Call for Submissions: FABRICATE 2027

The FABRICATE Call for Works is open and the organisers are looking for innovative projects from research and industry to be a part of this international event.
Call Deadline: 3rd July 2026
Call Details: https://www.fabricate.org/
Submission Guidelines: https://www.fabricate.org/submission-guidelines-2027/
Submission Stage 1 consists of an Abstract of 600-800 words with 10-15 embedded images that declare and clearly demonstrate the specific research innovation as built, and in the development of being built. High quality images of design and fabrication processes should predominate the selection, with 3-4 images of the work as complete.
The 2027 Edition focuses on rethinking extractive models of architectural production, learning from local contexts, and empowering more diverse communities of designers, makers, and builders. FABRICATE is looking for work that engages meaningfully with material, social, and environmental questions across diverse scales and geographies.
Since its inception FABRICATE has played an important role in promoting innovative work at the intersection of design and making—bringing forward projects that challenge how architecture is conceived, materialized, and constructed. It has been a platform not only for technological advancement, but also for new ways of thinking about practice, materiality, and impact. While FABRICATE has often been associated with advanced manufacturing and robotics, this year FABRICATE is also interested in broad critical shifts in the field.
The event is co-chaired by Areti Markopoulou (Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia) and Xavier De Kestelier (Hassell) aiming to strengthen ties between industry and research.
FABRICATE 2027 will take place on the 14th and 15th May, 2027, in Barcelona, Spain, organised by IAAC and hosted by COAC (Col·legi d'Arquitectes de Catalunya).
Any updates regarding the calls and tickets will be posted on the FABRICATE website and Instagram Channel (@fabricateconference).

Having designed and rehabilitated high-rise buildings, the agency is continuing its research into combining verticality, well-being and innovation. In 'The Virtues of Verticality', it offers ideas for restoring the legitimacy and desirability of this urban form.

Call for entries: Memorial to the Sixth Extinction - An Open International Ideas Competition

There have been five major extinction events in Earth's history, the fifth being the obliteration of the dinosaurs by an asteroid some 65 million years ago. For many plant and animal species today, humans are now the greatest threat to their survival. This is known as the sixth extinction, and its grim ledger is the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. The unrestrained destruction of animal habitats for our cities and food production is the equivalent of a slow-motion asteroid. And yet, it is only the human who has the capacity to prevent a real asteroid hitting Earth.
