More than a year into the COVID-19 pandemic, it is clear that cities—and their citizens—have undergone significant changes. Adapting to new ways of using public space, leveraging these areas to address the pandemic's toll, staying home, rethinking workspaces, city-provided facilities, and our modes of mobility—among many others—will remain challenges as we await further progress in vaccination efforts.
Construction is the most obvious reward for an architectural project, but very often in order to make things buildable, architects have to sacrifice innovation and creativity and surrender to business as usual. Non Architecture launches an award to honour those projects that didn’t take that approach and are unbuilt and unbuildable, either because they were designed to stay as such, or because their innovative charge brought them into the realm of the unpractical. We want to reward their innovative and experimental character with an award, organized in 4 categories – Urban, Landscape, Architecture and Aspatial.

Building is one of very few endeavours that are physically connected to the surface of the earth, fixed and enduring. Nevertheless, for centuries, especially in the West, we have considered ourselves separate and above nature, drifting away, defining our own systems and order, and using the ground as a nothing more than a passive foundation. Other times we sought connection, drawing on nature for ritual and religion, fortified protection, and ecological balance.
Within the academic dialogue and reflection space 'Del territorio al Detalle,' which brings together architecture professors, students, and renowned architects, the spin-off 'Del territorio al detalle .re' explores, through informal conversations with key figures, the thesis that a territory's richness stems from its ability to renew itself by activating its own disused spaces, thereby transforming them into challenges and resources.
