountain-sea resources and urban characteristics of Shenzhen and represent the “Shenzhen Brand”, give full play to Shenzhen’s demonstration and leading role in greenway construction and management as a high-density city, and help Shenzhen build a beautiful and livable park city. Xili Reservoir, also known as Xili Lake, located in the northern area of Nanshan District and at the southern foot of Yangtai Mountain in Shenzhen, is a source reservoir for drinking water to millions of people in Nanshan and Bao’an districts, and has the functions of flood control and water source regulation and storage. Also, it is the water transfer hub of the East River Water Source Project in Shenzhen, which belongs to the urban drinking water source conservation area. Xili Lake ranked first among “lakes and rivers” in the early development of Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, surrounded by Kylin Villa, Wildlife Zoo, Xili Golf and Country Club and so on, making it the earliest resort in Shenzhen. In 2003, after nearly 20 years of development, its function as an area for higher education was becoming more and more mature in Xili Area, gathering Tsinghua University, Peking University, HIT, SUSTECH, Shenzhen University and other universities. In 2019, the area was upgraded again. Aiming to become a world-class science and education city, Xili Lake International Science and Education Town has been expanded with the construction of Shibilong, Yanqing River, Baishiling, Liuxiandong headquarters bases, Xili HSR New City and other areas.Project Location II. Design ContentsThe overall route of the greenway project encircles Xili Lake, along Shahe West Road, Xili Lake Road, Qinyuan Road and other municipal roads, and across Lishui River, Baimang River, Makan River, Dakan River, Yanqing River and other rivers, with a total length of about 15km. The greenway length included in this competition scope is about 12km, and the project investment is about 1.2 billion yuan in RMB (excluding the demonstration section). Construction of the demonstration section (it starts by connecting with Yanqing River Greenway, and then passes through Kylin Villa and Zijing Villa to Xili Reservoir Management Office, with a total length of 3.75km) has already been commenced and is not included in this Competition, but should be considered as a whole in the design process.Work Scope of the Greenway around Xili Lake There are three levels of work scope included in this International Competition, and it requires the development of a comprehensive conceptual design proposal that is creative and can guide the implementation. 1. Conceptual Planning Analyze and interpret the project, and put forward the conceptual design proposal for the greenway masterplanning, including planning connection, project positioning, design concept, landscape structure, crowd analysis, activity planning, ecosystem, water source protection, planting planning, traffic connection, facility layout, operation and maintenance, phased developmen

A HOUSE FOR PABLO PICASSO

archiecho — Thu, 16 Feb 2023 19:52:02 +0100

Registration Deadline: Apr 1, 2023; Submission Deadline: Apr 8, 2023 A HOUSE FOR PABLO PICASSO On April 8th, 2023, there will be 50 years since he died. Picasso & Prehistory… The “Effect” Picasso… titles… titles of the exhibitions planned for 2023. The truth is, it is hard to ignore Picasso and a visit to the Picasso Museum in Paris would make one realize the immense force and prolificity of this communist, owner of at least one castle. So how would A HOUSE FOR PABLO PICASSO look like ? First, perhaps, we should ask: HOW WOULD A PICASSO ARCHITECT be ? Let’s imagine a PICASSO ARCHITECT. Let’s imagine that architect would be me / us. And let’s begin to imagine architectures, among them, A HOUSE. A HOUSE FOR PABLO PICASSO. Of course there were, and maybe still are, protean architects. But specifically a PICASSO ARCHITECT there isn’t. Yet. So we invite A PICASSO HOUSE, a VIVID ONE! A HOUSE DEDICATED TO PEACE ? Maybe, if we consider the deadly war now and Picasso’s white pigeon, symbol of peace. A HOUSE FOR A MINOTAUR ? Most surely, since Picasso was himself a Minotaur. The Picasso universe is vast… the sources of inspiration, vast. Our imagination, imagining a Picasso House, should be vast too. Can we do it ? It won’t be easy. How to be an architect OF THIS VASTNESS ? HOW TO HANDLE THE WHOLE FIELD OF HUMAN EXISTENCE, thus ? And how to be children-like ? We remember that Picasso said that he learned to paint like Raphael in four years and to paint like a child in a lifetime. LET’S BE CHILDREN. LET’S DESCEND WITHIN OURSELVES to that level undisturbed by everything we learned. Can we do it ? DESIGN A HOUSE FOR PABLO PICASSO! A HOUSE FOR THE QUINTESSENTIAL ARTIST OF THE 20TH CENTURY. Now that there are 50 years since his death. Even the gods, it seems, die… Please send us your work on two sheets forma A1, oriented vertically. Please send it digitally to info@icarch.org. We will publish all the works received on our website. Please send your work by April 8th, 2023 and please register by April 1st, 2023. If you have any question, please contact us.

Reimagining the Dallas Museum of Art International Design Competition

archiecho — Thu, 16 Feb 2023 19:51:58 +0100

Registration Deadline: Mar 15, 2023; Submission Deadline: Mar 15, 2023 Design competition starts process to revitalize the Dallas Museum of Art (DMA), one of North America’s leading art museums.US, international, emerging and established firms invited to participate A public exhibition of design concepts will be held in summer 2023 Initiative will expand the Museum’s gallery space with new addition(s) and reorganize the Museum’s internal spaces, circulation, and entrances, while also upgrading the existing building No design required at the first stage − architect-led multidisciplinary teams asked to submit details of project approach, team composition, and experience Five finalist teams to receive US$50,000 honorarium for concept designs along with up to US$10,000 expenses Deadline for first stage responses is Wednesday, March 15, 2023 Full details of the competition and how to enter are available on the dedicated competition website at https//:competitions.malcolmreading.com/dallasmuseumofart. The Dallas Museum of Art (DMA) and design competition organizers Malcolm Reading Consultants (MRC) launch the global search for a dedicated and gifted architect-led team to reimagine the Museum’s campus. The architecture competition is open to all local, regional, national, and international firms. Located on a prime site in downtown Dallas, the DMA, the anchor of the Dallas Arts District, seeks an architectural reinvention to enable the Museum to better serve the diverse city of Dallas and create additional gallery space to accommodate its expanding collection including several forthcoming bequests that will add thousands of works. The competition program, which will strengthen the DMA’s work with its communities and reaffirm the Museum’s connection to surrounding neighborhoods, envisages an addition/s that would add flexible galleries. The Museum also requires a reorganization of internal space, circulation, and entrances, as well as a comprehensive modernization framed within a thoughtful sustainability strategy. The competition will feature a public exhibition in summer 2023 of the concepts created by the shortlisted firms. The DMA looks forward to inviting the community to provide feedback at that time. Opened in 1984, the original campus by Edward Larrabee Barnes was surrounded by empty lots and warehouses. Barnes’ austere Modernist design in Indiana limestone forefronted elegance and calm dignity. Today, the DMA needs to re-present and enliven its spaces to relate to a more open and inclusive society with changing visitor expectations. The estimated project budget is circa US$150-175m. The Museum will look to both public and private funding sources with a funding campaign due to launch later this year. Competition format The official language of the competition is US English. No design is required at the first stage — rather designers will need to study the Search Statement (available on the competition website) and submit their approach to the project, team composition and relevant experience, as well as company details, through a digital form. The competition requires integrated multidisciplinary design teams comprising as a minimum: lead design architect, landscape architect, exhibition designer, and engineering disciplines including structural, services and sustainability. Five teams will be shortlisted, and each will receive an honorarium of US$50,000 and expenses of up to US$10,000 for their design work when the competition concludes with the selection of the winner. Non-Texan US and international teams should have a team member registered to practice in the State of Texas; the competition encourages creative design collaborations. The finalists’ proposals will be judged by the DMA’s Architect Selection Committee, comprised of community members. The deadline for first stage responses is: 10:00 CDT (GMT-5) Wednesday, March 15, 2023. The competition’s second stage will start in spring 2023; the winner announcement is expected in summer 2023.

A New Frontier: The Contemporary Border Crossing

archiecho — Wed, 08 Feb 2023 21:17:54 +0100

Registration Deadline: Jun 30, 2023; Submission Deadline: Jun 30, 2023 Border crossing involves a change of state; the crossing of a barrier between two nations. The nature and meaning of this barrier are very specific to its location and the different characters of the nations involved. Borders can mark dramatic transitions between different cultures, political systems, economies, and levels of freedom. They range from open and undefended to closed and heavily militarized.In many places around the world, borders are under stress and evolving to respond to war, migration pressures, the ebb and flow of political alliances, the creation and removal of trade barriers, the threat of terrorism, the movement of illegal drugs and weapons, and the spread of disease. Border crossing architecture is the physical manifestation of the balance between evolving security concerns and the desire to welcome visitors and newcomers while symbolically marking the entry into a new country. The Canadian Academy of Architecture for Justice (CAAJ) invites architecture students to speculate on these issues in a design competition for a new border crossing. Submissions are welcomed from either studio groups or individuals. The design will be evaluated by a jury of experts, architects and industry professionals. Participants are highly encouraged to explore a wide spectrum of architectural responses from functional and practical at one end to philosophical and social at the other, including ways in which this building or complex could be integrated into the surrounding context and community, act as a catalyst for building a positive relationship between two nations, and address what a border entry means in today’s context. First prize is $3,000 CAD, second and third prizes are $1,000 CAD each. Please see the competition website for details: https://www.caaj.ca/a-new-fron...Read the full post on Bustler

archiecho — Tue, 31 Jan 2023 13:34:46 +0100

Registration Deadline: Mar 27, 2023; Submission Deadline: Sep 4, 2023 The Earth is in a chaotic and confusing state right now, with the future of our society not entirely clear. But in a world of global pandemics, climate change, wars and a constant cost of living crisis, now is the time to reflect on the positive aspects of humanity and its many great achievements. The Pavilion Of Humanity: First Contact architecture ideas competition tasks participants with designing a structure encapsulating the best and brightest of our species in a way that, should we ever be visited by other life forms, would allow them to learn about our achievements in a single space. In the same way the Pioneer Plaques, placed on board the 1972 Pioneer 10 and 1973 Pioneer 11 spacecrafts, tell a pictorial story of humanity, the Pavilion of Humanity should represent the human race through architecture. The Pioneer Plaques included figures of a man and a woman, the sun and galactic landmarks, a schematic diagram of the Solar System, and a silhouette of the spacecraft. These drawings were designed to give extraterrestrials a basic understanding of humanity and the Earth. Participants are asked to choose a site of their liking anywhere in the world, and as long as the structure is located on Earth and obeys the basic laws of physics, anything else goes. This is an opportunity for architecture and design enthusiasts to stretch the limits of their imagination and reflect on the greatest and most influential achievements of humanity. What would you be most proud to show extraterrestrial visitors and how would you want to communicate our greatest accomplishments through architecture?

SWIMMING STADIUM. Olympic Swimming Pool for Taranto 2026 & XX Mediterranean Games

archiecho — Tue, 24 Jan 2023 19:00:55 +0100

Registration Deadline: Mar 1, 2023; Submission Deadline: Mar 1, 2023 The Organizing Committee of the 20th edition of the Mediterranean Games - Taranto 2026 ‐ has promoted a two‐stage tendering for the realization, from scratch of the Swimming Stadium in Taranto and the recovery of the external area.The general objective of this International Design Contest is to start the construction of the Swimming Stadium for the XX Mediterranean Games 2026 in Taranto, in other words to allow competitive swimming activities on an international level connected with the creation of an architecture that enhances the landscape context and the historical pre‐existences. Taranto 2026 is an opportunity to change the image of the city and of the entire Ionian Arch, to give different life prospects to the citizens and to make the city more welcoming, for its inhabitants and consequently also for the massive incoming tourist flows. During the event, 32 sports will involve 25 facilities for the competitions and 15 for the training. A big part of the event will take place in the existing structures, in the perspective of a regional sports assets recovery. Only a few structures will be built from scratch and, through an integrated design with the local heritage, they can become iconic architectures for the city, representative of a process of transformation and renewal: a Swimming Stadium, a Federal Nautical Center and a multidisciplinary Sports Center. Sporting infrastructures play a strategic role in the urban and functional organization of the cities. These are architectures that also have a function as social aggregators with identity values and enhancement of the sense civic duty. A city with many sports facilities has repercussions on the promotion of health and sociality. These belong to the category of essential urban "services". The Area for the Swimming Stadium straddles an important jump in altitude, and this configuration of the soil, will allow the construction of a bridge‐building between the level of the road and the sea level. The project makes accessible, tangibly and through the creation of a series of optical cones, a coastal area not currently in use. Except for important urban tracts, such as the seafront “Vittorio Emanuele III”, the multiple and different sea fronts of the city of Taranto are often underused, or occluded by other latent resources, such as the buildings and properties of the Navy. The sea is recognized as a great opportunity for the redevelopment of the city: the sea as an extraordinary and diversified "endowment of public blue". The Swimming Stadium is seen as one of those projects capable to recover an important stretch of coast, now abandoned, and return it to civic uses. The overall size of the area necessary for the construction of the new Stadio del Nuoto is about 5,000 square meters for the indoor pool, about 4000 square meters for the outdoor pool; for a total of approximately 9,000 square meters, which can be spread over several levels by exploiting the changes in altitude and the irregularity of the ground. The swimming sports facility must therefore be equipped with two swimming pools, one indoor and one outdoor, which must comply with the minimum standards for the "Olympic Games" and the conduct of the Swimming and Water Polo disciplines, giving a more complete offer both for free time but above all for sport at a competitive level. The designers will have to evaluate and adopt solutions that contemplate building envelopes capable of creating positive effects on environmental parameters (reduction of the heat island, better management of rainwater, absorption of air pollutants) and that reduce the consumption that weighs on the management of the sports facility (winter heating of the pool room, air changes, water management in the pool). The containment of energy consumption will be essential for an economically and ecologically sustainable management. The main goal will be the realization of a greater environmental comfort of users, having the maximization of energy containment and lower operating costs in relation to consumption and maintenance.Competition website: https://piattaforma.concorsidiprogettazione.it/concorso-di-progettazione/dettagli/78 Organization Website: https://taranto-2026.it/en/Contact e-mail: info@taranto-2026.it Read the full post on Bustler

Museum of Emotions / Edition #3

archiecho — Wed, 18 Jan 2023 12:51:50 +0100

Registration Deadline: Mar 17, 2023; Submission Deadline: Aug 31, 2023 It may not be your first instinct when entering a building to consider how it makes you feel, but architecture has always had a big impact on emotions. Different spaces are designed to make its inhabitants feel different things; offices can make you feel energised and productive, art galleries can make you feel thoughtful and curious, and museums can make you feel calm and intrigued. Each of these spaces are completely different from each other and are far more than just a building. As part of a series of annual architecture competitions, the Museum of Emotions competition is tasking participants with using architecture as a tool to bring out different emotions. They are being asked to design a museum that includes two separate halls that bring out contrasting emotions - one inducing negative emotions, and the other inducing positive emotions. Participants are free to choose the specific emotions they incite with their designs - fear, anger, anxiety, love, happiness, laughter, etc. The purpose of the Museum of Emotions is to use architecture as the primary tool to create emotional states, through consideration of the scales of the spaces, the journey through the space, colour, lighting, and material choice. As this is an ideas competition, participants are free to choose any site location, real or imaginary, as well as the size of their structure. Museum of Emotions / Edition #3 is one of the Buildners' silent competitions, in which participants must communicate their ideas without the use of any text. The design concept and thinking behind it must all be communicated solely through the use of visuals. PRIZES 3 winning proposals, 2 special award recipients and 6 honourable mentions will be selected. Buildner will award a total of 7,000 € in prize money to competition winners as follows: 1st Prize - 3,000 € 2nd Prize - 1,500 € 3rd Prize - 1,000 € + 6 honourable mentionsBuildner Student Award - 1000 € + 50 € gift card at ARCHHIVE BOOKS Buildner Sustainability Award - 500 € COMPETITION SCHEDULE Early Bird Registration: January 16 – March 17 Advance Registration: March 18 – May 19 Last Minute Registration: May 20 – July 21 Final registration deadline: July 21, 2023 Closing date for submission: August 31, 2023 (11:59pm LONDON TIME) Announcement of the winners: October 9, 2023 More: https://architecturecompetitio...

Open Call: Jerusalem Design Week 2023

archiecho — Wed, 18 Jan 2023 02:34:58 +0100

Registration Deadline: Feb 1, 2023; Submission Deadline: Feb 1, 2023 Jerusalem Design Week invites a range of creative interpretations on its annual theme, ‘Lies and Falsehoods’, from designers, architects, artists, and tech-savvy experts worldwide. Those submitting a project for consideration should interpret the theme in their own way. Jerusalem Design Week 2023 will explore the role of design in contemporary culture through an up-to-date investigation of deceptiveness. The theme seeks to examine design’s manipulative tools and the realities they shape. During Jerusalem Design Week, the aim is to present a series of works that capture the meaning of illusion, works that knowingly conceal, deceive, or give rise to an alternative reality, and works that attempt to uncover and explore truth and authenticity, in the face of lies and falsehoods.Nowadays it seems that both lies and indeed truth are engineered to play tricks on us. We experience reality through a multitude of translations, adaptations, and artificial phenomena. We navigate the built environment using GPS systems. On social media platforms we mask our appearance with filters and on Zoom calls we disguise our background with images of faraway locations. So much of what we do is impacted by cutting-edge technology, hidden in ‘black boxes’ whose internal workings are not readily understood. The lie has its own appeal: the illusion is mesmerising, satisfying, and comforting, allowing us to dream.In the battle between truth and lies, between that which is aesthetically pleasing and that which is not, we ask is design, by its very essence, merely trickery? We wonder if the designer is no more than an illusionist?As participating witnesses of the information revolution, the subversion of trust, authenticity, and truth is a daily occurrence. Fake news, deepfake videos, false images, and disinformation are prevalent in everyday life; moreover, they often prove to be beneficial financially, socially, and politically. While lies and falsehoods prevail in the digital sphere, they are also part of an analogue reality. Jerusalem Design Week’s theme, in a way, offers a meta look at society from a philosophical point of view, and will ask pertinent questions, including: Has the search for truth been abandoned and even if it is found, what is its actual worth? When/why do we take pleasure in the comforting beauty of well-designed illusions and when/why do we seek to uncover the truth?The work of the designer oscillates between fiction (that which dazzles in a bid to maximise profit) and actuality (that which prioritises transparency and taking responsibility). In either case, designers will harness their manipulative tools for the task, for example, with simulations and models that convincingly demonstrate messages and concepts. In a world where augmented reality, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence are in an increasingly dominant position, to what extent will designers succumb to the promise of hi-tech wizardry versus the continued practice of craftsmanship and artisanship? And in truth, are lies and falsehoods the new normal?For full details on how to submit and application guidelines visit www.jdw.co.il/open-call-2023Application TimelineApplication deadline 1.2.23 at noonApplicants that move to the second round will be notified by 20.2.2023 The selected works will be funded and displayed from 22nd–29th June 2023 at Jerusalem Design Week. About Jerusalem Design WeekSince its first edition in 2011, Jerusalem Design Week has become the largest and most influential public design event in Israel, attracting more than 40,000 visitors each year. The annual central theme focuses on situations that are unique to Jerusalem and Israel, as well as having international relevance. This stems from the idea that Israel’s cultural landscape allows it to serve as a living laboratory for the exploration of urgent global issues and is based in the belief that design must respond to these issues. Jerusalem Design Week was initiated by the Ministry of Jerusalem and Heritage and the Jerusalem Development Authority. It is managed by the Ran Wolf Company. www.jdw.co.il | @jlmdesignweek | #JDW23 Jerusalem Design Week22nd–29th June 2023Hansen House14 Gedalyahu Alon St JerusalemIsraelRead the full post on Bustler

2023 Davidson Prize: Somewhere to Call Home

archiecho — Thu, 12 Jan 2023 19:51:50 +0100

Registration Deadline: Jan 24, 2023; Submission Deadline: Jan 28, 2023 The Davidson Prize is an annual design ideas competition recognising transformative architecture of the home. The prize exists to celebrate innovative design ideas, to encourage multi-disciplinary collaboration and to promote compelling visual communication.The 2023 theme is Somewhere to Call Home, which asks teams to design new solutions for homelessness.THE 2023 BRIEFSomewhere to call home is a fundamental human need.An obvious solution to homelessness is more homes. But until those homes are built, more and more people are in urgent need of a place of shelter.In the UK and Eire in 2022, increasing numbers of people are homeless or perilously close to it. In England in 2022, Shelter reported an 11% increase between January and March, with 74,230 people becoming homeless or being at imminent risk – including 25,610 families with children.Since the abolition of workhouses in Britain in 1948 and Ireland in 1925, interim solutions for homelessness have varied widely from large-scale dormitories accommodating 1,000 people or more to bed and breakfast accommodation or expensive short-term rentals from buy-to-let landlords. Today, while some schemes such as Holmes Road by Peter Barber Architects for the London Borough of Camden provide a place of dignified refuge for people with extra care needs, elsewhere hostel provision can be less than hospitable.Other contemporary ‘solutions’ may uproot people from existing networks of support including school, family and community. On top of this, homelessness accommodation often comes with stigma attached, and may fail to provide safety or privacy while being isolated from opportunities for work, meaningful occupation or social engagement.As discussed by philosophers over the centuries, dwelling is fundamental to human existence – and few interim solutions meet the essence of ‘home’ encapsulated by American poet Robert Frost in the line ‘Something you somehow haven’t to deserve’.How can people struggling with housing security ever feel truly at home?The 2023 Davidson Prize asks you to imagine for a moment an amnesty on land ownership and a ban on empty buildings. Choose a brownfield or greenfield site or an unused building in any location in the UK or Eire and design a home community where people who have experienced the trauma of homelessness and housing insecurity are given time to settle, recover and find their bearings.Your submission should identify one or more target demographic/s and respond to the specific needs of the group/s in relation to support as well as space for living. Examples include, but are not limited to, teenagers leaving the care system, people leaving the armed forces, ex-prisoners, families fleeing domestic abuse, asylum seekers and people requiring extra support for mental health and/or dependency issues or because of past trauma, as well as increasing numbers of people made homeless by rising rents and the cost-of-living crisis.Your proposed home community will need to accommodate around 50 people in a variety of household sizes to suit the chosen demographic/s – ranging from single person to group and family living – plus shared space that addresses the specific needs of the target demographic/s.Key considerations include design that:Engenders a sense of homeEnsures privacy, security and safetyPromotes a sense of a community and shared purpose – such as a social service or revenue-generating activityEngages with wider communitiesPromotes health and wellbeingIs inclusive and sustainableEntries should:Clearly communicate how the proposed design idea offers a solution to challenges faced by specific user group/sShow the benefits of multi-disciplinary collaborationDemonstrate effective communication of design ideas to lay audiences.USEFUL REFERENCES:Crisis Knowledge HubShelter Policy and ResearchDePaul Policy and ResearchFocus Ireland Reports and PublicationsSt Mungo’sDownload the brief here.Read the full post on Bustler

Call for Papers: Isokon Symposium

archiecho — Thu, 12 Jan 2023 19:17:49 +0100

Registration Deadline: Jan 31, 2023; Submission Deadline: Jan 31, 2023 A pioneer in its approach to materials, marketing, and design, Isokon Ltd was instrumental in introducing functional modernism to England between the wars. Established in 1932 by the progressive entrepreneur Jack Pritchard (1899–1992), it became known for the sleek, ocean-liner-inspired apartment building on Lawn Road in London, designed by Wells Coates (1895–1958) in 1934, and the iconic collection of bent-plywood furniture, much of it designed by Marcel Breuer (1902–1981). Together these endeavors gave form to a radical new way of living and have inspired generations of designers since.On Friday, April 21, the Yale Center for British Art will host an online symposium exploring all aspects of Isokon’s creative output. Seeking to move away from the overly simplistic narrative that it represented “the Bauhaus in London,” the symposium brings fresh insight about the hybridity of Isokon’s iconic aesthetic and its emergence from London’s cultural and modernist melting pot. The call for papers is now open. We welcome proposals on any topic related to the architecture, furniture, and marketing designs produced by Isokon, the architects and designers it employed, and the occupants of the Lawn Road flats. Please submit an abstract of no more than 250 words and a short biography by January 31, 2023, 5 pm ET.https://britishart.yale.edu/exhibitions-programs/isokon-symposiumRead the full post on Bustler

Portable Reading Rooms / Edition #2

archiecho — Mon, 09 Jan 2023 15:00:53 +0100

Registration Deadline: Feb 13, 2023; Submission Deadline: Jun 15, 2023 Despite the growing presence of digital devices, the demand for physical books remains as strong as ever, and with good reason. Research has shown that readers of printed books absorb and remember more information about the plot of a book than those using e-readers, likely due to the tactile sensation of handling a physical book, turning its pages and feeling how far you have progressed. Even children as young as three benefit from being read to from physical books, becoming more engaged and finding the story easier to remember. Researchers theorize that this is because they are less distracted than by electronic devices. The second annual Portable Reading Rooms architecture competition is seeking designs for a small structure that could be embedded within existing public spaces in multiple locations around the world. The reading rooms would have to function as an intimate meditative space in which people can read and exchange books. The structure itself would need to be highly versatile so that it could be located in various locations, and could function in any climate and any season. Though their functionality could change throughout the year - operating as a simple book exchange box during colder months and a more immersive and interactive reading experience during milder weather - the reading rooms should have the potential to enrich the community in which it is placed. Participants have total creative freedom when conceptualizing the design and functioning of the reading rooms, in fact, they need not even be a physical room. As long as they are a welcoming and nourishing environment that encourages reading, the reading rooms can be as open or closed off as you like. PRIZES 3 winning proposals, 2 special award recipients and 6 honourable mentions will be selected. Buildner (formerly Bee Breeders) will award a total of 7,000 € in prize money to competition winners as follows: 1st Prize - 3,000 € 2nd Prize - 1,500 € 3rd Prize - 1,000 € + 6 honourable mentions MARCH VALENCIA.

GADA 2023 : URBAN'S OASE in frame | International Architecture Photography Competition

archiecho — Thu, 05 Jan 2023 20:34:46 +0100

Registration Deadline: Feb 1, 2023; Submission Deadline: Feb 11, 2023 Current technological developments assist architects in creating various buildings with modern and futuristic shapes. However, often the architects only think about the function and aesthetics of the building without caring about the surrounding environment. This ultimately has a negative impact on the health of the earth. For instance, excessive glass use contributes to global warming and the depletion of the ozone layer. "URBAN'S OASE in Frame'' has the goal of bringing back environmentally friendly buildings or "green buildings" which are expected to become a hope for the beginning of fertility in a city that can restore the health of the earth. Participants can use environmentally friendly and sustainable architectural works as a reference in expressing their aspirations for environmentally friendly buildings through photography. After the competition, participants are expected not only to be concerned with function and aesthetics but also become more knowledgeable about how to create a building concept that can have a positive impact on the surrounding environment.Other Information Can be seen in the Term Of ReferencesTOR = https://drive.google.com/drive...Submission: 11.02.2023Registration: Earlybird : 15.01.2024 Normal : 01.02.2023Language: EnglishLocation: IndonesiaPrizes: 1st Place : IDR 7.500.000 + Award Plaque + Cerificate2nd Place : IDR 4.500.000 + Award Plaque + Cerificate3rd Place : IDR 2.500.000 + Award Plaque + CerificateFavorite Winner : IDR 500.000 + Award Plaque + Certificate*IDR = Indonesian Rupiah.Type: International Photography CompetitionContact us Instagram : gada_petraLine : bella1632 / celine161/ @008jdrhfE-mail : gada.petra@gmail.comRead the full post on Bustler

Registration Deadline: Apr 30, 2023; Submission Deadline: Apr 30, 2023 The aim of the “Archi-hack - Oil Platform” competition is to develop one drawing to communicate a conceptual design.

Even the concept of axonometric itself can be questioned in order to craft the most expressive way to represent the concept. We encourage you to push the boundaries of creativity. You’re free to re-invent and hack any oil platform of your choice, in order to become whatever function, you might see fit: it can either be a statement, or have a very strong practical use.

Nunavut Inuit Heritage Centre

archiecho — Thu, 29 Dec 2022 21:17:44 +0100

Registration Deadline: Jan 16, 2023; Submission Deadline: Jan 30, 2023 The Inuit Heritage Trust (IHT) is leading the planning process for the new Nunavut Inuit Heritage Centre (NIHC), with the support of Nunavut Tunngavik Inc (NTI), Qikiqtani Inuit Association (QIA), Kitikmeot Inuit Association (KitIA), andKivalliq Inuit Association (KivIA).The ‘urgent’ need for heritage facilities was identified in the 1993 Nunavut Agreement but it has yet to be realized. An approximately 5,500m2 Centre will be built in Iqaluit and, as well as providing exhibitions and programs locally, will have with a mandate to foster the development of satellite centres in each region and coordinate territory-wide collaborative exhibitions and programs. The NIHC is conceived of as a Centre for Nunavut Inuit that focuses on:living heritage, the continuity of Inuit culture and language, the preservation and exhibition of cultural belongings. The NIHC will support reconciliation and healing by bridging generations, allowing Inuit to connect with their Elders and ancestors as well as with non-Inuit through objects and stories. The legacy of colonialism – the residential school system, the rupture of families through relocation to communities, the TB crisis and the 60s’ Scoop – and marginalization of Inuit culture, values and traditions in present-day Nunavut left many Inuit interested in reconnecting with their collective past to find a stronger sense of identity and culture. The NIHC will help Inuit to discover valuable insights and renegotiate their individual and collective cultural identities. The NIHC will feature:Interactive long-term and temporary exhibitionsVisible storage of cultural belongingSpecialized Inuit and northern libraryAccess to archival materials and place names mapsDigital makerspaceIndoor and outdoor performance spacesLanguage revitalizationPractice of traditional skills such as sewing, kayak building and tool makingVisual arts including carvingButchering and skin preparation spaceElders/scholars/artists’ hostelDaycare centreCafé featuring country food, training and cateringShop featuring Inuit art, crafts, and difficult to access suppliesCollections storage facilities and conservation laboratoryBoardroom and offices To be designated as a Category A facility, and thereby be able to repatriate cultural property and offer tax receipts for donations of cultural belongings, the facility requires particular environmental controls including fire suppression, climactic control and security, and spatial relationships between functions (e.g., loading bay to storage areas). The new facility will be exemplary in its understanding and showcasing of Inuit Nunangat ways of life and will lead the architectural discourse in the development of a northern, regenerative architectural strategy.Read the full post on Bustler

FuturArc Prize 2023: Cross&Generational Architecture

archiecho — Thu, 29 Dec 2022 00:51:38 +0100

Registration Deadline: Feb 15, 2023; Submission Deadline: Feb 15, 2023 Asia's leading Green design competition invites you to submit your best ideas—open to professionals and students! FuturArc Prize (FAP) 2023 | Cross-Generational Architecture asks: How can we design architecture that responds to societal issues for tomorrow’s generations amidst ongoing climate and planet challenges? The way our built environments are designed should keep pace or even foresee changes in societal compositions. Whether countries are facing decreasing birth rates and mortality rates, can we still afford to design in ‘silos’?

Registration Deadline: Jan 10, 2023; Submission Deadline: May 5, 2023 Music festivals are popular across the world, giving music fans a chance to meet and experience their favorite bands and artists live and in a crowd of fellow supporters.

Sansusī is just that, a festival dedicated to celebrating classical and contemporary chamber music within a modern festival setting. First established in 2014, the Sansusī festival has been held each year in Latvia, and sought to create the world’s first alternative chamber music festival. It combines chamber music – which is a form of classical music composed for a small group of instruments – with all the excitement, adventure and freedom of a typical rock festival. It combines open-air concerts where visitors can listen to classical music with other interdisciplinary performing arts such as contemporary dance, circus performers, live theater, exhibitions and all manner of other performances – all set within a beautiful natural surrounding. The Sansusī Forest Food Court competition is being run in partnership with the festival, tasking architects and designers to create a food court structure that would function as the center of the festival. The structure would need to be able to be assembled by hand and should be constructed of sustainable materials. As winning designs will be put forward for consideration for construction, the Sansusī festival founders are asking participants to offer solutions that will best serve the various needs of the festival. Designs should reflect the spirit of the festival while also being a prolific example of green building practices and sustainable design.

With sustainable travel and wellness tourism set to be some of the biggest tourism trends in coming years, Latvia seems set to welcome more visitors than ever looking to experience its lush and diverse landscape, and spend some time in nature. For the Yoga House in the Bog competition, participants are asked to submit designs for a yoga house located in a Latvian bog which is surrounded by forest and is a few hundred meters from Baltic Sea Beach. The location is a one hour drive from Cape Kolka, a unique spot on the shores of Latvia where two seas clash. The entire region is the perfect place to experience the tranquil purity of nature and the local landscape. The yoga house should allow guests the chance to experience and connect with nature during their stay. While they will need shelter and protection from the elements – high temperatures in summer and strong winds, rain and snow in the winter – the yoga house should make them feel a part of the environment, not separated from it. For the Yoga House in the Bog competition, the jury panel will be looking for designs that interact harmoniously with the unique and sensitive environment surrounding it. It should be both an iconic design and a positive example of green building practices. PRIZES 3 winning proposals, 3 special award recipients and 6 honourable mentions will be selected. Buildner (formerly Bee Breeders) will award a total of 10,000 € in prize money to competition winners as follows: 1st Prize - 4,000 € 2nd Prize - 2,500 € 3rd Prize - 1,000 € + 6 honourable mentions Client's Favourite Award - 1,000 € Buildner Student Award - 1000 € + 50 € gift card at ARCHHIVE BOOKS Buildner Sustainability Award - 500 € COMPETITION SCHEDULE Early Bird Registration: DECEMBER 7 – JANUARY 11 Advance Registration: JANUARY 12 – FEBRUARY 8 Last Minute Registration: FEBRUARY 9 – APRIL 26 Final registration deadline: APRIL 26, 2023 Closing date for submission: JUNE 7, 2023 Announcement of the winners: JULY 12, 2023 More: https://architecturecompetitio...Read the full post on Bustler

72h International Idea Competition: (Re)Thinking the modern dream of recent past

archiecho — Wed, 23 Nov 2022 22:22:43 +0100

Registration Deadline: Dec 2, 2022; Submission Deadline: Dec 5, 2022 We are told that the Modern Dream came from European colonial powers that transported their model of industrial progress to colonial cities such as Hanoi, Vietnam through a “mission civilisatrice.” However, modernity was and continues to be a malleable dream. Taken up by colonialists and Vietnamese nationalists alike over the course of the 20th century, industrial development tied city (re)building to socio-economic restructuring and nation-building within the context of Vietnam’s emergence on the world stage. The industrial paradigm was not only a mode of production, but created new urban publics of laborers and consumers, from colonial subjects to a modern and self-sufficient "new Vietnamese people" in the post-independence era. Hanoi’s factories, once nodes of modernization that catapulted the city’s rapid urban transformation, have quickly since Vietnam's free-market reforms of the 1990's been displaced by an engine of undefined urban growth and sprawl. Seemingly forgotten remnants in the heart of a dynamic city, as many as 117 facilities have been or are slated for redevelopment according to city plans. As a post-colonial city, Hanoi contends with its industrial heritage through a fractured lens. On the one hand, the legacy of colonialism is one of contested values and the imposition of foreign agents. On the other hand, more nuanced local histories remain untold, yet are vulnerable to erasure by those motivated to selectively deny and discard history. At stake in the current transition is not only the artifacts themselves, but the opportunity to re-trace and contend with dreams of the recent past. Hanoi Ad Hoc invites you to explore alternative possibilities for the post-industrial city. Industrial heritage continues to influence the physical fabric of Hanoi, as well as its social fabric through the everyday lives of people living in and around spaces of production. How can our understanding of modern history and the city's industrial vestiges speak to our dreams today? What aspects of the "modern dream" can we evolve towards a more humane, equitable, and sustainable 21st century? Responding to a set of documented sites, projective designs will serve as provocations on the past and future lives of Hanoi's factories. LANGUAGE Vietnamese; English LOCATION Hanoi, Vietnam SCHEDULE Registration opens: Nov 16, 2022Competition opens: 8 p.m (GMT+7) Dec 2, 2022Deadline for submission: 8 p.m (GMT+7) Dec 5, 2022Announcement of Winners: Dec 19, 2022The award will be celebrated at the opening of our Ha Noi Ad Hoc 1.0 exhibition.

Registration Deadline: Apr 5, 2023; Submission Deadline: Jun 7, 2023 Architects play a crucial role in addressing both the causes and effects of climate change through the design of the built environment. Innovative design thinking is key to producing architecture that meets human needs for both function and delight, adapts to climate change projections, continues to support the health and well-being of inhabitants despite natural and human-caused disasters, and minimizes contributions to further climate change through greenhouse gas emissions. Preparing today’s architecture students to envision and create a climate adaptive, resilient, and carbon-neutral future must be an essential component and driving force for design discourse.Given their long lifespan, new buildings must be designed to address solutions to climate change and to respond to its projected impacts, well into the second half of the 21st Century and beyond.

Don't miss the opportunity to participate in one of the most prestigious photography contests in 2021.EDGEOn an urban scale, an edge is a linear boundary that is a part of both domains, public and private. Edges can be transitional places where two distinct entities meet. They can help navigate and create a space of choice, and control with direction to move in. Edges are capable of stimulating intense emotions through their visual impact or feel. While the edge may be fragile in nature, it is also the place where two systems collide and work together, existing in harmony. An edge between the natural and man-made environment is attractive for this reason. But this edge exists in fluid nature, organic in form. Their collision and interaction is a mesmerising sight, be it the waves at the coastline or the mountains on the outskirts. The brief/theme of the challenge is to make a picture story of edges, observed on any scale, between nature and manmade elements. Edges, where both these ecosystems work together, can also be portrayed in the photo essay, using not more than 8 images – along with a concept note. This concept note can be added in the journal section that covers a description of your pictures.PRIZESWinner 6000$ Runner - Up - 1400$ x 6 People's Choice - 600$ x 4 Honorable Mention - 600$ x 12Visit to know more - https://uni.xyz/competitions/dichotomy/info/aboutRead the full post on Bustler

Winter Stations Design Competition 2023

archiecho — Tue, 01 Nov 2022 22:33:11 +0100

Registration Deadline: Nov 25, 2022; Submission Deadline: Nov 25, 2022 Winter Stations is a single-stage international design competition held annually in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Participants are tasked with designing temporary winter art installations which incorporate existing lifeguard towers spaced strategically across the city’s Kew and Woodbine beaches. The structures (not in use in the wintertime) are considered visual anchor points for the installations.As in previous years, Winter Stations intends to build 4-6 winning proposals for a six-week exhibition along the waterfront, funding permitted.While Toronto beaches are not typically as well visited in the colder seasons, Winter Stations has captured the imagination of the city. Designers can expect their designs to be well-visited and should anticipate public interaction.The competition is open to everyone in the world. There is no fee to enter.2023 Theme: RadianceAny type of change can be hard – as we navigate through uncertainty and redefine the new norm. However, in all of this, we have learnt how to be still, to embrace life as it happens and continue to grow.In recognition and celebration of this, the theme chosen for the 2023 edition of Winter Stations is Radiance: the quality or state of being radiant. Radiance is a powerful thing to harness, as it reflects brilliance, inner security, kindness, and gratitude – but it’s also unique in that it has a positive ripple effect from its origin. Radiance is beautiful in the way it spreads organically. This year we want you to celebrate your growth, inner strength and freedom in defining what radiance means to you.As Winter Stations moves forward this year, we ask designers to conceptualize their station to be experienced up close and from afar, in-person and virtually, as we continue to acknowledge the potential for in-person and travel restrictions. Furthermore, given unforeseen circumstances regarding our installation sites, stations should be designed structurally independent of the lifeguard stands and be suitable for both a sandy beach environment and a flat urban surface.Proposals should adhere to the following budget for submissions:$5,000.00 CAD for materials$10,000.00 CAD for labourAn honorarium will be provided to winners and allocated as follows:Design Fee – $2,000.00 CADTravel is up to the discretion of the artist/teamFor more information visit winterstations.comRead the full post on Bustler

A HOUSE FOR LEBBEUS WOODS & In Ukraine

archiecho — Sun, 09 Oct 2022 13:58:28 +0200

Registration Deadline: Oct 15, 2022; Submission Deadline: Oct 30, 2022 A HOUSE FOR LEBBEUS WOODS In Ukraine The question is: if Lebbeus Woods lived in Ukraine, now, would he have imagined what very often he imagened in his drawn oeuvre ? A similar question could have been: if Peter Eisenman lived in Haiti, at the time of the tremendous earthquake that devastated the country, would he have still chosen the theoretical banner of En Terror Firma ? But then, perhaps it is not art that copies life, but the other way around. So maybe, to an extent at least, both Lebbeus Woods and Peter Eisenman had premonitions… they anticipated disasters that were to come. But maybe those disasters were mainly within themselves. Architecture is War – War is Architecture – wrote Lebbeus Woods. And this year there are 10 years since he died. We invite you to imagine A HOUSE FOR LEBBEUS WOODS – in Ukraine. Would it be very similar to what we already see, published, almost daily ? Or would it be in some kind of opposition? What do you think ? Please reflect on the way he drew… he drew like an old master… magnificently well… the manner of drawing was somehow in disjunction with the matter depicted. Woods was obsessed by death, although one could have rarely found a more vital man than him. Maybe not by accident Peter Cook called him “the craggy optimist.” Yet, this “optimist” drew some of the most horrific scenes in architectural imagery, lately. Would we like to live in his drawings ? What do his drawings represent ? A world in turmoil. A world in conflict. A world at war with itself. Was there any Apollo to be envisioned at the end of the dark tunnel ? Not really, although the beauty of the drawings (if one makes abstraction of that they depicted) could be seen, somehow, sometimes, Apollonian, although Woods was rather attracted, it seems, by Dionysus. We invite you to imagine a house that would be, possibly, an extension of his drawn works, a physical expression of his fears and his hopes, an architecture of turbulence, at a time of turbulence, in a world which cannot stand still. DESIGN A HOUSE FOR LEBBEUS WOODS – IN UKRAINE. Please send us ANY work, ANY size and ANY format, digitally, to works@icarch.us. We will publish all of them. If you have any questions, please contact us. The deadline is October 30th, 2022. Thank you, I C A R C HRead the full post on Bustler

Butrint National Park Visitor Center International Design Competition

archiecho — Sun, 09 Oct 2022 13:58:25 +0200

Registration Deadline: Oct 24, 2022; Submission Deadline: Oct 24, 2022 The Butrint National Park Visitor Center International Design Competition is a global search for a dedicated and gifted architectural team to design a new visitor center for Butrint National Park, an exceptional UNESCO World Heritage Site (WHS) on Albania’s Ionian coastline. Located in the south of the country, approximately 20 kilometers from the modern city of Sarandë and overlooking the Straits of Corfu, Butrint is the most significant archaeological site in Albania, and its chief cultural attraction. The new center, of up to 1,000 sqm, must receive, welcome and orient visitors, interpret the site, convey the Outstanding Universal Values of the WHS, and be a gateway to the wider National Park and a regional hub for other nearby natural and cultural visitor attractions. Other aspects of the competition include a new or extended ticket office (including staff workspaces and support facilities); improvements to the core heritage area entrance and secure boundary; wayfinding and interpretation; and improved mooring facilities. The competition will also encourage participants to consider further opportunities within the wider park in the form of a landscape visioning masterplan. A proactive and forward-thinking approach to sustainability throughout will be key, to tackle the many challenges of the climate emergency, with rising sea levels being a particular threat to Butrint’s low-lying peninsula. The project’s initial funding of USD $2.45m has been secured and the project has a fast-track timetable: the finished building is due to open in September 2025. The two-stage competition requires integrated multidisciplinary design teams comprising as a minimum: architect (and lead designer), landscape architect, masterplanner, exhibition and interpretation designer, archaeologist, engineering disciplines including sustainability, cost consultant and a wayfinding consultant. The official language of the competition is English. No design is required at the first stage — rather designers will need to study the Search Statement (available to download from the competition website) and submit their team composition, approach to the project, relevant experience and pre-qualification questionnaire through a digital form on the website. At the second stage four teams will be shortlisted, and these will receive an honorarium of USD $10,000 for their design work when the competition concludes with the selection of the winner. Full details of how to enter the competition are available on the dedicated competition website at competitions.malcolmreading.com/butrint.Read the full post on Bustler

Registration Deadline: Oct 25, 2022; Submission Deadline: Oct 27, 2022 The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) has launched a competition for the design of a new luxury resort on a Private Island in the Bahamas. The client is looking to create a highly sustainable destination that will attract diverse groups of travellers, the yachting community and residents, whilst preserving the surrounding natural beauty of the island. The island, that once was home to a pineapple plantation, currently has no formal residential infrastructure, no roads, no power and no water supply. It features a shallow inland lagoon in the centre of the island and a thin peninsula which juts out 11 km (7 miles) east. The site for the planned development is a total of 107 acres. The project revolves around three key areas to be developed on the island: a Beach Club, a Marina, and fully equipped bookable accommodation. Entrants will have the opportunity to submit designs for one or more of these categories. The design competition is a two-stage process. The first stage will include the anonymous assessment of concept design ideas and selection of a longlist of up to 10 concepts for each category. The second stage will include a shortlisting process, whereby those selected will be asked to refine their ideas following feedback and the shortlisted designers will be invited to present their refined concepts to the Evaluation Panel. A prize of £25,000 will be awarded to the overall winner with another £25,000 prize fund distributed amongst other prize winners as agreed by the Panel.https://ribacompetitions.com/privateisland/Read the full post on Bustler

NON ARCHITECTURE AWARD FOR UNBUILT PROJECTS 2022

archiecho — Sun, 09 Oct 2022 13:58:13 +0200

Registration Deadline: Jan 31, 2023; Submission Deadline: Jan 31, 2023 Construction is the most obvious reward for an architectural project, but very often in order to make things buildable, architects have to sacrifice innovation and creativity and surrender to business as usual. Non Architecture launches an award to honour those projects that didn’t take that approach and are unbuilt and unbuildable, either because they were designed to stay as such, or because their innovative charge brought them into the realm of the unpractical. We want to reward their innovative and experimental character with an award, organized in 3 categories - Architecture & Interiors, Urban & Landscape, and Aspatial & Virtual. By recognizing remarkable achievements in architecture, we intend to highlight exemplary projects that serve as inspiration for practitioners. Equally important, these awards elevate the potential for positive impact that an exploratory approach in architecture has on the future of the profession. The award is open to student works, conceptual designs, competition entries, research & speculative initiatives of all sorts. Projects can have an exploratory or critical purpose, as long as they were not designed with the primary goal of being built.WEBSITERead the full post on Bustler

SBE Student Challenge 3 [Belgium]

archiecho — Sun, 09 Oct 2022 13:58:09 +0200

Registration Deadline: Nov 11, 2022; Submission Deadline: Mar 20, 2023 The SBE Student Challenge is already in its third edition. During the academic year 2022- 2023 we challenge higher education students with a design competition for a bridge in a historical context. And this is during 3 workshop days at the SBE office.THE ASSIGNMENT 'PONT CAPITTE'The question for this 3rd edition of the SBE Student Challenge concerns the replacement of the Pont Capitte, one of the many bridges connecting the Canal du Centre Historique in La Louvière. The canal is best known for its four ship elevators that bear witness to the high-tech scenery of the late 19th century. This unique landscape falls within a UNESCO protected zone. For technical reasons, the current Pont Capitte must be replaced by a new contemporary road bridge. The construction of a new bridge is an opportunity to also examine its urban and landscape integration. And of course, the specific historical context is also a not unimportant framework in which the bridge must take its position. In short, a fascinating project with technical, landscape and aesthetic challenges. WORKSHOPSThe design of a bridge is not an everyday exercise for many students; for the experts at SBE, however, it is a daily occurrence. With the SBE Student Challenge, we want to offer students the opportunity to deal with various themes within bridge design in an unconstrained way during their education. Therefore, we organize the design competition over 3 workshop days at the SBE office in Sint-Niklaas. Students are not on their own but intensively guided during these 3 days. Besides a unique experience, one team has a chance to be awarded as the winner and go home with a fantastic cash prize of no less than 2.000 euros. PRACTICALDesign competition for all higher education students in Belgium.More info and registration via the website www.sbestudentchallenge.be.The assignment is to design a road bridge focusing on the disciplines of architecture, urban planning, landscape and civil engineering. The assignment will be carried out during 3 workshop days at the SBE headquarters in Sint-Niklaas (Slachthuisstraat 71, 9100 Sint-Niklaas), close to the railway station. The first workshop day will take place on Thursday 17/11/2022. The 2nd and 3rd workshops will take place during the week of 13/02/2023 and the week of 20/03/2022 respectively, the exact dates will be announced on the website. Students only need to bring their own laptop, snacks/drinks will be provided on location. The final evaluation and the award ceremony by a professional jury will be on the last workshop day.Read the full post on Bustler

Co&designing Equity in the Public Realm

archiecho — Sat, 02 Jul 2022 07:16:32 +0200

Registration Deadline: Sep 1, 2022; Submission Deadline: Sep 1, 2022 The London Festival of Architecture (LFA) is collaborating with the City of London Corporation, its cultural district Culture Mile, and Foundation for Future London to launch ‘Co-designing Equity in the Public Realm’, a new design competition. The competition will deliver one or more temporary public realm interventions in Smithfield and East London that collectively develop a deeper understanding of the public’s experience of streets and public spaces. ‘Co-designing Equity in the Public Realm’ is seeking a multi-disciplinary team to create temporary small-scale intervention(s) and activations in Spring/Summer of 2023, that have been informed by public engagement and education activities. The public realm interventions will explore inclusive design, equity, and public space as well as the involvement of young people in city making. Artists, architects, designers, social enterprises and creative organisations are invited to develop and submit a design proposal that includes public engagement with relevant local groups during the design development and delivery phase of the project. Proposals should also include collaboration with young people and/or other relevant local groups. A winning team will be confirmed in October and awarded £50,000 (including VAT) to develop a fully costed, feasible design alongside an engagement plan that can be delivered ahead of June 2023, when the next edition of the London Festival of Architecture takes place. The competition embraces the belief that the arts are uniquely placed to connect communities, celebrate their immense collective power and create positive social change. Funding provided by City of London Corporation has supported the development of collaborative programming between communities across East Bank and Culture Mile. This four-year partnership has utilised creativity to support the development of new models of practice and collaboration around education, life-long learning, employment opportunities, health & wellbeing and inclusive public realm. The aim of previous cross-district partnership projects, such as the Fusion Prize and Fusion Futures, has been to support engagement with local audiences, demonstrate commitment to funding local cultural infrastructure, support diverse new creative talent and develop longer-term shared learnings between the two new cultural districts of East Bank and Culture Mile, amplifying the wider value they bring to London. This commission develops this work further through focusing specifically on the use of places, public realm, wayfaring and culture to create inclusive connectivity between both cultural districts. This competition focuses on Smithfield within the City of London and the target areas of Foundation for Future London’s work in East London: the boroughs of Hackney, Newham, Tower Hamlets and Waltham Forest. It is not necessary for teams to create physical interventions in both areas, but competition applicants are encouraged to work across them in some way (via community engagement, digital engagement/intervention, and/or education activities) during the project. The specific locations of the engagement work and installations are open to discussion during Stage 2 of the ‘Co-designing Equity in the Public Realm’ process. Shortlisted teams will work with the City of London Corporation, Foundation for Future London and their relevant local authorities to identify appropriate space within the focus areas. Interested applicants are invited to submit their expressions of interest by midday on Thursday 1 September 2022. Information for applicants is available here, including the competition’s brief. The competition’s Judging Panel includes: Maria Adebowale-Schwarte (CEO, Foundation for Future London) Esme Fieldhouse (Head of Public Realm, Hawkins\Brown) Tim Jones (Culture Mile Manager, City of London Corporation) Rosa Rogina (Director, London Festival of Architecture) Clarisse Tavin (Environment Department, City of London Corporation) Manijeh Verghese (Founding Director, Unscene Architecture and Head of Public Programmes, Architectural Association) Rosa Rogina, Director of London Festival of Architecture, said: “We’re thrilled to be partnering with Culture Mile, the City of London Corporation, and Foundation for Future London on this design competition, which is a great opportunity for both established and emerging creatives to showcase their talents and leave their marks on one of the most exciting neighbourhoods in London, to be enjoyed for years to come. I encourage all artists, architects, and designers to come forward with proposals that enhance these areas and bring together people from different backgrounds”. Wendy Hyde, Chair of the City of London Corporation’s Culture, Heritage and Libraries Committee, said: “Creatives will certainly appreciate the opportunity to work on this unique project, which aims to shape the local area.
