Winter Stations is a single-stage international design competition held annually in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Participants are tasked with designing temporary winter art installations which incorporate existing lifeguard towers spaced strategically across the city’s Kew and Woodbine beaches. The structures (not in use in the wintertime) must not be ignored in the design and can be used as either an armature for the installations, a central feature, or other- wise linked to the installation.
This autumn, Open House Worldwide (OHWW) will stage its first collaborative event: a free 48-hour non-stop streamed festival of events, discussions, tours and more.
With contributions from architects, designers, urbanists and citizens in over 40 Open House cities from across the network, Open House Worldwide will tackle the most important issues facing our built environments across the world, from the climate crisis to housing; transport to post-pandemic design.

Architecture Schools Outside the Box, debate series
Speakers from Latin America and around the world join Venezuelan architects—both abroad and within Venezuela—to reflect on the exercises conducted within their educational spaces, workshops, and teaching experiences in communities and architecture schools. These "out-of-the-box" operational methods break away from conventional teaching, driven by a defiant attitude toward approaching themes, contexts, and disciplinary problems that are typically absent from standard curricula.
