Frank Lloyd Wright’s Martin House (Buffalo, New York) is pleased to announce a call for applications to its Creative Residency Program. The residency provides individuals from multiple disciplines a thought-provoking environment in which to produce new works of the imagination inspired by one of the great examples of 20th century architecture.
Applications to the 2027 season will open on March 30, 2026 and close on April 24, 2026. They will be accepted in two distinct categories. The Artist Program supports the development and presentation of creative works as they relate to Martin House. The Researcher Program provides opportunities to conduct research that will lead to published texts or projects in various fields, again as they relate to Frank Lloyd Wright and Martin House.
Creative makers who are selected to participate will generally spend 2-4 weeks onsite either consecutively or incrementally within the residency term: June - October, 2027. Residents are also expected to deliver a free public program, performance, exhibition, or other creative presentation in order to share their Martin House-inspired work with the larger public.
Residents will receive a stipend of $5,000. Travel expenses of up to $1,000 will also be provided to residents who are from outside the Buffalo-Niagara region.
The Creative Residency Program is an opportunity for the Martin House to respond to and engage with our community. We anticipate that it will lead to more robust interpretations of Frank Lloyd Wright, the Martin House, and the people who once lived and worked here so as to expand the dialogue as to what great architecture is and why it matters.

Our Call for Ideas for Forecast's 2026-27 Edition Is Open!

There’s a housing crisis. Construction projects are facing delays. There’s concern about the declining role of the architect. Despite this, remarkable architecture is still being created.

The School of Architecture at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) is now accepting applications for the “2026–27 Douglas A. Garofalo Fellowship. Named for the architect and educator Doug Garofalo (1958–2011), the nine-month visiting faculty teaching and research fellowship provides emerging designers the opportunity to teach design studio and seminar courses and conduct independent research, culminating in a public lecture at the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts and an exhibition or public conversation at the school.

The Master in Collective Housing (MCH), in collaboration with TC Cuadernos, a renowned architecture magazine, has announced the second annual call for research grants. This grant, aimed at supporting architecture thesis or research projects, offers up to €6,000 to help transform the work into a published book.

When I recently found myself flooded, during the ever-expanding shopping frenzy of the so-called Black Friday season, with offers branded as Singles' Day deals, it struck me: singles have become a remarkably powerful force in our societies. The prominence and intensity of Singles' Day—a celebration that began among students at a Chinese university in the early 1990s and has since grown into one of the largest global shopping festivals—underscores that singles are no longer just a demographic statistic, but a transformative presence reshaping cities and economies worldwide. That is why we aim to investigate, with this new issue of MONU entitled "Singles Urbanism", how singles transform cities and to understand the spatial consequences of life lived alone, and the growing prevalence of living outside the traditional structures of coupledom and family, and its urban influence.

The 6TH biennale svizzera del territorio, organised by the Istituto Internazionale d’Architettura in Lugano, is launching a call for action on the theme “handle with care”. The call is open to professionals of all ages and from all over the world.
Building, demolishing, building again... that is easy. But caring for things, making them last, keeping them alive, repairing them. That is a difficult task. You have to observe, listen, pay attention. Study, understand. Recognise what exists, even if it’s fragile, even if it’s not perfect. You need allies. It’s a task for those who know from experience the consequences of destruction, who know the price of maintenance, who know a thing of beauty is a joy forever. If you can handle it, caring is power.
Proposals can be of many kinds, ranging from installations, constructed or transformative interventions, to performances, artistic works, or architectural visions.

The Institute for Public Architecture (IPA) welcomes applications for the 2026 Independent Project Residency based at the historic Block House on Governors Island.

The prize is an annual competition dedicated to recognising outstanding writing on design, architecture and environment. Celebrating the power of the written word, participants are invited to inform, intrigue or persuade readers by presenting novel arguments or interesting narratives on the built environment. Stemming from Epistle's mission to democratise architectural discourse, the prize seeks to highlight compelling voices and stories from the Global South, bringing attention to previously unheard perspectives.

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?

Manchar Lake Art Residency is offering an opportunity for four emerging artists working in any medium; and one for mid-career practitioner or collective of upto three people, for a site specific installation.

TraMod AWARDS 2025 | The Third Year
The World`s First International Award on Interactions between
Tradition & Modernity
in Architecture & Design

Join us at the forefront of change for the Ocean Futures Conference 2025. Proudly presented by the Institute of Smart City and Management (ISCM), College of Technology and Design, UEH University alongside our global and local partners, this year we set our sights on the vast potential of the Blue Economy - a theme that redefines how technology and design interact with our planet's most vital resource: its oceans. The blue economy is not only a driver of economic growth, but it also plays a crucial role in safeguarding sovereignty, ensuring national security, and promoting sustainable development.

Michel Foucault, in La volonté de savoir (1976), described how the mechanisms of the examination of conscience belonging to the pastoral tradition of the 17th century progressively extended to all areas of society, marking the threshold of a biopolitical modernity. Here, the 'will to knowledge' is not the subject's drive for research, but the injunction to bring into the field of knowledge-power those borderline domains of life that had been previously excluded from it: death, birth, sexuality. This process of the adherence of knowledge to bodies entirely invests our time and urges us to reflect on the figures of the 'will to knowledge' in the new millennium: the questions of surveillance, of the constant and widespread mapping of life in its social and biological dimension, of ubiquitous visibility, of the collapse of the limits between inside and outside, between inside and outside of work, of wakefulness, of private life, are explored by artistic and design forms.
'The will to knowledge' also carries a more straightforward, primary meaning: here we encounter the sphere of the desire for knowledge and its challenges, a theme constantly evoked today – above all, that of finding orientation within a hypertrophic labyrinth of information. Thus, a few years after Foucault's work, we encounter another text on the inexhaustible drive towards knowledge, its infinite resources of seduction, its lethal traps. With The Name of the Rose (1980), Umberto Eco constructs a thriller whose origin lies in the will to knowledge, with a book at its centre and, surrounding it, the desire of the aspiring initiates in opposition to the strenuous defence mounted by the custodians of tradition.
The 'will to knowledge' evokes both the symbol of infinity, to express the limitless scope of knowledge, and the labyrinth, to indicate its intricate structure and the countless possible paths through it.
