Ladakh Ecological Development Group (LEDeG) under ‘Liveable Leh’, a project funded by the European Union and supported by BORDA (Bremen Overseas Research and Development Association) and GIZ (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit), is currently working towards achieving an inclusive, resilient and liveable Himalayan city. The main focus of the project is to mitigate Climate Change and also to achieve Sustainable Development Goals 6 (clean water and sanitation) and 11 (sustainable cities and communities). As a part of this initiative, LEDeG is launching a Global Design Competition on solutions to resolve problems in high-altitude towns, under Work Package 4.8 of the Liveable Leh project.
Open Source Design is the development of ideas without the retention of intellectual property. The goal of this initiative is to propagate a community of designers that are enthusiastic to selfless creation. The Open Source Design Library is a by-product of ARC.HV's experimental study, The 4th Dimension. The products currently range from furniture pieces, installations, jewellery, modular shelters and animal pods. The objective is to use locally available materials consciously with minimum wastage while following a DIY method of making or easy assembly in construction. The Open Source Design Library is also supported by Makers Asylum, who we are grateful to have as the prototyping partners. Download the brief here.
CREA TALENTS is an open&free; Architecture Ideas Competition, sponsored by The Economic Development & Culture Committee. The objective of the competition is to provide maximum freedom to the participants to engage the project without constraints in the most creative way.

Mars is the most Earth-like planet in the solar system; and the only one where humans have conceived setting up colonies in the near future. A human mission to Mars has been the subject of science fiction and aerospace engineer-since 20th century. Private companies and government agencies like SpaceX and NASA, developing this infrastructure, are set to make this long sought-after human dream come true, possibly by the end of 2030.

The 21st Annual Steel Design Student Competition challenges undergraduate and graduate students, working individually or in teams, to explore a variety of design issues related to the use of steel in design and construction. Steel must be used as the primary structural material and contain at least one space that requires long-span steel structure, with special emphasis placed on innovation in steel design. The 2021 Steel Design Student Competition will offer architecture students the opportunity to compete in two separate categories:
Nurturing Architecture: Practice, architecture education and wellbeing
The theme of Nurturing Architecture explores the discipline as both processes and constructions with an ethos of care, of providing nourishment and of supporting growth and development. Inherent in the multiple interpretations of nurturing, is the notion of wellbeing, and the ways in which architects and educators consider the wellbeing of future and current generations of users and other stakeholders, including our communities of architects and students.
The 2021 AIA/ACSA COTE Top Ten for Students Competition invites design solutions integrating health, sustainability, and equity into the design of a building.
Humankind is at a crossroads. A climate crisis that threatens ecosystems and rises social instability. A fast-growing population leading to Earth's resources being consumed faster than ever. A still in progress global discussion about racial and gender issues. A technological revolution disrupting societies and markets —including the design and construction field. And an economic and pandemic crisis as a stress test for all of us.
In this context, architecture has been navigating through sequential changes over the last twenty years with the rise and latter consolidation of new technologies, tools, formats, topics, scales, and interdisciplinary approaches, along with the emergence of the Internet that led towards a disruptive decentralization of the architecture production and discussion.
