As individuals, we all have the power to create a more equitable and compassionate world. The 67th Year Annual NASA Design Competition, organised by the National Association of Students of Architecture, India, is designed to inspire participants to go beyond conventional design thinking. Moderated by Ar. Dean D'Cruz, it challenges you to craft not just spaces but environments that elevate humanity and promote inclusivity alongside positive change.

The SOM Foundation is pleased to announce the opening of the 2024 Research Prize. Applications to this year’s Research Prize should conduct original research that contributes to the topic, “Advancing Toward a Water-Secure Future.”

The city of Kharkiv stands as Ukraine's second-largest city and has been considerably affected by the ongoing conflict due to its proximity to the border with Russia. During the first conversation between the Kharkiv Mayor and Norman Foster in the United Nations' Second Forum of Mayors, the Mayor underscored the importance of creating a new landmark for the city. This ideas competition seeks to inspire local and international experts to propose design solutions for an iconic building in Kharkiv—the Regional Administration Building—as well as for the public realm of the adjacent Freedom Square. The proposals should offer a holistic intervention that envisions a prosperous future while enhancing the historical significance and identity of Kharkiv. This competition is part of the larger Kharkiv concept Masterplan project: a local and international initiative of the Kharkiv City Council, the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) within the framework of the UN4UkrainianCities initiative, the Norman Foster Foundation and Arup among others.

Do you have a visionary idea that pushes the boundary of what's possible? The Forge Prize from the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC), challenges architects, educators, and students to create design concepts that embrace innovations in steel as the primary structural material--and $25,000 in prizes.

Do you have an idea that can bring about meaningful change and positively impact the built or unbuilt environment around you? Do you have an idea that addresses the need of the hour that is practical and implementable? If your concept can drive economic growth, foster innovation and unite communities, or if it’s an idea for a scalable startup that meets the current or future needs within the ACED fields, the Saint-Gobain Grants Program is the perfect platform to bring your vision to life!
