1. Background - The current Daegu City Hall in Dongin was constructed in 1993, and the City Council building in 1956. Due to aging facilities and a shortage of administrative space, the city has been leasing nearby office buildings and operating in a dispersed manner since 2004. - Among these, the former Gyeongsangbuk-do Provincial Government Office, built in 1965 and currently used as the Daegu City Hall in Sangyeok, is located approximately 4 km or a 15-minute drive from the Daegu City Hall in Dongin. This facility is also fragmented across several buildings, making it inconvenient for citizens to visit, significantly reducing administrative efficiency, and resulting in considerable unnecessary expenditures. - As a result, the necessity of constructing a new city hall was brought into public discussion. Since the initial construction plan was established in 2004, a Citizen Participation Committee consisting of 250 citizens took part in the site selection process in 2019, ultimately selecting the Duryu Water Purification Plant site in Dalseo-gu as the final project location.

Enter the Concrete Pavilion Architecture Competition now! 10,000 € in prize money! Closing date for registration: November 27, 2025
Concrete is one of the most ubiquitous materials in the built environment. Its legacy spans centuries, from the enduring marvels of ancient Rome to the modern monoliths of contemporary architecture. But beyond its familiar gray tones and formidable strength lies a world of design potential, yet to be fully unlocked. With this competition, Buildner invites architects and designers to rediscover concrete—not just as a structural solution, but as a medium for innovation, expression, and experimentation.
Architectural competitions have long offered a space for experimentation: platforms where ideas can be tested, typologies reimagined, and critical questions addressed through design. Freed from some of the constraints of commercial commissions, competition entries often reflect ambitious visions for how architecture can respond to environmental, cultural, and social challenges. Whether focused on future habitats, public institutions, or small-scale community infrastructure, these proposals give shape to the values and priorities driving architectural thinking today.
This month's Unbuilt selection brings together eight competition-winning projects submitted by the ArchDaily community. Each received first, second, or third place in recent local and international competitions. The featured proposals span a wide range of programs and geographies: a sustainable library in Lima, a Martian habitat exploring closed-loop systems, an adult orphanage designed for empowerment in India, a new French school in Athens, and a placemaking initiative in Singapore rooted in local folklore. While varied in scale and scope, they all highlight architecture's capacity to engage context, foster inclusion, and propose new ways of inhabiting space.
