Archstorming launches a new humanitarian architecture competition to rethink education through earth construction and innovation
In rural Senegal, thousands of children are forced to abandon school after completing primary education due to the absence of secondary schools. This is the case in Djilakh, a village of over 4,000 people with two primary schools but no secondary school—resulting in alarmingly high dropout rates, especially among girls.

The competition entries are expected to deliver:
- Identity and Program of the Park-Forest– A functional solution for the planned program elements with strong design qualities intended for the rest and recreation of citizens. A space should be designed for various activities and events throughout the year –a multifunctional recreational park area with facilities such as an area for rest and outdoor recreation, children's play, sports and recreation, culture/education. The park program should be attractive, inclusive and accessible to all user groups;
- Emphasis on the ecological aspect – the focus is on a design approach that focuses on nature-based solutions, ensuring that the future Park-Forestpromotes biodiversity and improves the stability of the ecosystem. In designing the park, priority should be given to the restoration and establishment of local flora and fauna, contributing to the preservation of nature and improvement of quality of life in the city.

A "CATHEDRAL OF SOCIALISM"

Join the next “modern conversation”: we examine the relationship between time, modernity, and architecture, searching for traces of time. We aim to reflect on the connection between the built environment and the regulation of time, whether through obvious examples like clock towers or less obvious ones such as religious and industrial buildings. What is the relationship between the regulation of time and modernity? How has the introduction of certain structures and typologies shifted our understanding of time and the way we quantify it? What constitutes architecture that is strongly connected to time, and what is truly timeless? What ruptures occur that challenge such architecture?

The stair is one of the most elemental and enduring components of architecture. It is a structure in motion—a connector of levels, a sculptural form, a spatial sequence, and a symbol of ascent, descent, and transition. It guides the body and engages the mind. It is at once practical and poetic.

Light is one of the most important factors when designing homes, and the use of natural light is vital in creating a space that feels both comfortable, inviting and practical. It could be said that lighting is a form of language that architects can use to communicate emotions in the spaces and structures they design.
