The Global Challenge is an annual competition organized by A--D that recognizes the most sustainable architectural projects around the world, and helps accelerate their development.
In June 2021, we launched our 2nd Global Challenge. The quality of 2021 entries perfectly illustrated the radical potential of the architectural practice that we call Do-It-Together. From a total of 202 applications, we selected six finalists together with our jury members. The finalist teams later joined a 6-month accelerator program aiming to boost the capacities of these teams, connecting them to the expertise and resources that they needed the most.
To close out the 6-month accelerator program for our 2021 finalists, we asked the project leaders and board of experts where the Global Challenge (GC) had helped them the most. They identified ‘Finance, Network, Project Development, and Recognition’ as GC’s biggest contributions to their projects’ success. As we gear up for #GC2022 we’re keeping these critical success factors strongly in mind.
