The 16th edition of the international Award of architecture and design “Eurasian Prize 2021” gathered representatives from 22 countries across the world. The competitioners presented their projects located in 29 countries and 46 cities of the world. The Eurasian Prize Award winners are all judged by the international jury panel composed of worldwide standing in architecture and design from 16 countries. Among them, Daniel Libeskind, Piero Lissoni, Doriana Fuksas, Rodolfo Machado, Erik Van Egeraat, Sanjay Puri, Tetsuya Matsumoto, Andrey Bokov, Christos Passas, Todd Saunders, Mikko Summanen, Yosuke Hayano, Juho Grönholm, Jeroen Schipper, Michel Rojkind, Costas Voyatzis, Colin Seah, Ken Yeang, Syed Fawad Hussain and other outstanding masters of architecture and design.
The competition program “Eurasian Prize 2021” includes 18 nominations in three professional categories “urban planning”, “architecture”, “design”, and 3 nominations in the student competition.
At the conclusion of the jury’s voting, on the basis of competitive selection regulations, the Organizing Committee formed a long list of semi-finalists who will participate in the popular vote and shortlist finalists who will be included in the information and PR campaign. The finalist projects were included in the short list that received the highest evaluations. The top evaluation in each professional categories is a three - a maximum score with the status of “implementation” and with the status of “project”.
According to the results of popular vote, there will be one additional award in each category («urban planning», «architecture», «design», «student contest») - the special prize ‘Audience Choice Award’.

“An accidental Masterpiece” and “The Barcelona Pavilion by Mies van der Rohe. One hundred texts since 1929” Book Launch at the Barcelona Pavilion.

Architects and specifiers can now nominate their projects for the internationally recognised Architectural Ironmongery Specification Awards 2022.

The BERKELEY PRIZE encourages undergraduate architecture students to expand their academic education by going into their communities and investigating how the built environment best serves and best reflects the everyday lives of those for whom we design.

Join the American Institute of Architects New York's (AIANY) Emerging New York Architects Committee (ENYA), the Future of Practice Committee, and a distinguished body of global computational design leaders on Saturday, November 6, for a one-day symposium and workshop to explore how computational thinking can be used to solve design problems.

We present two new publications on the Mies van der Rohe Pavilion, edited by Dietrich Neumann with David Caralt. The editors have rigorously collected, selected, and curated the voices of researchers and artists into two volumes that will serve as essential reference books for anyone interested in the Pavilion and modern architecture.

The Terraforming is a three-year (2020–2022) design-research initiative of the Strelka Institute, directed by Benjamin H. Bratton and Nicolay Boyadjiev. The program runs as an interdisciplinary design think-tank and will host contributions from multiple faculty and experts including Lydia Kallipoliti, Clapperton Chakanetsa Mavhunga, Tobias Rees, Valerie Olson, Christina Agapakis, Ken Goldberg, Venkatesh Rao, Fred Scharmen, David Delgado and many others.
The third and final cycle of The Terraforming program invites a group of 30 interdisciplinary researchers to join the initiative for 5 months from February - June 2022.*
The premise of the design research program is that a viable future depends on comprehensive terraforming, not of Mars to make it suitable for Earth-like life, but of Earth itself — ecologically, geopolitically, geotechnologically.
The research of the first two years has reoriented foundational debates on how to conceive and model that viability, based on speculative analyses of synthetic intelligence, automation and ecology, food systems, space law, new modes of governance, the evolution of cities and much more.
The final year returns to the question of the built environment at multiple scales, from the epidermal to the continental. Artificial environments are designed spaces for diverse functions and ways of being and knowing: the city, the laboratory, the factory, the home, the space station, virtual and mixed reality, the body itself, etc. All speak to the planetary as both the condition that makes specific enclosed worlds possible and also as a collective compositional project. In 2022 The Terraforming is adding a new chapter of motivating research themes - Artificial Environments, Astropolitics, Synthetic/Spatial Materialism, Planetary Sapience.
The program is tuition-free (researchers receive a monthly stipend) and invites architects, urbanists, filmmakers, media theorists, historians, philosophers, science-fiction writers, artists, engineers, economists, political scientists, ecologists, anthropologists and graphic designers to apply and work collaboratively on interdisciplinary projects at the intersection of cinema, text and speculative design-research.
Applications will be accepted till November 7, 2021.

Norwich University is proud to announce the 2021 High School Architecture Design Competition: Pocket Place

The Colegio de Arquitectos Tabasqueños A.C. (CAT), in collaboration with the Federación de Colegios de Arquitectos de la República Mexicana A.C. (FCARM), will host the 110th Ordinary Assembly of the FCARM on November 19 and 20, 2021, at the Centro de Convenciones Tabasco 2000 (located within Plaza Galerías Tabasco), at Av. Planetario s/n, Col. Los Ríos, C.P. 86035, Villahermosa, Tabasco, Mexico. Simultaneously, the CAT will coordinate a series of events taking place from November 18 to 20, 2021, within the same venue, featuring professionals and experts in the field of architecture, as well as students in related fields and the general public. The scheduled events are:

Join The University of Texas School of Architecture with Lucy McRae for a lecture on “Story As Future Survival” live-streamed on the Texas Architecture YouTube channel.

Join The University of Texas School of Architecture with Teresa Gali-Izard, of Arquitectura Agronomia, Barcelona, for a lecture on “CONNECTING DOTS: Circular Metabolism and Regenerative Practices for the Twenty-First Century” live-streamed on the Texas Architecture YouTube channel.

ACA's 8th International Design Competition 2021 with the theme, ‘MONADIC ARCHITECTURE’, an attempt to investigate design outcomes through reintroducing Monadic / Modular architecture in the contemporary domain as an undeniable answer to meet some the rural and urban building needs. IDC 2021 attempts to inculcate this need of the future and encourage young minds to embrace this method of design evolution. The competition entails the submission of a design proposal that involves the repetition of a single module to create space and form. The building typology can range from housing to schools to budget resorts and office complexes. The proposal must address a solution to a specific problem in their country of origin.

Registration is now open for the 2022 admissions process for the undergraduate program in Architecture and Urbanism at Escola da Cidade. Evaluations and interviews will take place in December, aiming to assess the potential of prospective students through their general knowledge, specific skills, and their ability to analyze, synthesize, and construct arguments.
