archiecho — Sun, 29 Mar 2026 18:29:27 +0200

Registration Deadline: May 13, 2026; Submission Deadline: Oct 19, 2026 As cities expand, vertical and horizontal spaces are continually redefined, adapting to the pressing demands of urban living. Yet, beneath the expanse of our infrastructure lies a matrix of underutilized spaces, often overshadowed by their towering counterparts - the bridges that stitch our cities together. These underbridge spaces, ranging from small niches to vast expanses, remain dormant, echoing the hum of the traffic above, waiting for visionaries to tap into their latent potential. In our relentless pursuit to address urban housing needs, Buildner is proud to unveil its 20th competition in the Affordable Housing Series, marking another milestone in the exploration of innovative living solutions. This edition also represents the second edition of Underbridge, our housing challenge focused on the overlooked and underexplored spaces beneath bridges around the world. Through this challenge, architects and visionaries are invited to reimagine these environments and unlock their potential — transforming them into dynamic, thriving communities that resonate with the city’s heartbeat. Beneath city bridges worldwide lies untapped potential, vast spaces brimming with opportunity. Underbridge invites visionaries to transform these areas into thriving communities. Buildner is searching for designs that can cater to a wide array of residents, ensuring a perfect blend of scalability, affordability and eco-consciousness. It is an invitation to revolutionize these overlooked spaces with a fresh, practical perspective. Participants have the liberty to pinpoint any underbridge site across the globe for their visionary designs. Essential considerations include the site’s accessibility, available amenities, and how the proposed solution harmonizes with the existing community. The designs should showcase adaptability, ensuring they cater to various needs while remaining both cost-effective and sustainable. With this challenge, the boundaries are set by your own creativity. Buildner urges entrants to think big, think different, and present housing solutions that challenge the norm. The underbridge spaces await your transformative touch. Let your imaginations run wild, and let’s craft a vision where these spaces become the heartbeat of urban communities. PRIZES 3 winning proposals, special award recipient and 6 honourable mentions will be selected.

The competition is impressive and provides an incredible opportunity for young design-builders.This year's competition expands on last year's challenge, which focused on the initial phase one procurement of a major airport expansion, including a new main terminal and airside expansion with an automated people mover (APM). That project was delivered using a fixed-fee, variable scope design-build approach. The 2025 competition takes the next step, challenging student teams to complete the terminal by adding additional gates and concessions on each side of the new main terminal building using Progressive Design-Build (PDB).The National Design-Build Student Competition provides young design-builders the opportunity to create a project as a team, present it to some of the industry’s leading pros and earn national recognition for their good work.

Call For Ideas: Tiny Library 2025 Architecture Competition

archiecho — Sun, 23 Mar 2025 19:19:00 +0100

Registration Deadline: Jun 12, 2025; Submission Deadline: Jun 20, 2025 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. Self-learning, especially through reading, is crucial for the society’s development. 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. “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” -Nelson Mandela (Political Leader, Philanthropist and former President of South Africa) 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 50 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 e-books, 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. Click the link to register - https://bit.ly/4knyI4e 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 4500, broken down as follows: 1st Prize: USD 2000 + Certificate + Publication 2nd Prize: USD 1200 + Certificate + Publication 3rd Prize: USD 800 + Certificate + Publication Student Award: USD 500 + Certificate + Publication 10 Honourable mentions: Certificates Winners and Honourable Mention

TerritoryAfter the end of the XXII Winter Olympic Games, President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin proposed to form a center for the selection and in-depth training of talented children in the fields of natural sciences, art and sports on the basis of the Olympic infrastructure. This is how the Sirius Educational Center appeared, where the best students from all over the country, as well as their teachers and mentors, study all year round. The Sirius Educational Center, established in 2015, has become a key link in the national system of support for talented children in all regions of the Russian Federation, and a guideline for determining modern standards for schools with in-depth teaching of certain subjects. The range of Sirius tasks was constantly expanding, and the number of projects was increasing. On December 22, 2020, the first federal territory in Russia was created to implement them. Its tasks were the preservation and development of the Olympic, natural, and cultural heritage, the introduction of standards in the educational, scientific, cultural, and sports fields and their scaling throughout the country, and the discovery of talents of all ages in the interests of Russia and each of its inhabitants. Today, the federal territory is successfully developing an Educational Center and the Presidential Lyceum, a University and College attached to it, an Innovative scientific and technological center, cultural and sports infrastructure. The Sirius ecosystem combines the best of government structures and corporate practices. Thanks to the experimental legal regime, breakthrough projects are being created here to solve the most important tasks facing Russia, which would be impossible to implement in other regions of the country.

Open Call: Library for Disabled Architecture Competition

archiecho — Thu, 13 Mar 2025 14:13:42 +0100

Registration Deadline: Jun 1, 2025; Submission Deadline: Jun 1, 2025 PARTICIPATE HERE: https://www.seekfanatic.com/competitions/library-for-disabled/Premise: Libraries are vital community resources, providing access to information, culture, and education. However, traditional library designs often present significant barriers for people with disabilities. This competition challenges participants to rethink library design from the ground up, prioritizing accessibility and inclusivity for users with a wide range of disabilities. The aim is to create a welcoming and empowering space that facilitates exploration, learning, and social interaction for everyone, regardless of their physical, sensory, or cognitive abilities. The design should go beyond simply meeting accessibility codes and strive to create a truly inclusive and enriching experience for all users. Consider how the design can foster a sense of belonging and community for disabled individuals.Objective: Design a state-of-the-art library specifically tailored to the needs of individuals with various disabilities, fostering an inclusive and accessible environment for all users. The design should seamlessly integrate assistive technologies and incorporate universal design principles. Key objectives include ensuring barrier-free access throughout the building, providing adaptable spaces for different needs and preferences, and creating a sensory-rich environment that caters to diverse sensory profiles. The library should offer a comprehensive collection of accessible materials, including braille books, audiobooks, and large-print resources. Furthermore, the design should promote social interaction and create opportunities for collaboration and community building among disabled users. The space should be flexible and adaptable to accommodate a wide range of activities and programs, encouraging lifelong learning and community engagement.Site: The competition site is open to the designer's interpretation, allowing for maximum creativity and flexibility in design solutions. Participants are encouraged to envision the library within a community setting, considering factors like access to public transportation and proximity to other essential services. While the specific size and location of the site are not prescribed, the proposed library should be of sufficient size to accommodate a diverse range of library functions, including individual study areas, group collaboration spaces, a dedicated children's area, and a technology center. A suggested area between 5,000 and 20,000 square feet is recommended to ensure adequate space for these functions, but designs exceeding or slightly falling short of this range will also be considered. The site selection should be justified in the design proposal, demonstrating how the chosen location contributes to the accessibility and inclusivity of the library.Constraints: The primary constraint of this competition is the requirement to adhere to and surpass standard accessibility guidelines and regulations. The design must be fully compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) or equivalent accessibility standards applicable in the chosen location. Beyond simply meeting these minimum requirements, the design should strive to create a truly inclusive environment that anticipates and addresses the diverse needs of disabled users. Budget considerations should be acknowledged, though precise cost limitations are not explicitly defined for this stage. Participants are encouraged to demonstrate cost-effectiveness in their design choices, prioritizing sustainable and durable materials. The design should also consider the environmental impact of the building, incorporating sustainable design principles where possible. Finally, the design should be aesthetically pleasing and welcoming, promoting a sense of comfort and belonging for all users.PARTICIPATE HERE: https://www.seekfanatic.com/competitions/library-for-disabled/Schedule and FeesEarly Registration: May 01 23:59 GMT/UTC ($29 USD)Final Registration & Submission: Jun 01 23:59 GMT/UTC ($49 USD)Results Announced: Aug 01Read the full post on Bustler

Call for Submissions for COTAA #2 - The Double

archiecho — Sat, 08 Mar 2025 23:14:35 +0100

Registration Deadline: Apr 7, 2025; Submission Deadline: Apr 7, 2025 The Double The concept of the double has long fascinated—and unsettled—philosophers, psychologists, and artists, emerging as a site of tension between self and other, reality and illusion, truth and distortion. The double operates as a bizarre paradox—identical yet different, a reaffirmation yet an erasure. At once a mirror and a rupture, it both confirms and undermines what it replicates, exposing the fragility of authenticity, permanence, perception, and authorship. At its core, the double reveals that nothing—whether an idea, creation, being, or system—is ever truly singular or self-contained. For Plato, the double is a fundamental problem of representation. He argues that all representation is merely a copy of a copy—an imitation of the material world, which itself is an imperfect reflection of the realm of immutable Forms, the ideal and perfect versions of all things. Twice removed from truth, the double deceives, seducing the senses and distancing us from knowledge. Yet if something can be duplicated, doesn’t that imply its essence was never singular to begin with? Plato assumes an original, stable truth, yet the double challenges that very premise, revealing meaning as constructed, mediated, and unstable. The double does not merely distort truth—it unravels the illusion of truth itself. Freud places the double at the heart of the uncanny, unsettling us because it is both familiar and strange. A reflection that appears to take on a life of its own fractures our belief in a stable self. Lacan extends this idea, arguing that the double is central to subject formation. In the mirror stage, an infant misrecognizes its reflection as a unified self—an illusion of wholeness that forms the ego, even as the real self remains fragmented. The double, thus, is both an idealised projection and a false image, creating an endless tension between ego and alter ego, self-perception and the divided subject. Baudrillard pushes the concept further, arguing that the double is no longer just a reflection of reality but has become reality itself. If Plato saw imitation as a distortion of truth, Baudrillard contends that in postmodern culture, the copy has replaced the original. In a hyperreal world saturated with representation and reproduction, reality dissolves into simulation. The double no longer refers to an original—it becomes self-sustaining, endlessly circulating with no fixed connection to external truth. For Derrida, the double is not a copy but a disruption that exposes the instability of meaning. His concept of différance suggests that meaning is never fully present but always deferred. The double does not confirm an original but deconstructs it, revealing that everything is already a repetition of something else. Rather than a faithful reproduction, it is a fracture of meaning, a mark of instability that reshapes what it replicates. Deleuze, in contrast, sees the double not as a deconstruction of an original but as difference in itself. No copy is ever truly identical to its source; every repetition introduces variation, transformation, and instability. The double, then, is not a reflection but a mutation, a becoming-other—an act of creation rather than mere duplication. It never remains the same; it continuously escapes itself, multiplying meaning rather than fixing it. Blanchot takes the double into the realm of absence and negation. For him, doubling is not just replication but erasure—a haunting presence that signals something missing. In literature and art, it often appears as a shadow, a ghost, or a doppelgänger, suggesting that the original was never fully there to begin with. To be doubled is also to be undone, forcing us to question whether an original ever truly existed or if it was always a construct upheld by belief in its singularity. The double, then, is neither simple repetition nor pure opposition. It is a state of tension- between being and non-being, meaning and its unravelling. It reminds us that everything we see, create, or define is always subject to doubling. Whether through deception, simulation, deconstruction, difference, or negation, the double unsettles our claims to reality, compelling us to reconsider what is real, what is constructed, and what lingers in the liminal space between. From Louis Kahn’s “unified whole” and Robert Venturi’s “difficult whole” to Kersten Geers’ “difficult double,” COTAA #2 explores the complexity and contradictions of the double in architecture. What follows is an open-ended pinboard of ideas and provocations—an invitation to question and rethink the possibilities of the double.Read the full Call for Papers here.The 2nd number of the peer-reviewed architectural magazine COTAA welcomes abstracts of papers, not exceeding 300 words, including references, bibliography, and image descriptions (black and white – in format .jpeg), composed with min

Small Lots, Big Impacts

archiecho — Sat, 08 Mar 2025 23:14:31 +0100

Registration Deadline: Apr 20, 2025; Submission Deadline: Apr 20, 2025 Small Lots, Big Impacts is a two-stage initiative to build a path to a better future for Los Angeles—one where a new generation of homeowners has the chance to thrive in more resilient neighborhoods. The recent fires have highlighted the importance of combining public resources with creative ingenuity to address the city’s housing crisis. Thus, in Small Lots, Big Impacts, the City of Los Angeles is leading the way, hosting demonstration projects on its own land that will offer new visions for building housing that can translate to thousands of similar, privately-held lots. First, a design competition asks designers, architects, and students to propose homeownership models on a selection of the City’s small, overlooked, and forgotten lots. Participants will imagine a sustainable urban future that updates the Los Angeles residential imaginary for a postsuburban world where infill, shared amenities, and compact communities present viable alternatives to the detached house. To address the city’s housing shortage and support fire recovery, proposals will consider architectural and community resilience, strategies for expedient construction, and cost-effective development approaches. Second, through a Request for Qualifications (RFQ), the City of Los Angeles will award small, underutilized parcels of City-owned land to nimble, innovative, and high-quality architect-developer partners (“Development Teams”) to construct housing prototypes. The initiative will be “open source,” sharing development lessons, design approaches, policy implications, and strategies for practice to build the capacity of the city’s housing development community.The Small Lots, Big Impacts initiative is the outcome of a collaboration between cityLAB-UCLA, LA4LA, and the City of Los Angeles, including the Office of Mayor Karen Bass, the Housing Department, and City Council.SITESAcross Los Angeles, tens of thousands of privately-owned lots are under a quarter acre, underutilized, zoned for residential construction, and by any common sense measure, ripe for construction. Through this initiative, the City is providing a unique opportunity to design new models for living together on publicly-owned lots that have these same characteristics. In so doing, Small Lots, Big Impacts will highlight the larger opportunity that lies in leveraging these prototypes to build sustainably on the rest of Los Angeles’ residential land. Since the first day of her administration, Mayor Karen Bass has been focused on building a stronger, more resilient Los Angeles by addressing the city’s multifaceted housing crisis. Today, City Councilmembers are anxious to deploy land in their districts to create resilient demonstrations of homeownership opportunities. City-owned land already plays an outsized role in facilitating new housing demonstrations, but until now, larger sites for multifamily apartments have received the most attention. Small Lots, Big Impacts instead pursues pilot projects on underutilized residential parcels that are less than a quarter acre—the very DNA of housing in Los Angeles. Each individual site and each individual project may be small, but the scale of the opportunity is vast.Competition DetailsRead the full post on Bustler

Registration Deadline: Feb 28, 2025; Submission Deadline: Feb 28, 2025 The aim of the “Archi-hack: Gas Station” competition is to develop one drawing to communicate a conceptual design. The participants are asked to repurpose a gas station by following the requirements of the brief and one axonometric projection to represent it, with absolute freedom of interpretation, technique and level of abstraction. 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 gas station 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. As long as the proposal utilizes a gas station structure to create a revitalized form in its own distinct way. This is a competition where you develop your skills as a communicator, designer and space thinker. We are not interested in the construction details; we want to see the space organization and creative approach. The drawing can highlight functional aspects of the structure, showing a deep understanding of one or more design aspects. It can focus on the aesthetic qualities either internal or external, showing space configuration and specific projects characteristics, or it can only display structural elements and overall massing. The elements shown in the entry are flexible and adaptable to the participant’s interpretation. The entry is completely flexible and adaptable to the participant’s perception.LINKRead the full post on Bustler

Design as Mother

archiecho — Tue, 15 Oct 2024 23:35:06 +0200

Registration Deadline: Nov 25, 2024; Submission Deadline: Nov 25, 2024 Good design evinces a sensitivity to its users and their needs, often reimagining the user experiences of a given space to promote beauty and delight; nowhere is this sensitivity more essential than in designing for the youngest and most impressionable members of our societies. From birth and infancy through to adolescence and even early adulthood, the spaces we — by choice or not — place our children in or subject our youth to inherently structure their formative experiences of the world. We can come to think of design as an act of care, and consider how design and its related processes can form part of the responsibility of care we have towards the younger generation, whether intentionally or inadvertently designing for children.”Mother,” from the Greek ‘mētēr’ and mḗtra, meaning womb, and the Latin māter, shares etymological lineages with matter, material, medicine and metropolis—raising the question of how cities, governance, healing and material cultures all serve to nurture new life and creativity. These questions hold constructive and radically subversive potentials, especially when the act of "mothering" is at once saccharine and easily vilified: it is often readily associated with heteronormative roles or dismissed as mere domestic labour, and then just as easily identified as the root cause of psychological damage. If motherhood can encompass everything from an animal instinct or martyrdom to a scapegoat for societal ailments, where and how can it intersect with design? The upcoming issue of The Site Magazine is interested in explorations (in any format) that pertain to design for, or as experienced by youth, and/or through the lens of “mother” (considering this term its broadest and queerest sense). From environments of childbirth to education design, from landscapes of memory and imagination to accidental urban playgrounds, how do we promote, protect for, and reimagine positive environments for today's children and youth? How do we respond to the wonder and optimism associated with childhood, especially outside of socially-sanctioned children’s spaces like schools and playgrounds? How can we centre children's needs against systemic adultism? Where can designing for youth better intersect with the queering of public spaces? Can childhood, with all of its attendant longings and hopes for the future, serve as a design brief?Visit The Site Magazine to submit.Read the full post on Bustler

Winter Stations 2025

archiecho — Mon, 07 Oct 2024 21:17:55 +0200

Registration Deadline: Nov 3, 2024; Submission Deadline: Nov 3, 2024 What is Winter Stations? 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.To view previous installations please visit our archive.Full competition and submission details can be found HERE.2025 Theme: Dawn Dawn marks the beginning of a new era for Winter Stations as it steps into its 11th year, symbolizing a fresh chapter in its creative journey. Just as the first light of morning breaks through the darkness, the exhibition will explore the moments of profound change that redefine and shape our existence, highlighting the delicate process of shedding old layers to emerge as something new. Dawn embraces the evolving self and the endless possibilities of change and transition, whether it be personal, natural, or spiritual, capturing the raw beauty of growth and renewal.Dawn represents the shift from night to day, and this year, designers are invited to explore how Winter Stations can evolve, and to consider the future of the exhibition and its relationship with the public and the environment. Through this lens, Dawn challenges designers to explore how Winter Stations can adapt, grow, and metamorphose in the coming years, shaping the urban landscape in imaginative and innovative ways.Special Considerations:Conceptualize the station to be experienced up close and from afar, in person and virtually.Assume minimal security and the possibility of vandalism and wear/tear from weather elements and public use.There is no power or utilities available for the stations, and solar-powered devices are to the discretion of the Winter Stations team.Installations should not propose the use of electricity or fire.Stations should not exceed a footprint of 10 square meters if the proposal has a roof or is enclosed by walls.Stations which encourage climbing (stairs, ramps, etc.) are subject to the Ontario Building Code.Transportation and storage considerations:Designs will need to consider a trailer bed size of 7′ x 18′ to transport the installation. The installation can be intact or disassembled into components to fit on the trailer bed.Designs will need to consider storage efficiency and accommodate a shipping container of 8′ x 8′ x 20′ post exhibition.Stations should be designed for both a sandy/snowy beach environment and a flat urban surface.To view previous installations please visit our archive.Full competition and submission details can be found HERE.Read the full post on Bustler

Norman Foster Foundation / Kharkiv Freedom Square Revival

archiecho — Wed, 02 Oct 2024 21:00:54 +0200

Registration Deadline: Nov 5, 2024; Submission Deadline: Nov 26, 2024 Kharkiv’s new symbol of freedomThe city of Kharkiv stands as Ukraine's second-largest city and has been considerably affected by the ongoing conflict due to its proximity to the border with Russia. During the first conversation between the Kharkiv Mayor and Norman Foster in the United Nations’ Second Forum of Mayors, the Mayor underscored the importance of creating a new landmark for the city. This ideas competition seeks to inspire local and international experts to propose design solutions for an iconic building in Kharkiv—the Regional Administration Building—as well as for the public realm of the adjacent Freedom Square. The proposals should offer a holistic intervention that envisions a prosperous future while enhancing the historical significance and identity of Kharkiv. This competition is part of the larger Kharkiv concept Masterplan project: a local and international initiative of the Kharkiv City Council, the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) within the framework of the UN4UkrainianCities initiative, the Norman Foster Foundation and Arup among others. Freedom Square & Regional Administration BuildingFreedom Square, the second-largest city square in Europe, has long served as a central venue for public gatherings and cultural events in Kharkiv. This extensive space is notable for its vastness and ability to accommodate large public assembles, following the principles of Soviet urban planning. However, despite its historical importance, the square’s current design and scale have resulted in a lack of human-centric interaction, rendering it underutilised in the daily life of the city. The challenge now lies in transforming this grand yet impersonal space into a vibrant hub of activity that truly resonates with the people of Kharkiv. Adjacent to Freedom Square is the Regional Administration Building. The current appearance of it was constructed during Soviet time as a landmark following this era’s architecture. It stands as a testament to Kharkiv’s storied past. Once a symbol of Soviet authority, this building now represents an opportunity for transformation and renewal, serving as a physical embodiment of the city’s potential future. Its structure, with its historical facade, invites a reimagining that preserves its past while embracing the new opportunities of modern Ukrainian society. Winning projects constructedThe Norman Foster Foundation Kharkiv Freedom Square Revival competition, organized by Buildner, NFF, Kharkiv City Council, UNECE and Arup presents a unique opportunity for architects, urban planners, and designers worldwide to contribute to Kharkiv’s rebirth. With a generous €10,000 prize sponsored by Buildner, this competition calls for visionary proposals that honor Kharkiv's rich heritage while aligning with its aspirations for a prosperous and progressive future. The rewards extend beyond the monetary prize. The winning teams will have the potential to develop their design proposals in cooperation with the City Council and local professionals and stakeholders for the further implementation of the proposed concept design. This opportunity would allow the selected teams to work closely with the community, ensuring that the final designs are deeply rooted in local needs and aspirations and bringing their visionary concepts to life as part of Kharkiv’s future urban landscape.

archiecho — Wed, 02 Oct 2024 18:51:54 +0200

Registration Deadline: Jan 31, 2025; Submission Deadline: Jan 31, 2025 In this competition, sponsored by Rhodia, we invite creative minds to explore the power of hand-sketching through the theme “Architecture and Movement.” The goal is to create a unique hand-drawn sketch that interprets the dynamic relationship between architecture and motion, whether through a perspective, abstract, or technical drawing.Participants are encouraged to explore the theme by focusing on how architecture interacts with movement, whether it’s the flow of people, light, air, or even the transformation of structures over time. The design can be inspired by an existing built environment or completely fictional, allowing for flexibility and creativity in approach.This competition challenges participants to return to the fundamentals of architecture: the simplicity of pen and paper. How can your drawing capture the essence of motion within a space? How does your design express the fluidity and dynamism that define our interaction with the built environment?This is an opportunity to showcase the lasting relevance of hand-drawing in architectural practice. Your sketch should push the boundaries of creativity, demonstrating how movement can be translated into visual form, and offering a fresh perspective on the role of architecture in shaping dynamic spaces.LINKRead the full post on Bustler

The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art International Design Competition

archiecho — Tue, 01 Oct 2024 18:52:01 +0200

Registration Deadline: Oct 29, 2024; Submission Deadline: Oct 29, 2024 The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art International Design Competition – Creating a Museum for All – is a global open call for an outstanding architect-led multi-disciplinary team to design a world-class addition for one of the United States’ finest art museums. Based in Kansas City, Missouri, The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art cares for a superlative collection of more than 42,000 art objects and is best known for its extensive Asian art, European and American paintings, photography, modern sculpture, African, Native American and Egyptian galleries.Offering free admission to all, and funded by private support, the museum is nationally and internationally acclaimed and serves a broad region within a 300-mile radius.Rarely is a museum gifted with two architectural icons. Here, the first, an original Beaux Arts monument, was funded by the visionary legacies of William Rockhill Nelson, founder of The Kansas City Star and civic leader, and Mary McAfee Atkins, an educator turned arts philanthropist. The second, the much-admired and innovative Bloch Building by Steven Holl in 2007, introduced a luminous presence: large glass sculptures that descend the expansive hilltop site in a series of “lenses”.Now the museum is embarking on a third evolution in response to rising and increasingly diverse attendance and a rapidly growing city. The capital campaign associated with this initiative will be the single biggest investment in the arts in Kansas City in recent years (funded by private not public tax dollars) and contribute to the city’s future dynamism and vitality.The museum aims to become a beacon of inclusivity, creativity and social connections. Strategically, the museum’s Board of Trustees is intent on expanding the conventions of the museum, so it becomes a more dynamic, open and inviting place – a place where everyone feels they belong: a Nelson-Atkins for All.As Lonnie G. Bunch III, Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution says, “Not a community center, but a center for community”. A place to hang-out as much as an elevated cultural experience, a place that will serve more school children, where people are energized by art, inspired to be creative, and immersed in new experiences.Highlights of the circa 61,000 sq feet new addition(s) will include a primary entrance and welcome foyer, a comprehensive photography center, new featured exhibition galleries, learning and engagement spaces for hands-on art activities, a black box-style theater for digital art and immersive programming, and a restaurant for indoor/outdoor dining and events.Also contained within the competition scope is the repurposing, reconfiguration and renovation of circa 74,000 sq feet of the existing museum space, and activating and amplifying the outdoor spaces, all framed within a thoughtful sustainability strategy. The estimated construction budget is $160 million – $170 million.Like the museum’s earlier icons, this new space needs to be of world class architectural quality and intensely of its time. The Nelson-Atkins desires a building that is both physically and metaphorically transparent. A place that attracts and intrigues passersby with its interior energy, making them want to join and belong in a way they may not have felt or experienced previously. The winning design should reveal the museum’s inner workings to the public, improve connectivity and flow indoors and out, and create highly animated and fluid spaces that integrate into the life of the city.Accordingly, this two-stage international competition seeks architect-led multi-disciplinary teams with an open call for submissions. The museum welcomes US, international, emerging and established practices.No design is required at the first stage. Rather, teams will need to study the Search Statement, and submit their approach to the project, team composition and relevant experience, as well as company details, through the digital form.At the second stage, up to five teams will be selected to engage with the museum and prepare concept designs. An exhibition of the finalist concept designs will be held at the museum in Spring 2025 and the schemes will also be available to view online, giving the community an opportunity to view the submissions and give their feedback before the museum’s Architect Selection Committee meets to interview the finalists and recommend a winner for The Nelson-Atkins Board of Trustees’ ratification.Each of the five finalist teams will receive a competition fee of $75,000 at the conclusion of the process.Once a winner has been selected, the museum will work with them to identify a partner design firm registered to practice in the State of Missouri. Please see the Competition page for further details.This first stage deadline closes at 10:00 CDT (UTC‑5) on Tuesday, October 29, 2024.Read the full post on Bustler

Registration Deadline: Dec 10, 2024; Submission Deadline: Dec 20, 2024 The Sejongno Park, established in 1992, has only undergone minor repairs over the past 30 years while maintaining its existing facilities and structure. Even after the restructuring of Gwanghwamun Plaza in August 2022, the park still faces limitations for visitors due to its outdated facilities and enclosed spatial layout. Meanwhile, the Gwanghwamun area has experienced significant changes to accommodate a new future, including the reopening of Gwanghwamun Plaza in August 2022, the rebuilding of the Sejong Center for the Performing Arts, remodeling of the KT Building, and the relocation of the U.S. Embassy. It is essential to comprehensively redesign Sejongno Park to improve its aging facilities and enable better integration with the evolving surrounding developments This design competition aims to address the spatial limitations that currently disconnect Sejongno Park from its surroundings. At the same time, it designs to create open spaces in order to enhance the connection with Gwanghwamun Plaza and expand civic areas while providing essential amenities such as dining options, restrooms, and indoor relaxation areas that are currently lacking. Furthermore, the competition aspires to establish a space that resonates with future generations, honoring those who sacrificed their lives to protect the freedom of the Republic of Korea and expressing our gratitude. • Title: Design Competition for the Creation of Sejong Park and Symbolic Sculpture • Type: Open design competition, International design competition • Site : Sejongno Park and Sagyegarden (Four Seasons Garden) area (80-1 Sejongno, Jongno-gu, Seoul, 1-68 Sejongno and others) • Area : 10,912㎡ • Period : Oct. 4th, 2024 (Fri) - Dec. 20th (Fri) • Project Owner : Seoul Metropolitan Government, Balanced Development Headquarters, Gwanghwamun Squre Operation Division • Construction Budget: 4 Billion and 967.7 Million KRW (including VAT) • Design Fee : 2 Billion and 685 Million KRW (including VAT) • Design Period : Jan. 2025 ~ Dec. 2025 (12 months) • Construction Period - Symbolic Sculptures : May. 2025. 05 ~ Sep. 2025 (5 months) - Sejongno Park : Jan. 2026 ~ May. 2027.

They engage with faculty and students, participate in public programs and Fellowship events, and collaborate with their peers. They become part of a powerful, ever-growing network of colleagues passionately committed to revitalizing communities.“The Fellowship has an important role in the design world,” says Loeb Fellowship curator John Peterson. “For almost 50 years the Fellowship has steadfastly championed those who are shaping the built environment as significant players for positive social outcomes.”The Loeb Fellowship traces its roots to 1968, when John L. Loeb was directing a Harvard GSD campaign themed around “Crisis: The chaos in our cities, the loss of control over our environment, the urgent need for leadership for the future.” Loeb saw the American city in disarray and believed Harvard could help. He imagined bringing highly promising innovators of the built and natural environment to the GSD for one year, challenging them to do more and do better, convinced they would return to their work with new ideas and energy. Now in its fifth decade, the extraordinary, transformative learning experience that is the Loeb Fellowship continues to have a critical role to play in preparing leaders to address these urgent concerns and instigate important future advances through their work in the built and natural environment.More information on the Loeb Fellowship, including how to apply, visit the Loeb Fellowship website.Read the full post on Bustler

Open Call - Festival des Architectures Vives 2025

archiecho — Fri, 20 Sep 2024 00:00:53 +0200

Registration Deadline: Dec 2, 2024; Submission Deadline: Dec 2, 2024 To mark the 19th edition of the Festival des Architectures Vives, from June 10-15, 2025, the Champ Libre association is inviting applications for 10 projects to be carried out as part of the Festival.The FAV will take place in the heart of the city of Montpellier, in the Ecusson district and, more specifically, in the inner courtyards of certain private mansions, offering visitors a journey of architectural discovery.The aim of FAV Montpellier is, on the one hand, to open up these emblematic sites to visitors for the duration of the festival and, on the other, to reveal an intimate relationship between contemporary architecture, an installation, and a heritage site, thanks to the intervention of teams of architects who will present a work specific to each site.Theme 2025: La GourmandiseFor this new edition, we're inviting architects, urban planners, and landscape architects to explore the link between Architecture and Gourmandise by taking over the courtyards of Montpellier's private mansions once again this year, with installations that offer a special kind of experimentation and provoke genuine moments of pleasure.Gourmandise, usually associated with pleasures of the taste buds, is revealed here in an architectural dimension where materials, shapes, and spaces are transformed into a veritable celebration of desire. Far from being a mere sin, gourmandise becomes a vector for creativity and innovation, a pretext for exploring how spaces can arouse an irresistible desire to be lived and experienced. The courtyards of private mansions are already evocative of this, and the installations will sublimate this intense moment.Gourmandise embodies voluptuousness and pleasure, but also curiosity and sensory exploration. In architecture, it translates into immersive spatial experiences where every detail is designed to arouse curiosity and the desire to discover. Just as contemporary cuisine explores new flavors, textures, and sensations, sometimes to the point of molecular study, gourmet architecture invites bold experimentation. Molecular cuisine redefines the boundaries of taste by reinventing traditional techniques to create unprecedented sensory experiences. In the same way, architecture can seize upon this quest for innovation and discovery to design spaces where materiality, light, and proportions are reinterpreted, transforming the space into a veritable laboratory for sensory experimentation.For this edition, we invite you to revisit the codes of architecture through the prism of gourmet delights. How can architecture become an invitation to delectation? The proposed installations will have to play with perceptions and invite visitors to an immersive experience. The challenge is to design installations that awaken the desire to be explored, tasted with the eye, and savored with the mind. The exploration of La Gourmandise offers a space to push back the boundaries of architecture. We want it to be a moment of pleasure for visitors, for the inhabitants, and for the owners of the site, but also for you as a designer.Together, let's make this 2025 edition of the Festival des Architectures Vives a celebration where the pleasure of the eyes and senses rivals that of the taste buds. Selection process:The consultation is open to young architects and landscape architects. The aim is to promote young architectural creation. It is possible to form a multidisciplinary team, but it must comprise at least one architect.Applicants must use this form, and applications must be sent as a single PDF file not exceeding 10MB. Failure to adhere to those requirements will result in a rejection of the application.To apply, go to: https://festivaldesarchitecturesvives.com/ Read the full post on Bustler

Call for Abstracts – LA+ MEMORY

archiecho — Wed, 04 Sep 2024 02:18:04 +0200

Registration Deadline: Oct 31, 2024; Submission Deadline: Oct 31, 2024 Landscape speaks by way of constant change, rooted in process and evolution – the marks of water along a shoreline, seasonal cycles of symbiosis, a forest floor over time. It’s peculiar in that, as Emerson noted, “its self-registration is incessant.” Yet landscape is also particularly receptive—and generative—to our human narratives, individual and collective, and as such can act as a powerful agent of memory. Historian Pierre Nora foregrounds the sensory dimension of memory, defining lieux de memoire as where “memory crystallizes and secretes itself.” Nora also proposes that memory and history are in a constant state of opposition, but that memory can erupt through the frameworks of history when we least expect it.LA+ MEMORY will explore this power of memory in its many dimensions: physical and metaphysical, personal and collective, embodied and ephemeral. This issue recognizes—and welcomes—that both the concept and act of memory are potent flashpoints in political discourse. Where does memory erupt in these charged times? What can we learn from emergent practices of remembrance and preservation? What can memory held in our environments—on our street corners, in our soils, in our very genetic material—teach us? For this issue of LA+, we invite contributors from a diverse temporal, ideological, and disciplinary spectrum to reflect on the ways in which memory registers in our world today.Email abstract and short bio to laplus@design.upenn.edu by October 31, 2024.

The Forge Prize from the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC), challenges architects, educators, and students to create design concepts that embrace innovations in steel as the primary structural material--and $25,000 in prizes. The Forge Prize, co-administered by AISC’s brand-new Architecture Center and AISC University Relations, challenges emerging architects, architecture educators, and architecture students to create design concepts that embrace innovations in steel as a primary structural material--with up to $15,000 on the line. “The Forge Prize is the Architecture Center’s flagship design competition--and it’s just one way that the Center sparks creativity to inspire great designers,” said AISC Director of Architecture Nima Balasubramanian, AIA, NOMA. “The basic questions are simple: What will the future look like? What will people build with? Where will they live, work, and play? And how could steel make it happen?” Three finalists will each win $5,000 (plus free registration and travel support to attend the Architecture in Steel conference) and work with a steel fabricator to refine their design before presenting it live to the judges and the world in a live YouTube stream on March 6, 2025.

Registration Deadline: Oct 2, 2024; Submission Deadline: Oct 14, 2024 Accessible Dwelling Unit (ADU) Design CompetitionArizona is in crisis. Arizona has the fourth worst affordable housing shortage in the country, according to a recent National Low Income Housing Coalition’s (NLIHC) Gap report, and among the cities, Phoenix was ranked as having the fourth most severe shortage in the country with 21 available and affordable units for every 100 households.Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, City of Phoenix rents have soared, burdening the finances of many low- and middle-income households, and home prices are up significantly, putting homebuying out of reach for more people. The number of people experiencing homelessness in Maricopa County is up, and the number of eviction filings in 2023 was on track to be the highest since the Great Recession era. In September of 2023, to improve affordable housing options, Phoenix’s City Council approved the legalization to build attached or detached accessory dwelling units, or ADUs, to all single-family residential homes. Yet, there is still work to be done. The AIA (American Institute of Architects) Phoenix Metro and the City of Phoenix are teaming up together to hold a design competition for schematic ADU designs in accordance with the City of Phoenix Ordinance G-7160 with the intent of helping to develop the City of Phoenix's ADU “Pre-Approved” Standard Plans Library. A selection committee will evaluate each design submission. The winning designs will be awarded a cash prize. Additionally, funding will be provided by the City of Phoenix, to help selected winners complete their Standard Plan submittal package for the City of Phoenix. In addition to receiving a cash award, the winners of the competition will be credited with the schematic design of the ADU's. The winning designs will be displayed in an online gallery with images, descriptions, and information about the designer. Additionally, the City of Phoenix may also choose to promote the winning entries through their marketing of the ADU program to the public. Read the full post on Bustler

TitleThe official name of this design competition is "The International Competition for the Pyeongtaek-si Administrative Town" 2. Background and PurposeThe current Pyeongtaek City Hall, approved for use in 1993, was built before the 1995 merger of Pyeongtaek-si, Songtan-si, and Pyeongtaek-gun. Despite ongoing expansions and remodeling, there is still a shortage of office space. The city hall and city council are currently located separately, and some administrative departments are dispersed, complicating inter-departmental collaboration and communication. Additional administrative office space is needed due to increased administrative demands from various urban development projects. Pyeongtaek-si plans to establish an administrative town that integrates the city hall and city council, aiming to create an efficient communication structure between administrative and legislative functions. The relocation to the Godeok International New City area will enhance accessibility and convenience, providing high-quality public services to local residents. The new administrative town aims to be a public building that is more accessible to the community while serving as a platform for diverse and evolving administrative functions. As a young city, Pyeongtaek hopes the new city hall will accommodate expanding administrative functions based on IT industries. 3.

UIA-HYP Cup 2024 International Competition in Architectural Design

archiecho — Fri, 09 Aug 2024 18:17:51 +0200

Registration Deadline: Sep 20, 2024; Submission Deadline: Oct 10, 2024 Background“UIA-HYP Cup International Student Competition in Architectural Design” was initiated in 2012. It is internationally sponsored by the Union Internationaldes Architects (UIA), organized by the School of Architecture, Tianjin University and Urban Environment Design (UED) Magazine. Shanghai HYP-ARCH Architectural Design Consultant Co. Ltd. is the Exclusive Naming Sponsor. It is an annual architectural competition which has been successfully held for 12 editions. Each year, the UIA-HYP Cup is chaired by an internationally renowned architectural master, and the jury panel is selected from among the world's most outstanding architects and deans from schools of architecture. To boost the architectural education which mainly focuses on basic skill training in its conventional and progressive system, UIA-HYP Cup International Student Competition takes the role as an external platform for student to embrace a brand-new thinking approach in order to improve their comprehensive problem-solving skill, meanwhile it is also some kind of headhunter for discovering emerging elite architects. Topic Spatial Restructuring: Reestablishing Urban Density Interpretation China's urban development has entered an important period of comprehensive urban renewal, and urban construction has shifted from large-scale incremental construction to equal emphasis on improvement of existing buildings and structural adjustment of the newly built ones. This decision of the government clearly indicates the end of the urban development stage of large-scale demolition and construction, and is also a timely correction. The development model of Chinese cities in the past thirty years is a typical suburban expansion model in Europe and America. On one hand, this rough model contains serious social problems that may erupt in the future, and on the other hand, it causes destructive damage to traditional urban texture, density, and culture accumulated over thousands of years in various parts of China. Therefore, it is necessary to make the decision-makers in cities across the country realize that urban and rural renewal is not a development strategy that cities and towns have to adopt due to limited lands for construction, but a necessary path to rebuild China's own urban culture and promote true urban cultural revival. The premise of this understanding is a sense of crisis towards the collapse of Chinese urban culture. However, it is almost impossible to simply preserve the original state, whether considering the cost of updating or the protection of texture and density of the city. For example, is it possible to make a breakthrough in development intensity and to what extent? How to balance the conflict between protection and development in the context of severe financial burden on cities and towns? If the protection of urban and rural texture is an unbreakable bottom line, how can we solve the inconvenience of construction caused by the dense and fragmented plots/streets in historical urban areas and towns? The high density of buildings in historical urban areas and towns has formed a unique atmosphere and popularity. How to solve the conflict between the existing standards on urban planning, building & fire safety and this situation? How to define what needs protection? From the perspective of protecting cultural memory and lifestyle, the protection scope of urban and rural renewal will definitely break through the protection scope of historical buildings. How to define this scope specifically? Updating means construction, and in order to balance funds, it often means increasing the intensity of construction. Should this construction comply with regulations for historical buildings or for new buildings? How to achieve ecological block construction in high-density neighborhoods? If urban popularity and service industry require sufficient density, how can high-density neighborhoods achieve maximum openness with a large number of residential functions? These are the basic issues that architectural renewal design must consider from the beginning. If the bottom line requirement for urban renewal is to adhere to the principle of "retaining, renovating, and demolishing," with a focus on preservation, reuse and improvement, encouraging small-scale and gradual organic renewal and micro renovation, paying attention to ecological restoration, and preventing large-scale demolition and construction, then, the next step in China's urban and rural planning and construction would be a total shift, a shift towards urban and rural renewal, which means that the existing design institutes' work models (short-term design, rapid project, large team, unified planning, one-time design, excessive commercialization and routine) will become completely ineffective. Architects need to reimagine a design approach that combines the dual standards and depth of urban planning and architectural des

The project aims to create a pleasant and joyful environment for all users, enhance safety and accessibility, develop a visually striking intervention that reflects local diversity, and promote sustainable travel in the area.Design proposals can encompass various elements such as re-cladding, lighting, public art, wayfinding, greening, and footpath treatments, with practical considerations including durability, sustainability, and ease of maintenance. Community engagement is vital for the project’s success, requiring design teams to consult with local community groups, especially those from the neighbouring Winstanley and York Road estates, to ensure inclusivity and responsiveness to local needs. Additionally, designs must be practical and feasible within budget constraints, capable of withstanding all weather conditions, and serve the community well into the future.The judging panel will shortlist up to six teams, and awarded an honorarium of £1,500 + VAT to develop their design proposals. Shortlisted entries will be displayed in early November, allowing the local community to participate in a public vote. The winning team will be confirmed in December 2024, with the final design to be installed by the end of September 2025.If you’re interested in entering the competition, you can attend an online drop-in session on 14 August 12.30pm – 1.30pm for a Q&A, and you can register here to attend. Interested applicants are invited to submit their expressions of interest by Thursday 12 September, 12pm.Read the full post on Bustler

Call For Ideas: Tiny House 2024 Architecture Competition

archiecho — Wed, 31 Jul 2024 02:51:46 +0200

Registration Deadline: Dec 5, 2024; Submission Deadline: Dec 12, 2024 Volume Zero invites each one of you to participate in the 25th edition of our architectural competitions and the 5th edition of 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, 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 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 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 the 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 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! 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. AWARDS: Prizes of total USD 4500 broken down as follows: 1st Prize: USD 2000 + Certificates + Publication2nd Prize: USD 1200 + Certificates+ Pu

Denver Single-Stair Housing Challenge

archiecho — Tue, 30 Jul 2024 11:00:52 +0200

Registration Deadline: Sep 18, 2024; Submission Deadline: Jan 23, 2025 Point access block (PAB) housing, also known as single stair housing, is a common and efficient residential design used in urban environments across most of the world. This design, characterized by a single staircase that serves all units, supports high-density living, promotes walkable neighborhoods, and enhances urban sustainability. However, despite its benefits, this housing typology is largely absent in North America due to stringent building codes that mandate dual staircases for buildings above two or three stories. These outdated regulations have contributed to the housing crisis by limiting the diversity and affordability of housing options. Buildner and SAR+ Architects are proud to launch the Denver Single-Stair Housing Challenge, the 18th competition in Buildner's Affordable Housing Challenge series. This competition aims to address the housing crisis in Colorado by inviting innovative design solutions for mid-rise, single stair housing. The Denver Single-Stair Housing Challenge calls on architects, designers, and urban planners from around the world to reimagine the potential of PAB housing in the U.S. Participants are tasked with designing mid-rise buildings, up to six stories high, on underutilized lots in Denver. These designs should not only comply with the existing zoning and urban planning goals of Denver but also propose innovative solutions to overcome the regulatory barriers that currently hinder the implementation of single stair housing. With this competition, we aim to explore and highlight the limitations of the outdated building codes and strive for change. By showcasing innovative designs, the competition seeks to influence policy changes that will allow for more diverse, affordable, and sustainable housing solutions in Colorado and beyond. PRIZES 3 winning proposals, 2 special award recipients will be selected. Buildner will award a total of 20,000 $ in prize money to competition winners as follows: 1st Prize - 10,000 $2nd Prize - 5,000 $3rd Prize - 3,000 $ Buildner Student Award - 1,000 $ Buildner Sustainability Award - 1,000 $COMPETITION SCHEDULE Early Bird Registration: July 25 – September 18Advance Registration: September 19 – November 6Last Minute Registration: November 7 – December 12 Final registration deadline: December 12, 2024Closing date for submission: January 23, 2025 (11:59 p.m. London Time)Announcement of the winners: March 6, 2025More: https://architecturecompetitio...Read the full post on Bustler

The Home of Shadows / Edition #3

archiecho — Thu, 18 Jul 2024 11:17:53 +0200

Registration Deadline: Sep 17, 2024; Submission Deadline: Mar 3, 2025 Buildner presents the third edition of the Home of Shadows architecture competition. This event continues to highlight the crucial interplay between light and shadow in creating functional and inviting living spaces.Light is one of the most important factors when designing homes, and the use of natural light is vital in creating a space that feels both comfortable, inviting and practical. It could be said that lighting is a form of language that architects can use to communicate emotions in the spaces and structures they design. As such, shadow plays as much a role in influencing the feel of a space as light. The harmony between light and shadow allows architects and designers to create spaces with depth and texture, creating different moods for different purposes. In many cases, it could come down to the simple placement of a single window or door. For the Home of Shadows #3 competition, participants are asked to design a home for a hypothetical couple with just one rule - there can be no artificial light within the home. The jury will be looking for designs that study how natural light can influence and shape architectural decisions. Participants may select any theoretical site for their Home of Shadows and propose a design solution for the fully functional building. PRIZES 3 winning proposals, 2 special award recipients and 6 honourable mentions will be selected. Buildner will award a total of 10,000 € in prize money to competition winners as follows: 1st Prize - 5,000 € 2nd Prize - 2,500 € 3rd Prize - 1,000 € + 6 honourable mentions Buildner Student Award - 1000 € Buildner Sustainability Award - 500 € COMPETITION SCHEDULE Early Bird Registration: 15 July – 17 September Advance Registration: 18 September– 21 November Last Minute Registration: 22 November – 29 January Final registration deadline: January 29, 2025 Closing date for submission: March 3, 2025 (11:59 p.m. LONDON TIME) Announcement of the winners: April 15, 2025 More: https://architecturecompetitio...Read the full post on Bustler

2025 Concrete Masonry Competition

archiecho — Wed, 17 Jul 2024 19:17:56 +0200

Registration Deadline: Apr 9, 2025; Submission Deadline: Jun 4, 2025 THE CHALLENGEFIRE STATION The design competition asks students to use concrete masonry products as the primary material in the design of a state-of-the-art Fire Station. The fire station needs to accommodate diverse functions, including equipment and vehicle storage, maintenance, gender inclusive housing accommodations, recreation, administration, training, community education and civic events. Concrete masonry is a flexible, resilient and durable material, and provides vast opportunities for form, function and expression.“Fire Stations are extremely complicated buildings technically and they are one of the few commercial building types that are open for business 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. There is also the challenge of integrating commercial uses with immediate adjacency to residential uses so that the building can maintain the duality of its purpose by providing a home to the people that live there while serving the greater public at large (people actually walking into a station for help). You have to consider that fire stations are civic buildings that are placed in residential environments, and that while these buildings need to fulfill many perceptions from the public at large, more specifically they need to address the perception of the community they serve. This could mean breaking the components of the building into smaller units and selecting materials so that the station fits into its neighborhood. It could also mean adjusting the architectural features to create a heightened sense of civic pride and stability.”-Bob Borson, ArchitectABOUT THE COMPETITION The Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA) is pleased to announce the Concrete Masonry Design Competition for the 2024-2025 academic year. The competition is a partnership with the Concrete Masonry & Hardscapes Association (CMHA). The competition will challenge students, working individually or in teams, to explore a variety of design issues related masonry construction on a Fire Station with an emphasis on local civic engagement.DetailsRead the full post on Bustler

2025 AIA COTE® Top Ten for Students Competition

archiecho — Wed, 17 Jul 2024 19:17:50 +0200

Registration Deadline: Apr 9, 2025; Submission Deadline: Jun 4, 2025 OVERVIEW 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. As with the COTE Top Ten award for built work by design professionals, COTE Top Ten for Students allows designs to be characterized in terms of 10 measures ranging from Community to Water to Wellness.ABOUT THE COMPETITION The AIA COTE® Top Ten for Students Competition is sponsored by The American Institute of Architects Committee on the Environment (AIA COTE®), in partnership with the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA). Each year, the competition recognizes ten exceptional student design studio projects that integrate health, sustainability, and equity, evaluated following the same categories of the AIA COTE® Top Ten Award for built work, and the AIA Framework for Design Excellence (now adopted as the basis of professional practice and awards across the AIA).COTE Knowledge Community Members are available as competition studio mentors by request.DetailsRead the full post on Bustler

2025 Steel Design Student Competition

archiecho — Wed, 17 Jul 2024 19:00:59 +0200

Registration Deadline: Apr 9, 2025; Submission Deadline: Jun 4, 2025 The 2025 Steel Design Student Competition will offer architecture students the opportunity to compete in two separate categories: CATEGORY I: LIBRARY + The community library stands as a pillar for independent information where ideas of all can be freely exchanged and explored. While integrating new technology, expanding services, and adding space for the community to interact, libraries continue to evolve. You are invited to site your library in an urban area of your choice, and then supply the information to finish the brief’s title of “Library +”? As libraries have the opportunity within a specific environment to respond to unique needs, what else could a library contribute to the community to become an even more integral part of the civic fabric? The project will include a defined program for a library, and each entry will include an added space for the community defined by you that cannot exceed 50% of the library area. CATEGORY II: OPEN Category II offers architecture students the opportunity to select a site and building program using steel as the primary material. This competition category permits the greatest amount of flexibility for any building type.Students may not enter both categories of the competition.ABOUT THE COMPETITION The Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA) is pleased to announce the 25th Annual Steel Design Student Competition for the 2024-2025 academic year. Administered by the ACSA and sponsored by the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC), the program is intended to challenge undergraduate and graduate students, working individually or in teams, to explore a variety of design issues related to the use of steel in design and construction. Steel must be used as the primary structural material and contain at least one space that requires long-span steel structure, with special emphasis placed on innovation in steel design.The competition allows students to explore the many functional and aesthetic uses for steel as a building material and structural system. Steel is an ideal material for multi-story building because it offers the greatest strength-to-weight ratio. In addition, steel can be constructed quickly and for all project site types with the use of labor-saving prefabrication methods such as kit-of-parts, panelization, and modular construction. A building built with steel is potentially more flexible and adaptable to allow for a change in program, occupancy, and loading needs over time.Read the full post on Bustler

Registration Deadline: Sep 18, 2024; Submission Deadline: Sep 18, 2024 This is a hugely significant step in the Grenfell Tower Memorial Commission’s journey to create a bold, fitting, and lasting memorial to remember the 72 victims who lost their lives in, and those whose lives were forever changed by, the devastating Grenfell Tower fire.The commission’s publication of their design brief, provides the criteria that interested teams must meet, and details about how they can apply. Teams are being asked to demonstrate their relevant, professional and specialist expertise including architecture, landscape architecture, and structural and mechanical engineering. Teams must also have strong experience of working collaboratively with communities.A shortlist of up to five teams will be notified in the autumn. These teams will be asked by the commission to prepare the design approach they would take if appointed. With direct input from the Grenfell community, the final team is expected to be selected and announced in spring 2025. It is anticipated that the memorial design should be sufficiently developed, in partnership with the community, to allow for a planning application in 2027.In November 2023, the Grenfell Tower Memorial Commission published its second report, detailing the Grenfell community's wishes for a permanent memorial. The report called on the government to honour its earlier commitments and fulfil its moral duty to deliver all sixteen of the Commission’s recommendations.Among the recommendations, are:the Grenfell community must always be central to decisions about the memorialthe memorial must be a peaceful, sacred space for individual and communal remembrance and reflectionthe design must reflect the diverse faiths and cultural backgrounds of the Grenfell communitythe memorial should include a garden, a monument or other structure, and options for commemorating the names of those lost, featuring art, water, and lightSpeaking today, Grenfell Tower Memorial Commission ten community representatives, said:“Launching the memorial design team selection process brings us a significant step closer to turning the Grenfell community’s memorial vision into a physical reality.Through this process, we intend to identify and appoint a specialist and worthy design team. A team that has proven experience of working on sensitive and community-focused projects, and who can clearly demonstrate the integrity with which they will approach this vital task.The beautiful and lasting memorial to our 72 loved ones deserves nothing less.”Thelma Stober and Lord Paul Boateng, co-chairs of the Grenfell Tower Memorial Commission said:“Our primary commitment as the commission is to establish a dignified and peaceful space for the Grenfell community to commemorate.And our fundamental pledge, from the outset, has been to prioritise the voices and wishes of the entire Grenfell community in the decision-making process, both now and in the future.The bereaved, survivors, and the broader Grenfell community will play integral roles at every stage. This will ensure that the final design embodies a truly meaningful tribute to the 72 lives lost and provides a lasting and appropriate place for loved ones to pay their respects, mourn, and feel connected to their memory.”Jane Duncan OBE, PPRIBA, RIBA Competitions Architect Adviser, Past-President and Chair of RIBA’s Fire Safety Expert Advisory Group since 2017, said:"Any selection process to design a memorial is a huge challenge, but the Grenfell Tower tragedy struck a blow so deeply sad, so shocking and so intense into hearts all around the globe, that to find the right design team, able to draw upon their deepest streams of empathy and delicacy, is a tricky task.This incredible and unique design team selection process sits naturally on an international stage, just as the tragedy resonated far across the globe.I ask all architects and designers, wherever you may be, to consider if you have the right skills and experience in dealing with many and diverse stakeholders, in sensitivity of approach and compassion, as well as the innovation and creativity to interpret and deliver a wonderful design to meet a very personal and touching brief.This selection process is a wonderful opportunity to present your most well-rounded team, and express your capabilities, your openness, your imagination, and actually, also, your humanity.

The Last Nuclear Bomb Memorial / Edition #5

archiecho — Thu, 11 Jul 2024 17:00:55 +0200

Registration Deadline: Sep 18, 2024; Submission Deadline: Feb 19, 2025 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 #5 is the fifth 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 #5 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, Student award recipient and 6 honourable mentions will be selected. Buildner will award a total of 10,000 € in prize money to competition winners as follows: 1st Prize - 5,000 € 2nd Prize - 3,000 € 3rd Prize - 1,000 € + 6 honourable mentionsBuildner Student Award - 1,000 € COMPETITION SCHEDULE Early Bird Registration: July 4 – September 18 Advance Registration: September 19 – November 6 Last Minute Registration: November 7 – January 16 Final registration deadline: January 16, 2025 Closing date for submission: February 19, 2025 (11:59 p.m. LONDON TIME) Announcement of the winners: March 26, 2025 More: https://architecturecompetitio...Read the full post on Bustler

KOKUYO DESIGN AWARD 2025

archiecho — Mon, 08 Jul 2024 21:34:52 +0200

Registration Deadline: Oct 9, 2024; Submission Deadline: Oct 9, 2024 1. What is the KOKUYO DESIGN AWARD? The KOKUYO DESIGN AWARD is one of the most renowned and historic product design competitions in Japan. It was established by KOKUYO back in 2002, and this year's competition marks its 22nd outing. Besides setting themes that mirror the times and then selecting the most outstanding product designs among all those entered in response every year, we have also been productizing the winning designs through co-creation between the award winners themselves and KOKUYO's product developers. So far, over 20 product designs have been productized. By taking designs that breathe new life into tools that are a familiar part of our lives at home and at work, and offering them to the world as soundly developed products, we aim to give their designers a boost for their future activities, and at the same time, achieve our purpose, "Bringing you a tomorrow you can't wait for." 2. KOKUYO DESIGN AWARD 2025 will be held The KOKUYO DESIGN AWARD 2025 will accept entries with the theme of "prototype." In product design, the word "prototype" is generally used to mean a pre-finished product or a sample before completion, but for this project, we saw it as "an original idea that has the potential to lead to the next step." A well-thought-out prototype will inspire others and serve as a catalyst for the future. The KOKUYO DESIGN AWARD 2025 is looking for product designs that will be the starting point for the future. In addition, the "NEW GENERATION Award" will be given just as last year. The NEW GENERATION Award encourages unique ideas and challenges that are not bound by existing concepts, and is open only to student applicants with the expectation of future success. Associating with KOKUYO's purpose, "Bringing you a tomorrow you can't wait for," we will select up to 10 outstanding entries with appealing ideas and viewpoints as proposals that make us "feel that their futures will be exciting." We hope this will encourage the young generation who will lead the next age to challenge themselves.Entries will be accepted from July 26.More: kokuyo.com/en/award/Read the full post on Bustler

Berlin Castle appropriation

archiecho — Mon, 01 Jul 2024 21:34:58 +0200

Registration Deadline: Sep 15, 2024; Submission Deadline: Sep 15, 2024 The Humboldt Forum, built between 2013 and 2020, presents itself in the shell of the palace of the Prussian kingdom and the German Empire. As an idealised cover memory, it suppresses the complex history of the site in the 19th and 20th centuries: Imperialism and the oppression of minorities, the revolution of 1918, the period of the Weimar Republic, the Second World War, the division of Germany and the GDR, but also the peaceful reunification and the cultural appropriation of the Palace of the Republic. The history of the site now also includes the role of right-wing extremist circles in the "faithful" reconstruction. The radicalisation of the reconstruction project, which goes beyond the Bundestag resolution of 2002 - such as the Christian-fundamentalist charge of the dome slogan - has gradually marginalised and even eradicated other, critically reflected views of German history at this site. The non-relationship between the external appearance of the building and the utilisation concept of the Humboldt Forum is also problematic. The legitimising reference to the royal art chambers cannot bridge this discrepancy. And to the extent that it does, it exacerbates the problem of the external appearance. For the collections on display inside are of colonial origin and the result of an imperial Prussian-German history of violence. Their presentation raises the question of the relationship of the Prussian-German monarchy and history to colonialism, without any critical thematisation having taken place to date. It is time to break with the uncritical glorification of Prussia and change the external appearance of the Humboldt Forum. We are therefore inviting artists, designers and architects to submit proposals that use artistic means to visualise the repressed layers of the site and inscribe them into the façades of the Humboldt Forum. In addition to permanent, physical forms of intervention, we are also interested in temporary, performative and artistic-research works. Artistic contributions are also possible that deal with fundamental changes to the programming, governance and handling of the collections, if these proposals also emerge in the urban space; because it remains essential to question the current character of the public space through the building. The status quo should not be seen as the end point of a painful process, but as a starting point that can be transformed and developed as part of a culture of remodelling that is open to different views and perspectives on history and takes into account the diversity of today's society. This call for ideas is the first step in a campaign that demands that the federal government, as owner and operator, further develops its building and organises a competition for the realisation of corresponding art-in-architecture projects and implements the result. Submission of ideas Works can be submitted digitally until 15 September on our website schlossaneignung.de Selection The organiser will make a selection depending on the type of communication, whereby a broad spectrum of ideas is to be maintained in any case and no ranking will be determined. The selection committee consists of: Julia Grosse, Annette Maechtel, Hito Steyerl. Presentation and publication The works will be presented and discussed on 10 October at the neue Gesellschaft für bildende Kunst (nGbK) Berlin and published in a book by DOM-Publishers as well as communicated in other ways. Invited artists who have confirmed their participation are: Anschlaege.de The Department / Theo Deutinger Förderverein Palast der Republik Max Graf Mischa Leinkauf Ligna Esper Postma Anike Joyce Sadiq Karin Sander Space Lab Daniel Theiler Ina Wudtke & Dieter Lesage To be submitted - Key visual: Representation of a freely chosen exterior view of the castle with the artistic intervention, 300 dpi at 25 cm width - Explanatory text 1 page A4 - Optionally up to three further images of your choice - Author's declaration - (Preferred) file formats: txt, rtf, jpg, pdf, mp4, mp4a, upload limit: 15 MB. A link can be provided for larger films. The organiser provides photographic material and information on historical and current traces on its website, which can be used by participants to present their own ideas. Queries Questions can be sent to the organiser at mail@schlossaneignung.de. These will be answered verbally at an online colloquium on Monday, 15 July 2024 at 17:00 on zoom. Zoom link: https://uni-kassel.zoom.us/j/7213260361 A recording of the colloquium will be made available online.

RE-DRAW.07: THE LINE

archiecho — Mon, 01 Jul 2024 21:34:54 +0200

Registration Deadline: Oct 31, 2024; Submission Deadline: Oct 31, 2024 Throughout history, designers have employed drawings as a fundamental tool for the communication of ideas and visions. Drawings were used as a means of rendering abstract concepts and engaging the wide public in a primordial effort of giving shape to one’s own thoughts. They were made to narrate concepts visually.Within the context of the digital age, we find ourselves overwhelmed by the sheer amount of visual data, a phenomenon which has forced us into a new relationship with visual content also within the realm of architecture. Renowned buildings are often photographed and then shared as a passive portrait of what architecture can look like.The #architecture counts more than 100,000,000 posts uploaded by a global population of avid users for whom the term itself can mean anything from the context of their best brunch spot to the latest spectacular architectural artefact. Today architects are being asked to create instagrammable moments, eye-catching details used by the client as free advertising. The result is a media-oriented image of architecture, often portrayed online by various users from the same perspective, following trending aesthetics and styles. Within representation, what once used to be a moment of creation tends to become today a passive exercise of pure repetition.Reflecting upon this paradigm, we encourage representation as a proactive exercise. We aim to engage a community in rediscovering a given building, an architectural icon, proactively researching a new image, a new way to portray it. To reach this purpose, Non Architecture, in co-curation with KooZA/rch and with the support of prominent architecture platforms, organizes Re-Draw.THE LINE is the seventh building selected for the Re-Draw competition.LINKRead the full post on Bustler

ACSA Faculty Fellowship to Advance Equity in Architecture

archiecho — Wed, 05 Jun 2024 02:17:59 +0200

Registration Deadline: Jun 12, 2024; Submission Deadline: Jun 12, 2024 The ACSA invites applications for our one-year cohort of up to five Faculty Fellows to Advance Equity and Justice in Architecture. We seek faculty members to help extend the impact of ACSA’s ongoing work forefronting racial equity and climate justice through public programming, outreach, and partnerships. Please note that the fellowship is intended to enhance ACSA’s mission and programs and to support scholarship related to ACSA’s work Evolving Towards Justice: ACSA’s Social and Ecological Shift. BACKGROUNDThe fellowship emerged during ACSA’s recent strategic planning discussions. In assessing the organization’s progress from 2019 to 2022, we learned that although our many existing programs curate content related to equity, social justice, and climate action within architectural education, too often this work sat quietly in its own location (e.g., as a conference session that turns into a chapter in a conference proceeding). We realize that the research our members do as faculty would benefit from additional efforts to externalize the work, moving beyond the confines of conferences and journals.The position begins September 1, 2024. It is a non-residential fellowship; the recipient does not need to move to Washington, DC, where ACSA is located. The applicant does not need to be located in the United States to apply for or receive a fellowship.Up to five fellows will receive $13,000 of discretionary funding to be used in pursuit of their research. ACSA will also provide a complimentary registration to the 113th Annual Meeting, March 20–22, 2025, in New Orleans, and up to $1,500 for a reimbursable travel stipend to the conference, where fellows will have the opportunity to share the work supported by this fellowship. The nature of the participation will be decided in the fall of 2024. DetailsRead the full post on Bustler

Radicepura Garden Festival - Chaos (and) order in the garden

archiecho — Tue, 04 Jun 2024 18:01:01 +0200

Registration Deadline: Sep 15, 2024; Submission Deadline: Sep 15, 2024 Radicepura Garden Festival announces the Call for Ideas to participate at the fifth edition of the Biennale dedicated to garden design, which will have the topic Chaos (and) Order in the Garden from an idea of Antonio Perazzi, artistic director of the festival. The international call is open to students, landscape architects, agronomists, garden designers, botanists, nursery gardeners, urban planners, engineers, artists, curators and all those who have the skills to design and create a garden. For the next edition of the Festival will be realized 7 gardens reserved for under 36 years old - teams or individuals. Participation is free. Gardens should be a celebration of biodiversity, the natural landscape, and the Mediterranean man-made landscape. Gardens should be innovative, attractive, usable, capture the attention of visitors, and clearly illustrate their design idea and message. The Festival encourages interaction with the public, an innovative approach with new ideas that support and develop a positive relationship between people, their culture and the natural environment where they live. The diversity of climate zones in the Mediterranean and the complex cultural vicissitudes of the area offer a wide range of creative ideas. The deadline to send the applications is the 15th of September 2024. To apply the competition visit the website www.radicepurafestival.com application@radicepurafestival.com or https://www.radicepurafestival.com/en/call-for-ideas-2024/ “Climate change and conflicts have determined a new approach to the environment, which in turn calls for a new perspective in landscape design, keeping abreast with our day and age: lines, paths, volumes, functions and gardeners are no longer enough to turn a place into a garden. Gardens have always required planning, although they need not be educational but leave room to our imagination. As certainty of formal spaces is wavering, a change of style is blossoming no longer fearing to identify key values in small things. In the new gardens the wonderment of doing and making is not juxtaposed 1 to leisure as it feeds on our greater awareness and respect for the environment, preferring slow time as the time of Nature. Plants are the matter and the subject of all gardens in as much as they represent harmony and beauty: left unto themselves they initially require time find this balance, they change the shapes and sizes in a garden, they even need opposing forces to be controlled. Yet, a well designed project will enable plants to reach maturity, synchronizing with our expectations, completing the garden with virtuous variations able to fulfill even the most ambitious dreams. We are aware of a biological network that draws energy from biodiversity: it means the boundaries between personal and collective spheres dissolve giving way to a more encompassing notion of Nature, an idea we are attracted to and which helps us recognize landscapes as a common good. As we have changed, so have our ideas of Nature: garden designing will have to seek new forms based on a evolved concept of wilderness culture. New apparently chaotic gardens spring up, as an artistic expression to fulfill dreams, as a natural choice to create the most beautiful of gardens, where both the biological forces and the creative intuitions of the design blend into a balance. Nature lovers know that chaos is a transient state that does not pertain to us, but garden lovers know that nature accepts no imposition, unless care and constant presence are offered.” We are addressing designers from all walks of life who have good knowledge of Nature, artistic skills and humbleness, to identify style strategies and practices able to lightly balance order and disorder, to indulge Nature without domesticating it.

However, the site is not really present in the daily life of the citizens of Brașov today, given the complete decommissioning of the production activity in 2007. Since then, in the absence of actual regenerationinitiatives, the platform is in an accelerated process of degradation which leads to significant losses, some irreversible.

The competition is open to national and international undergraduate and master students in any field of study. Interdisciplinary teams are encouraged The proposal should contain a buildable component and a cultural-artistic activation component. The buildable component of the selected project will be realized during a demonstration workshop of traditional techniques in Timisoara, in September-Octomber 2024, and then it will be transmuted and assembled in its final form in the vicinity of the Catholic church in the village of Babșa, Timis county, during a community activation event, where the cultural-artistic activation component will be implemented. 2.

The aim of the competition is to select the three best design solutions for each lot in order to contract the design services for the lakeshore development of the six Colentina lakes. The competition concerns the shores of the six Colentina lakes, included in the 2nd District of Bucharest: Tei lake (80 ha), Plumbuita lake (55 ha), Colentina lake (29 ha), Fundeni lake (123 ha), Dobroești lake (also called Pantelimon I, 120 ha), Pantelimon lake (also called Pantelimon II, 260 ha). These are part of a system of 15 lakes (generically called "salba de lacuri" – “Lake necklace”) formed along the Colentina River, of which ten lakes are in the administrative territory of Bucharest, in the northern part, in the NW-SE direction. These ten lakes, six of which are located in the 2nd District, constitute a valuable natural resource of ecological regeneration, representing a significant identity mark of the city. The aim of the competition is to redefine the role of these lakeshores, regarded both as a natural resource with a great ecological, sanitary, aesthetic & landscape, economic and social potential for the district/city, as well as an active interface between the established urban fabric or under development and the water of the Colentina lakes, as an element of attraction for the inhabitants. Consequently, through this competition, the Contracting Authority aims to develop the landscaping of the Colentina lakeshores over the entire length comprised in the 2nd District, in order to (1) restore the continuity of the public path on the shores by creating a green-blue promenade (generically referred to as the blue-green corridor) that offers local support and various recreational and social activities, and integrates harmoniously within the existing natural environment and (2) improve the relationship between the lake shores and the urban surroundings through local arrangement proposals. The Contracting Authority of the competition is The 2nd District of the Municipality of Bucharest, the administrator of the objectives that will be the object of the investment, which will become the beneficiary of the projects contracted as a result of this 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 OAR, rev. 2022), in compliance with the provisions of the legislation in force regarding the award of public procurement contracts.

Registration Deadline: Jun 19, 2024; Submission Deadline: Jul 22, 2024 Introducing the second Architect's Chair competition, an exciting opportunity for architects and designers to showcase their versatility and creativity by designing a signature piece of furniture. Inspired by the long-standing tradition of iconic architects creating custom furniture as an extension of their architectural work, this competition challenges participants to distill their design approach into its core components and represent their unique style in a single piece of furniture – the architect's chair. Throughout history, renowned architects such as Charles and Ray Eames, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Marcel Breuer, and Arne Jacobsen have successfully designed iconic chairs that embody their distinct design philosophies. The Architect's Chair competition seeks to continue this tradition by inviting architects and designers to explore new materials, construction techniques, and ergonomic solutions within the constraints of a chair design, ultimately producing a functional and aesthetically compelling piece of furniture. As the second installment in a series of competitions focused on custom furniture design, the Architect's Chair competition encourages participants to think beyond the boundaries of architecture and delve into the realm of product design. By creating a signature chair that reflects their individual style and vision, architects and designers can demonstrate their versatility and contribute to the ongoing dialogue between architecture and design. So, take a seat and let your creativity unfold in the Architect's Chair competition! PRIZES 3 winning proposals, 2 special award recipients and 6 honourable mentions will be selected.

Registration Deadline: Sep 12, 2024; Submission Deadline: Sep 19, 2024 Located right at the border with Russia, Kharkiv stands as Ukraine’s second-largest city and has been significantly impacted by the ongoing conflict. This historically relevant and industrial city now faces the pressing challenge of rebuilding its damaged urban fabric, with a particular focus on residential buildings and public spaces, to not only repair but to also to improve the living conditions of its residents. This competition is part of the larger Kharkiv concept Masterplan project: a local and international initiative of the Kharkiv City Council, the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) within the framework of the UN4UkrainianCities initiative, the Norman Foster Foundation, Arup, the Kharkiv Architects Group and Buildner architecture competition organizer.The Norman Foster Foundation KHARKIV HOUSING CHALLENGE seeks solutions that bridge the gap between innovative design and practical application. The task is to develop a modular system capable of retrofitting existing concrete panel housing blocks and enhancing public spaces, focusing on creating safe, energy-efficient, and vibrant neighbourhoods. Modular facade and roof components, bomb shelters, and integrating additional uses in ground floors should be considered as part of the intervention. The system should also provide solutions to re- erect severely damaged buildings with a renewed, yet locally rooted, architectural identity.Participants have the opportunity to see their ideas come to life, making a tangible difference in Kharkiv’s recovery and long-term resilience. Winning concept design proposals will be further developed into detail designs for future construction. This will be done in collaboration with locals under an upcoming funded phase.

Museum of Emotions / Edition #5

archiecho — Fri, 10 May 2024 09:51:53 +0200

Registration Deadline: Jul 10, 2024; Submission Deadline: Oct 21, 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 #5 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, Student award 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 - 3,500 €2nd Prize - 1,500 €3rd Prize - 1,000 € + 6 honourable mentionsBuildner Student Award - 1,000 € COMPETITION SCHEDULEAdvance Registration: April 25 – July 10Last Minute Registration: June 11 – September 19 Final registration deadline: September 19, 2024Closing date for submission: October 21, 2024 (11:59pm LONDON TIME)Announcement of the winners: December 3, 2024 More: https://architecturecompetitio...Read the full post on Bustler

#Art4Resilience: Knowledge Into Use Awards

archiecho — Fri, 10 May 2024 00:35:03 +0200

Registration Deadline: May 26, 2024; Submission Deadline: May 26, 2024 This year, we are excited to announce the third round of the awards! The “Knowledge into Use” awards provide a unique opportunity to ignite resilience, celebrate creativity, and embrace innovation in engaging with the latest resilience evidence.Creative expression and art has the power to convey complex issues such as the impacts of climate change, food crises, pandemics and economic uncertainty into accessible and compelling forms. Creative expressions like murals can visually represent challenges communities face and the resilience strategies they employ to navigate through change. Performing arts can communicate stories of resilience, evoking emotions and inspiring action. Sharing recipes and showcasing indigenous, climate-smart meals and ingredients not only highlights the importance of local knowledge but also fosters a deeper connection between culture and climate resilience. Citizen science engages communities in data collection, making evidence more accessible and participatory, while filling crucial data gaps.The “Knowledge into Use” awards identify innovative and creative ways of showcasing resilience evidence. This year’s contest focuses on the themes – Food, Finance and/or Communities. We call upon individuals and organisations to tap into their artistic potential, merge it with sound evidence, and showcase it through art. Prizes of 100,000 Swedish Krona will be awarded to the winners across three categories: performing arts , visualising evidence , and participatory approaches connecting arts and science . Entries ideally connect people and nature, and clearly build on and cite peer-reviewed articles, grey literature, and/or peoples’ experiences. Examples of former Knowledge into Use award winning projects:Youth Innovation Lab (YI-Lab) created a Flood Mural based on data from their Bipad Portal Platform to visually represent risk and convey the significance of data-driven decisions. In their theatre performance, ‘Burnt’, Noble Arts communicated the challenges of climate change and conflicts while showcasing the resilience of individuals and communities.www.globalresiliencepartnership.orgRead the full post on Bustler

Registration Deadline: Sep 12, 2024; Submission Deadline: Sep 19, 2024 As part of the new concept masterplan being developed for the city of Kharkiv, the Norman Foster Foundation along with the Kharkiv City Council, UNECE, Arup and the Kharkivproject Institute are launching an international competition to improve housing and residential neighbourhoods in the city. Located right at the border with Russia, Kharkiv stands as Ukraine’s second-largest city and has been significantly impacted by the ongoing conflict. This historically relevant and industrial city now faces the pressing challenge of rebuilding its damaged urban fabric, with a particular focus on residential buildings and public spaces, to not only repair but to also to improve the living conditions of its residents. This competition is part of the larger Kharkiv concept Masterplan project. The competition will focus on Saltivka, the most-populated district in Kharkiv, and more precisely in North Saltivka, the most heavily damaged area after 24 February 2022. Given the similarity of residential areas across Kharkiv, the greater ambition of this project is to extrapolate the winning designs to other residential areas throughout the city. This competition seeks solutions that bridge the gap between innovative design and practical application. The task is to develop a modular system capable of retrofitting existing concrete panel housing blocks and enhancing public spaces, focusing on creating safe, energy-efficient, and vibrant neighbourhoods. Modular facade and roof components, bomb shelters, and integrating additional uses in ground floors should be considered as part of the intervention. The system should also provide solutions to re-erect severely damaged buildings with a renewed, yet locally rooted, architectural identity. Participants have the opportunity to see their ideas come to life, making a tangible difference in Kharkiv’s recovery and long-term resilience. After the announcement of the winners, selected proposals will be further developed into detail designs for construction. Winning teams will collaborate with locals in this stage under a funded scheme. Given the modular nature of concrete panel housing blocks, building designs were replicated across Kharkiv. Consequently, winning proposals for the selected competition site will be potentially applicable to other residential areas in the city. This is not just a call for creativity but a unique opportunity to positively impact the future of Kharkiv.

Northcrest Developments invites calls for proposals for a high impact festival, performance, installation, or activation on 600 metres of taxiway. Where airplanes were once made, complete communities are coming. The site is a blank canvas ready to be infused with creativity. In the future and in the interim, this will be a place of big ideas. Do you have one that will take off? Northcrest is leading the transformation of the 370-acre Downsview Airport Lands. As a focal point of the site, the runway has historically been a location for major events, including SARSstock: the largest rock concert in Canadian history. Building on this past, we want to make the runway a new destination for culture, creativity, and play in Toronto for the future. With development still decades away, Northcrest has been working with artists, creators, and community groups to create a sense of place through participatory arts and culture, sports and recreation, food and beverage, and community activities. We’re looking for one or more ideas that are imaginative, unique, engaging, and visually striking, to bring people together and advance our vision of creating a new cultural destination in Toronto. The project could last for anywhere from one day to over a month. It must be free or low-cost to the public and accessible to a broad audience. Northcrest will contribute a total of $100,000 to one or multiple projects. To ensure a diversity of onsite experiences, projects with budgets from $10,000 will be considered. For projects with budgets larger than $100,000, applicants can secure external funding. Whatever your idea is — a visually stimulating installation, a live experience, an event, or festival — we want it to bring people together and bring these lands to life in imaginative ways. Northcrest Developments and Changes in Downsview The Downsview Airport Lands are being reimagined as complete communities in collaboration with locals, Indigenous rights holders, and the City of Toronto. Arts and culture will be a big part of the future of this place, both in the final neighbourhoods and while planning is underway. Northcrest Developments is committed to amplifying the rich local arts scene and exploring how equity and diversity will guide opportunities here over decades to come. You can learn more about Northcrest’s plans at: www.northcrestdev.ca Eligibility The project will take place on the Downsview Airport Lands.

A mutually agreeable timeframe will be identified with the selected project(s). • The call is open to applicants of all types, including not-for-profit organizations, for-profit organizations, registered charities, artist collectives, and individuals. • Priority will be given to applicants with a connection to the GTA, but applications from further afield will be accepted. Existing events or festivals, or remounts of installations are eligible, however preference will be given to projects that are imagined or reimagined specifically for the Downsview Airport Lands. Budget • The total funding allocation of $100,000 will be distributed to a single project or shared amongst several projects with lower budgets. Each applicant can ask for between $10,000 and $100,000. We are looking for a diversity of on-site experiences. Unless there are particular concerns with the budget, selected projects will receive their entire ask. For budgets that exceed $100,000, supplementary external funding must be secured by the applicant. • Projects with secured or anticipated additional sources of funding are welcome. Please indicate these additional sources and whether they are confirmed or pending in your application. • The budget should be inclusive of all fees, equipment rental, materials, installation costs, transportation, insurance, permits, and so on.

The Last Nuclear Bomb Memorial / Edition #4

archiecho — Thu, 09 May 2024 18:01:06 +0200

Registration Deadline: Jun 18, 2024; Submission Deadline: Jul 22, 2024 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.

Building on the success and insights gained from our inaugural challenge, this year's competition continues to delve into the critical need for spaces that extend beyond medical treatment. The first editions unveiled inspiring designs that recognized the intricate interplay of emotional, psychological, and physical needs in end-of-life care. This new edition seeks to further this exploration, encouraging architects to innovate and refine their approaches in creating environments that offer comfort, dignity, and a sense of community to those facing life-threatening illnesses. Participants are tasked with conceiving a facility that not only provides medical support but also caters to the psychological and emotional well-being of its visitors. The design should comfortably host up to 15 visitors and 5 staff members, featuring essential spaces such as a common area with a library, a gathering room, a chapel, a kitchen, a dining room, a nurse’s room, and a therapy room for psychological support. In this third edition, we continue to offer participants the freedom to select a theoretical site within their own country, encouraging them to integrate cultural, environmental, and social contexts into their designs. This competition goes beyond architectural aesthetics; it's an opportunity for participants to demonstrate how thoughtful design can offer solace and support to those in the most challenging phases of their lives. PRIZES 3 winning proposals, 2 special award recipients and 6 honourable mentions will be selected.

Registration Deadline: Jun 25, 2024; Submission Deadline: Jul 25, 2024 Nestled within Latvia's lush landscapes, the Sansusī Music Festival is a harmonious blend of nature, music, and communal joy. Celebrated for its innovative fusion of classical chamber music with the liberating atmosphere of a rock festival, Sansusī has evolved from an event into a cherished cultural phenomenon. Surrounded by forest, attendees experience a range of performances, from orchestral to contemporary, set against Latvia's natural beauty. Following the success of the initial architectural competition, Buildner announces the second competition to enhance the festival's infrastructure, aligning with sustainability, creativity, and community engagement.

The challenge is to create a wooden, sculpture-like stage that also functions as a musical instrument, embodying the event's essence and enhancing the festival's acoustic experience. This competition explores how architectural forms can generate sound, inviting designs that serve as both visual and auditory landmarks for Sansusī. This challenge offers designers a chance to contribute to a growing tradition and potentially see their winning design realized as a key feature of future festivals.

Future School for Ukraine: Open Architectural Design Competition

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

Registration Deadline: Jul 24, 2024; Submission Deadline: Jul 31, 2024 Volume Zero Competitions is back with its 2nd edition of the Tree House Architecture Competition. 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

Registration Deadline: Jun 18, 2024; Submission Deadline: Jul 12, 2024 Play the Future - 2° edition - is an international ideas competition for young architects promoted by BeSpace Group, a company based in Lugano, Switzerland.PREMISE AND BRIEFIn the Canton of Ticino, tourism plays an important role and is well above the national average. 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

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.

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. This groundbreaking endeavor aims to harness the power of innovation and collaboration in tackling our time's most pressing global challenges.

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.

The winners will have their Trieste Award Ceremony travel and accommodation expenses covered by the organizing Committee. 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. After the jury’s deliberation, the winning works in both categories will be announced at the awards ceremony on 29 October.Read the full post on Bustler

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.

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.

archiecho — Fri, 09 Feb 2024 17:51:52 +0100

Registration Deadline: Mar 11, 2024; Submission Deadline: Mar 11, 2024 An epidemic of loneliness is sweeping the country. But we at the Better Block believe that through beautiful and thoughtful design, we can create a more connected community.We need your help in doing so.

The competition aims to heal, unite, and inspire sustainability, inclusivity, and human and spiritual connection, and builds from the Jewish imperatives to improve our global community and honor the interconnectedness of all people and the planet.Your challenge is to create a public infrastructure piece that reimagines public spaces as catalysts for creating moments of connection, empathy, and shared experiences. Your creation should be a testament to the idea that design can not only be pragmatic but also bridge divides, foster unity, and promote a deeper sense of connection with the world around us–and it should align with Better Block’s Wikiblock philosophy that anyone, anywhere can create beautiful and meaningful design. Join us in this competition to create a piece that helps reshape public spaces into beacons of connection and understanding.

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.

These are to be thoughtfully considered by designer and client at the initiation of every project and incorporated into the work as appropriate to the project scope. The Framework is intended to be accessible and relevant for every architect, every client, and every project, regardless of size, typology, or aspiration.Why Participate?All submitted projects will gain recognition across AIA LBSB’s social media platforms once the jury announces their decisions.

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

Registration Deadline: May 31, 2024; Submission Deadline: May 31, 2024 In this competition, we invite architects, designers, and dreamers to imagine the future of art as influenced and created by artificial intelligence. The challenge is to conceptualize what an AI art museum might look like in the future. Will it be a physical structure, or exist in the metaverse? How will it showcase the unique creations born from AI?Participants are encouraged to explore the limitless possibilities of AI in art. 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.

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

It is also suggested that participants consider prefabricated components or volumetric modular approach to highlight the benefit of utilizing mass timber for rapid development.Participants should engage with the exploration and resolution of the synergistic relationship between a tall building and its urban setting; how that tall building can be inspired by the cultural, physical, and environmental aspects of its site; how the program of the building is influenced by the micro and macro site/urban conditions; and how the building responds to global issues. Proposals should show evidence of a clear understanding of how considerations of structure, environment, servicing, etc. are as vital to the success of a tall building as the form, materials, aesthetics, etc.Submission DeadlineParticipants must register and submit their project at the submission portal no later than Monday, 5 August 2024 (12:00 PM Central Time).

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. This attachment should be one (1) multi-page PDF file (max. 10 pages) formatted at 11”x17” (ledger) and can include supporting backup data, cal

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

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

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

High-rise building at Tartu mnt 17: ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN CONTEST

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. Additionally, the winner of the competition will receive a prize of 25,000 euros, and the second-place winner will receive 15,000 euros.The deadline for submitting portfolios is November 13, 2023; participants will be selected by November 27.The competition guidelines and annexes can be downloaded here: http://www.elon.ee/ideevoistlu...The area is being developed by Elon OÜ.

A HOUSE FOR HOMO SAPIENS

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.

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. The contest is organized in partnership with KoozArch and with the official support of the Municipality of Curinga.The deadline is January 17th, 2024. It is requested to submit one A1 sheet (59.4x84 cm). The total prizes are 4000 Euro. The submitted projects will be displayed at an exhibition on March 2024 in Curinga, and the winners will be invited to explain their projects to the citizenry.The international Jury members are Bernardo Bader, Amelia Tavella, Federica Sofia Zambeletti from Koozarch and Giovanni Logiudice from Graphisoft.Is it possible to protect a thermal complex from the Roman times?

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

As we navigate this significant shift in work dynamics, participants are tasked with envisioning a flexible, sustainable, and digitally-integrated workspace for approximately 100 employees, which serves as an effective hub for collaboration, innovation, and productivity. A critical aspect of the competition is the strategic selection of the site, either existing or theoretical, reflecting its unique attributes and potential. 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. The competition encourages the creation of future-proof workspaces that respond to a rapidly changing work environment, merge the physical and digital realms seamlessly, and prioritize the well-being of their users.

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

Project OverviewBinhaiwan Bay Area is located at the geometric center of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the core position of the Golden Inner Bay. The Jiaoyi Bay area, as a key area for the recent construction and development of Binhaiwan Bay Area, has completed a number of high-quality industrial projects, such as the Cultural and Sports Park, the Miao Stream Ecological Corridor and so on, and there is an urgent need for it to construct a high-quality slow traffic system. The Corridor of Jiaoyi Bay Slow Traffic System is located at the intersection of Binhaiwan Avenue and Xinghai Road in the Jiaoyi Bay area, which is also the junction of the three major slow traffic vitality points: the Cultural and Sports Park, the Miao Stream Ecological Corridor, and the Gold Coast. To build a high-quality slow traffic system for Binhaiwan Bay Area, optimize the layout of three-dimensional slow traffic facilities, and transform the Corridor of Jiaoyi Bay Slow Traffic System into an iconic landscape node of Binhaiwan Bay Area, an international competition for the corridor design of Jiaoyi Bay Slow Traffic System in Dongguan Binhaiwan Bay Area is specially launched. II. Competition Contents and ScopesThe research scope of this Competition extends north to Dongwan Avenue, south to the coastline of Jiaoyi Bay, west to the planned secondary road of Sha Stream, and east to the planned secondary road of Miao Stream, covering a total area of 65.4 hectares. The design scope includes the bridge design and the node space design of the bridge landing zone. The location of the bridge and the scope of the landing point in the diagram are schematic scope (not red line scope), which means the specific location of the bridge, the plane line, the location of the landing point should be combined with the surrounding land conditions, river navigation, flood control and other requirements for integrated consideration and recommendations. The Corridor should be connected to the Longmiao section of the Gold Coast, the ecological seawall section of the Gold Coast, the Miao Stream ecological promenade and the Cultural & Sports Park. There is no specific requirement for the scope of the landing zone, and no restriction on the plane line of the bridge.III. Working Rules1.

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.

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.

Registration Deadline: Dec 8, 2023; Submission Deadline: Dec 8, 2023 ICON has launched Initiative 99, the global architecture competition to reimagine affordable housing that can be built for under $99,000. With a total prize purse of $1M, ICON is committed to building a selection of the winning designs at multiple locations that will stand as a model for future affordable housing.Initiative 99 exists to unite the global architectural, design and building community in a shared mission to build a better future for those that need it most. Architects from all over the world including firms, individuals and university students are encouraged to participate. “We need a moonshot for affordable housing, and I believe Initiative 99 will be the most important architectural competition in history,” said Jason Ballard, co-founder and CEO ICON. “The current affordable housing landscape seems to have been designed and built without taking beauty, aesthetics, comfort, sustainability, and resiliency as serious requirements. It’s time we attack this problem just as energetically as we’ve addressed other human challenges in the past.”The vision of a home with construction costs under $99,000 has inspired and motivated city planners, developers, government officials and non-profit organizations for decades. 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
