SUMMARY //
Our world is changing fast, while ambitions and challenges match in importance. In this context, design can play a huge role. How do we imagine the world to be? What range of possibilities we haven’t discovered yet? What’s a Non Architecture for a World in crisis? In 2020 we started the second phase of competitions to address the issues of tomorrow.

Area Four Industries A4I Prize

Winter Stations is a single-stage international design competition held annually in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

King’s Cross, London’s 67-acre creative neighbourhood, has today launched a competition in partnership with New London Architecture (NLA).

Beginning Tuesday, January 18, Eastman, manufacturer of Vanceva® Color interlayers for laminated glass, will accept nominations for its 2022 Vanceva® World of Color Awards™, an international design recognition program inspired by the liberal use of Vanceva in both exterior and interior architecture and design. Professional architects, interior designers, glass fabricators, engineers and other industry professionals may enter projects.

“HOME” is a space that is intimate to all living beings on the planet. It has a broader, deeper and personal connection with its user apart from being a physical shelter for humans and their daily lives, a home forms a distinct, intimate connection with its users. The ultimate goal for a home is to ignite
“the idea of belonging” within its sphere and amongst all those sharing the space.

We want to work with you to explore and think about shifting our ways of designing toward a future in which humans are a part, a giving not distracting part, of nature. We sincerely look forward to your participation in this mind-set changing design, so we can pass on with you a better place for youth to grow and connect. This body soul youth healing centre lies on the periphery of the beautiful hilly City of Coquitlam, BC, Canada.
In this hub, a calming pattern of green areas and natural features, evoke the feel of nature and the love for life "biophilia". The centre is providing a natural exciting environment for the youth to grow, exercise, and connect. Design an inspiring place for our young generation.
Help with your ideas!

Introduction

Concéntrico 08, Logroño’s International Architecture and Design Festival, will be held in the Spanish city from 1 to 6 September 2022. The eighth edition of the festival grows in two days to propose new collective uses that strengthen the idea of community in public space.

In 2027, the Weissenhof Estate in Stuttgart will be 100 years old. The famous estate with 21 houses was built for the Deutscher Werkbund exhibition in 1927 under the artistic guidance of Mies van der Rohe. The two houses of Le Corbusier are now part of the World Heritage Site.
After a century of architectural and urban history, now's the opportunity to rethink the built testimonies of modernism and to advance the urban design at Weissenhof with a contemporary model.
To this end, the state capital Stuttgart and the state of Baden-Württemberg, in cooperation with the IBA’27, are going to announce an open international ideas competition for the urban design of Weissenhof and its surroundings in 2022.

Archstorming is launching a new competition in partnership with the NGO Kakolum. We will travel to Casamance, a region in Senegal marked by an identity conflict that started more than 30 years ago and continues to this day. This region, located between Gambia and Guinea-Bissau, faces several challenges, one of which is the lack of classrooms for primary and secondary school children.

To float is to be still. To float is to displace. To float is to decontextualize. To float is to voyage. To float is to survive. To float is to escape. To float is to relinquish a desire. To float is to exist apart from, to be outside of. To float is to venture the possibility of a thought. To float is to suspend disbelief. To float toes the line between desire and necessity.

Brief
The global pandemic has already taken more than 4 million lives and it has
changed the way we work, live, play, and interact with others in so many ways.
Because of COVID-19, our lives will never be the same and the world is still
grieving.
Due to increased pandemic safety measures, many people didn’t have the
opportunity to say goodbye to their loved ones or to honour them properly. The
pandemic’s impact goes beyond the individual losses and throughout the
affected communities, cities, and countries of the World.
Our challenge is to design a public memorial, to honour those who have
departed as a direct result of the COVID-19 outbreak and to bring some closure
to those who are suffering the loss of friends, family, co-workers, and loved
ones. It will be a collective reminder for both present and future generations
and a symbol of hope that mankind can withstand and overcome any obstacle.
This should go along with a short description of your proposal, no more than 150
words.
Location
While there is no defined location chosen as of yet, we are asking participants
to select a site from their home country. It is recommended to choose a location
that is publicly available and accessible to all. This ensures that every person that
has been affected by the global COVID-19 pandemic can visit the memorial and
share in the remembrance of those who have departed as a result of COVID-19.
Eligibility
This competition is open to everyone 18 years and older and it can be developed
individually or by teams. Each team can contain a maximum of 4 members.
