In extreme conditions, how can architecture bring hope and renewal?

This is an international, open, two-round, non- anonymous, Architecture & Urban Design Competition.

The Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC) calls its 10th Advanced Architecture Contest as a global reflection 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.

Every year, the Festival is visited by a large public. In 2023, it received 13,000 visitors and has been widely published in France and abroad.

BRIEF:
Competition is open to everyone including students and professionals. Design a furniture, which is ergonomically sound, cost effective, environment friendly and feasible to build in neglected communities. As we all are aware, inhabitants in slums and other neglected communities lack space to accommodate. The furniture designed shall fit and transform from smaller spaces to larger spaces, based on adaptive user need, help them to store, sit, sleep, read, and write and more.

At the intersection of architectural innovation and social responsibility lies the Inspire Future Generations (IFG) Awards, an initiative by Thornton Education Trust (TET), established in 2021. It celebrates projects and practices redefining the realm of architectural engagement. These awards embody the transformative power of architecture, highlighting its potential to inspire, educate, and enrich the lives of future generations. In particular TET celebrates the engagement of children and young people in architecture and the built environment from a range of practitioners.

For more than 10 years, the international Green Product Awards have been honouring products from companies and start-ups that stand out for their sustainability, design and impact. The annual theme of the Green Product Awards, The Future is now, is reflected in the key visual and in the accompanying special project: together with the German-Dutch architecture firm A01, the best participants of the Award 2024 will be integrated into a European version of the "No Footprint House" that won last year.

To celebrate the opening of Nina Park, Chinachem Group is calling upon creative young talent to co-design a better and brighter future. This competition encourages designers to rethink the conventional function of shelter, explore experimental ideas, propose placemaking interventions and present innovative solutions for design excellence, actions and impact. We’ll offer the winner an opportunity to realise a creative spatial design for an outdoor installation that covers an amphitheatre with shade and seating.

In support of Madrid Architecture Week, Never Enough Architecture (NEA) is excited to present its new initiative in collaboration with the Municipality of Pelayos de la Presa. This initiative seamlessly blends a detailed course on "Adaptive Reuse" and "Placemaking" with a design contest, offering participants a comprehensive understanding of these pivotal modern design concepts.
Adaptive Reuse is a fresh way to change old buildings for new uses while keeping their special look and feel. This way saves materials and helps communities by bringing back old buildings. Placemaking is about making public spaces better for people, focusing on looks, use, and a feeling of belonging.

Since 1992, PAVE Global's mission has been to mentor, inspire, and connect student designers to the extraordinary professional world of creating and designing consumer environments.

Transversal Installation Competition is now OPEN!

Fostering new concepts and fresh ideas from around the globe, this open call challenges architects, designers and enthusiasts to submit original and unconventional design themes for future competitions. The goal is to directly involve our community of creatives, giving them the chance to become TerraViva ambassadors or – if they wish – even part-time and full-time collaborators.
