The Architecture of Coexistence

The theme of the Student Project Awards approaches care from a collective perspective, focusing on the spaces that nurture better ways of living together: the architecture of coexistence.

Architecture has the power to bring people together, bridging differences of age, culture, and background. It can foster belonging, cultivate dialogue, and create environments where communities thrive in dignity and diversity. One essential interpretation of coexistence will be center-stage throughout the Student Project Awards: designing inclusive spaces for communities.

We invite students to interpret this theme through a conceptual architectural project that demonstrates how your design responds to the call for an Architecture of Coexistence.

Projects will also be evaluated on how well they embody the values defined in The ArchDaily Guide to Good Architecture:

  • Considerate & Inclusive

    Respectful of users, communities, and environments, and accessible and attentive to diversity.

  • Durable & Protective

    Built to last in material, function, and relevance, and safeguarding people, ecosystems, and heritage.

  • Holistic & Useful

    Integrating multiple dimensions of design and impact, and responding effectively to needs and purposes.

  • Innovative & Resourceful

    Offering fresh ideas, approaches, or solutions, while making intelligent and responsible use of materials and systems.

  • Local & Desirable

    Grounded in context, culture, and place, and creating meaningful, engaging, and inspiring experiences.

The Jury

The Student Project Awards jury panel is a diverse and highly esteemed group of architects and professionals who represent different facets of the profession. Tasked with evaluating the shortlisted projects, the jury panel will bring their experience in the industry to the selection, ensuring that the winners accurately represent the Awards theme.
