“HOME” is a space that is intimate to all living beings on the planet. It has a broader, deeper and personal connection with its user apart from being a physical shelter for humans and their daily lives, a home forms a distinct, intimate connection with its users. The ultimate goal for a home is to ignite
“the idea of belonging” within its sphere and amongst all those sharing the space.

We want to work with you to explore and think about shifting our ways of designing toward a future in which humans are a part, a giving not distracting part, of nature. We sincerely look forward to your participation in this mind-set changing design, so we can pass on with you a better place for youth to grow and connect. This body soul youth healing centre lies on the periphery of the beautiful hilly City of Coquitlam, BC, Canada.
In this hub, a calming pattern of green areas and natural features, evoke the feel of nature and the love for life "biophilia". The centre is providing a natural exciting environment for the youth to grow, exercise, and connect. Design an inspiring place for our young generation.
Help with your ideas!

Introduction
This competition intends to understand the history of architecture through the lenses of the photographer. A photograph that powerfully portrays the past glory of the present architectural ruins.

Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and the Museum of Architecture (MoA) have launched a competition to find three exceptional designs to create three treehouses across RBG Kew's UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of a larger ‘Treehouses at Kew’ Exhibition. 

‘Treehouses at Kew’ will be Kew’s main exhibition running from April to October 2023, and provide one of the most unmissable visitor experiences of the 2023 London cultural calendar.

Rescuing the architectural and cultural value of the Churches of Chiloé, concluding the series on Modern Architecture in Uruguay, and addressing interculturality within the territory, geography, and heritage are all part of the contents of the 45th edition of the Association of Architecture Offices (AOA) magazine, which was recently presented.

With V-Ray 5 for SketchUp, Update 2, Chaos has introduced intelligent new tools that make it easy for architects and arch-viz artists to create incredible renders. You can make use of the free models and materials provided in Chaos Cosmos, customize surfaces with V-Ray Decal, and tune your render with LightMix and post-processing.

In this tutorial, V-Ray Product Specialist Ricardo Ortiz uses an interior scene to demonstrate how these powerful new additions can accelerate your creative processes and add extra details for exceptional photorealism.

The "Landscape Architecture" specialization aims to train specialists committed to landscape planning and intervention from an interdisciplinary perspective, considering environmental, social, and cultural issues. The program has the potential to attract a nationwide audience due to the contemporary discourse on landscape, the need to update concepts—expanding the functional aspect of the landscape—and the broadening of perspectives through methodological practices aimed at long-term urban sustainability, resilience, and responses to urban ecosystem services. The online format facilitates reaching a more diverse audience, targeting independent professionals or those employed by private companies, public agencies, or non-governmental organizations who hold an undergraduate degree.

Archstorming is launching a new competition in partnership with the NGO Kakolum. We will travel to Casamance, a region in Senegal marked by an identity conflict that began over 30 years ago and continues to this day. Located between The Gambia and Guinea-Bissau, this region faces several challenges, one of which is the lack of classrooms for primary and secondary school children.

Over the past twenty-five years, academic and disciplinary circles, as well as the field of urban policy, have witnessed a resurgence of debates and innovative experiments regarding the capacity and limitations of architecture and urbanism to operate politically. Various international courses, programs, and texts exemplify this trend; activities conducted at schools and universities such as Barcelona, Harvard, Columbia, and the Universidad de Chile illustrate this process. Meanwhile, in the realm of urban policy, Latin America has presented a series of internationally acclaimed experiences, such as Social Urbanism in Medellín, the Favela-Bairro program in Rio de Janeiro, and incremental public housing interventions in Santiago, Chile. This work analyzes the recent reinstatement of political concerns within the international academic and disciplinary agenda, exploring the conceptual implications of understanding architecture and urbanism as forms of political action.

How many times have you heard the old claim that “Email is dead”? Surely, more than once. To the surprise of many, and despite the rise of new messaging tools like Slack and Microsoft Teams during the pandemic, Email remains by far the most widely used communication tool in many businesses. Every day, more than 300 billion emails are sent and received globally, and employees spend an average of 5 hours checking their online correspondence. This trend is only expected to rise in the upcoming years, especially within project and client-based industries – like architecture, engineering and construction – that heavily rely on this means of communication.

However, its consolidated use doesn’t always equal efficiency, particularly in companies that don’t set up the necessary internal processes to file emails in a central space. With the silent threat of poor mail management, many architecture firms and other businesses must face unnecessary risks, time and productivity costs, and increased stress among workers.

It is no secret that reflective, intellectual, and theoretical work has accompanied the authors of classic architectural works and related disciplines: from treatises, manuals, and books to other printed or digital publications that have transformed their content based on historical, political, social, and technological contexts, to name a few.

The Sarañani! Festival of Native Architectures of the World (Let’s Walk) fulfills its promise as a traveling festival, arriving in Oaxaca, Mexico, for its second edition. From January 27 to 29, the Sarañani! Festival will bring together global architectures that share the goal of achieving more equitable and responsible living. Hosted from Oaxaca, the event is made possible through a partnership with the Roots studio, led by architect and artist João Boto Caeiro, whose work is recognized for its exceptional quality, integrating tradition, sustainability, and social purpose. This year’s theme, presented in the Nahuatl language, references the Oaxacan custom of Tequio—a form of collaboration that invites collective efforts to preserve the knowledge of living in community.

The London Festival of Architecture and the Neighbourhood Regeneration Team at Lambeth Council have launched a new design competition, which invites architects, landscape architects, designers, artists, and creatives from across London, to develop and submit a proposal that animates Wilcox Road in Lambeth and transforms it into a welcoming gateway to the newly opened Nine Elms Tube Station.

Globalworth Foundation and Igloo – Habitat and Architecture Association announce the deadline extension for the student competition 2031 NOW_our cities in 10 years, due to competition complexity pointed out by participants.

From planning to construction, architecture is more than designing buildings. With many multidisciplinary actors involved and the continuous flow of images, plans, and files, any project is also about managing large amounts of information. Because architects usually have tight deadlines – having to complete a certain number of buildings in a specific time frame – data must be managed productively and efficiently. However, as construction projects and delivery methods continue to increase in complexity, managing information has become more difficult than ever. And with the COVID-19 pandemic added to the mix, architecture firms now have a remote workforce which impacts how and where employees access information. Therefore, in order to ensure effective project delivery, the challenge lies in successfully managing project information.

Concéntrico 08, Logroño’s International Architecture and Design Festival, will be held in the Spanish city from 1 to 6 September 2022. The eighth edition of the festival grows in two days to propose new collective uses that strengthen the idea of community in public space.

In 2027, the Weissenhof Estate in Stuttgart will be 100 years old. The famous estate with 21 houses was built for the Deutscher Werkbund exhibition in 1927 under the artistic guidance of Mies van der Rohe. The two houses of Le Corbusier are now part of the World Heritage Site.
After a century of architectural and urban history, now's the opportunity to rethink the built testimonies of modernism and to advance the urban design at Weissenhof with a contemporary model.
To this end, the state capital Stuttgart and the state of Baden-Württemberg, in cooperation with the IBA’27, are going to announce an open international ideas competition for the urban design of Weissenhof and its surroundings in 2022.
