Frank Lloyd Wright’s Martin House (Buffalo, New York) is pleased to announce a call for applications to its Creative Residency Program. The residency provides individuals from multiple disciplines a thought-provoking environment in which to produce new works of the imagination inspired by one of the great examples of 20th century architecture. Applications to the 2027 season will open on March 30, 2026 and close on April 24, 2026. They will be accepted in two distinct categories. The Artist Program supports the development and presentation of creative works as they relate to Martin House. The Researcher Program provides opportunities to conduct research that will lead to published texts or projects in various fields, again as they relate to Frank Lloyd Wright and Martin House. Creative makers who are selected to participate will generally spend 2-4 weeks onsite either consecutively or incrementally within the residency term: June - October, 2027. Residents are also expected to deliver a free public program, performance, exhibition, or other creative presentation in order to share their Martin House-inspired work with the larger public. Residents will receive a stipend of $5,000. Travel expenses of up to $1,000 will also be provided to residents who are from outside the Buffalo-Niagara region. The Creative Residency Program is an opportunity for the Martin House to respond to and engage with our community. We anticipate that it will lead to more robust interpretations of Frank Lloyd Wright, the Martin House, and the people who once lived and worked here so as to expand the dialogue as to what great architecture is and why it matters.
ET CONTEST is an architectural design competition inviting ideas, visions, and proposals for the architectural and landscape transformation of the former mining site of Sos Enattos, in Sardinia. The site is one of the candidates to host the Einstein Telescope (ET), a cutting-edge European scientific infrastructure set to become the world’s most advanced third-generation gravitational wave detector.
There’s a housing crisis. Construction projects are facing delays. There’s concern about the declining role of the architect. Despite this, remarkable architecture is still being created.

The School of Architecture at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) is now accepting applications for the “2026–27 Douglas A. Garofalo Fellowship. Named for the architect and educator Doug Garofalo (1958–2011), the nine-month visiting faculty teaching and research fellowship provides emerging designers the opportunity to teach design studio and seminar courses and conduct independent research, culminating in a public lecture at the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts and an exhibition or public conversation at the school.
IE School of Architecture and Design at IE University announces the fifth edition of the IE MBArch Entrepreneurship Challenge, an international initiative inviting architects and designers to explore the intersection of design, business, and innovation within the built environment.
The annual Antepavilion commission is an initiative to develop, construct and display experimental structures offering emerging artists, makers and architects an opportunity to create new work within a complex urban environment.
We, a group of ten hens (in collaboration with Outsider Magazine), are launching an architectural competition. We need a new chicken coop. Our living standard has not changed significantly for centuries: a few planks, some straw, and the simple logic of “keep it covered and closed so the fox can’t get in.” While people debate living, sustainability, structure, materials, light, and microclimate, hens remain stuck in a kind of pre-modern era—which, let’s be honest, does not reflect well on the progress of architecture for animals.
Vilnius has launched an open international architectural competition to select the design concept for the future Vilnius Congress Centre, a flagship venue aimed at transforming the city’s competitiveness in the global meetings and events market.

Modular Arctic Cabin, Generated with LeonardoAI, Lucid Mode
[premise] The acceleration of climate change has amplified the scientific urgency to study Earth’s polar regions. Traditional research stations are often permanent, carbon-intensive structures with significant logistical and environmental footprints. This competition challenges architects and designers to envision the next generation of scientific outposts. We seek a paradigm shift towards a mobile, modular, and sustainable architecture that can be deployed, reconfigured, and removed with minimal impact on the fragile Arctic ecosystem. This new model must prioritize energy self-sufficiency, operational resilience in extreme conditions, and the psychological well-being of researchers living in prolonged isolation, thereby enabling more agile and responsible scientific exploration.
The Commonwealth Association of Architects (CAA) is pleased to launch its 2026 Awards Programme, inviting architects from across the Commonwealth to submit work that demonstrates significant contributions to addressing contemporary global challenges including climate change, rapid urbanisation, biodiversity loss, and social inequality.
