The vision of an integrated, educated and conscious society is what nations are looking for to develop their human contribution. The interaction of people with their environment in one way or another is what characterizes the vacuum in which they exercises their function. This is precisely the most important goal of architecture of the place competition, which aims to link people with their daily functions with the place in which they works, lives, and develops. Hence, we see the future of the city of Suhag in designing an integrated cultural center that aims to educate and develop people and how to respect identity, history, the environment, and most importantly, the person who lives for creating Architecture of the place.

Architecture shelters and protects. Yet too often, the built environment also perpetuates entrenched biases as well as a domineering and extractive view of the natural world.

Never Enough Architecture (NEA) is launching a new initiative that joins education and contests. The initiative combines traditional architecture competitions with free expert-led courses, giving participants a comprehensive understanding of the contests’ central topics.

The Circular by Design Innovation Festival takes place as part of Design Week Ireland 2022. It is co-hosted by NCAD, the Creative Futures Academy and the Design & Crafts Council Ireland, and made possible with the support of the CIRCULÉIRE Innovation Fund and DCCl through Enterprise Ireland.

As the growing complexity of our world presents us with ever-growing challenges at an unprecedented speed, our built environment has become one of our society’s most critical questions. From energy scarcity to inequality, density, diversity, waste, food production, circular economy, and identity—it all converges into the built environment. To face this, architecture needs to evolve and scale. 

During the last century, our profession has followed a linear evolution since the breakthrough of modernism, but the growing pressures have laid out the perfect scenario to push architecture to take its next leap. We see an increasing number of architects questioning the way we organize and practice, seeking to have a wider, stronger, faster, and more scalable impact. And they are choosing to do things in a new way, creating new practices, companies, collectives, or startups that are leading the revolution with their new approaches, proposals, and solutions, and inspiring others to join. 

'Design is not about solving technical problems or only about beauty,' says lighting planner extraordinaire Ulrike Brandi. 'It's a social profession and we have very big challenges right now", she adds.

This symposium explores concerns central to the history and theory of architecture today. Formed around three panels featuring invited speakers and contributions from the cohort, the event addresses the missing links in relationships between histories, theories, and the practice of architecture; architecture and related disciplinary fields; and the voices, bodies, and stories omitted from the canon.

Since its inception, UNStudio has been known as a speculative practice, producing real world projects through the means of research, experimentation, testing, and conceptual frameworks.

This exhibition demonstrates how the principles of the circular economy can help create more sustainable, net zero architecture for the future.
