Wiswakharman Expo is an annual architecture event series held by architecture students of Universitas Gadjah Mada. Every year, Wiswakharman Expo brings a fascinating theme. This year we hold an International Architecture Competition with the theme of “Communal Space for Social Raise”

This year's MiG challenge reflects on Moshe Safdie's statement "I want my buildings to take root and look as if they've always been there. It isn't about pastiche or adapting what's already there. It's about trying to blend the future and the past."
This difficult task raises the problematics of the site within the framework of the glocal - a term coined in the 1990s to think about globaliזation dialectically, as an interdependent process of integration and diversification, in which the local is shaped by the global, but also that locality becomes ever more important either as resistance or as a motor of innovation.
In light of recent developments such as the worldwide pandemic, climate crisis, and the fracturing of the international political order, it is time to reconsider the agency of the local. The 2023 MIG prize challenge is to rethink how the local is redefined by these worldwide challenges through cooperative and confrontational interaction with other localities and scales of reference.
The proposed project should make a clear statement in regards to the status of locality in its different material, environmental, cultural and social aspects as it adapts to inflows and outflows of people, ideas, memories, technologies, resources, natures and capital, and test its architectural implications in the design of a building that is both rooted in the place's past and proposes a vision of a possible future.
The project must be detailed to the scale of a building (i.e. 1:100 or 1:200) and include an explanation of the ideology behind the design. The design must address the well-being of the users and respect the surrounding environment of the proposed projects.

The competition participants are requested to design an innovative Yurt structure informed by and in collaboration with a local Central Asian community that can be built within two (2) months and with an overall budget of CAD$4000. The design must be innovative and practical, aimed to solve a real need by a local community to improve the quality of their life.
We invite designs that can be built using local materials but with modest modern technological improvements for joints and other components to increase structural stability and achieve the adoption of new technologies such as off-grid electricity, better thermal insulation, users’ improved comfort and a new look. The idea is that people can still carry, assemble and dismantle the yurts themselves with no specialized help or transportation.
Keywords: deployable structures; Yurt; local materials, digital fabrication, spaceframe/lightweight structures.
Awards: Stage One: 1st place CAD$500, 2nd place CAD$300, 3rd place CAD$200 Stage Two: CAD$4000 to build
Mentorship: The top three projects will receive mentorship from the jury to better develop their design and strategize construction in collaboration with the local community of their choice.
Registration: Participants must e-mail info@architectonic.ca to register and receive an entry code.
Language: English is the official language of the competition; however, where appropriate, other languages can be incorporated with English translation.

Créé en 1988 et composé d’une dizaine d’architectes, l’Atelier Pierre Thibault place en dialogue constant le territoire québécois, ses paysages, ses saisons et son architecture vernaculaire de manière à créer des projets intimement ancrés dans le milieu naturel et culturel. Fortement influencé par les lieux qui l’entourent, l’Atelier a su se démarquer sur les scènes nationale et internationale grâce à son approche sensible, empirique et intuitive. Cet univers intriqué et poétique de lieux, d’images et de typologies qui l’habitent se matérialise dans le cadre de l’exposition, proposant aux visiteurs une immersion littérale et figurative dans l’imaginaire architectural québécois et des territoires qui le compose.
Scénarisée en un archipel composé de plusieurs ilots-territoires, l’exposition utilise le corpus distinctif de Thibault et son équipe pour interroger les différents rapports entre un projet d’architecture, son site d’implantation, son contexte culturel et naturel. En résulte une constellation architecturale distillant l’essence du travail de l’Atelier, brillant à la fois par sa constance et sa capacité de renouvellement, et ce depuis une trentaine d’années. Articulée autour des médiums de prédilection de l’agence - maquettes et croquis - l’exposition s’ancre dans une volonté de construire des ponts entre différentes approches architecturales et paysagères et de stimuler des échanges durables et lumineux entre cette profession, les territoires qu’elle construit et le grand public.

HarvardxDesign is an annual conference launched in 2012 and led by students at the Harvard Graduate School of Design this year. We bring together creative thinkers, industry leaders, professors, and students to engage, debate, and reinterpret the design process across scales and sectors. Our goal is to share knowledge, tools, and resources that can empower creatives to become change agents through design.
