This September, non-profit organization Building Trust will host a Live Build Workshop in Laos, in partnership with the local Free the Bears Fund rescue centre. Participants are invited to work with the Laotian local community and Free the Bears staff to construct a design a sustainable merchandise store within the bear rescue centre. The store will allow Free the Bears to sell merchandise that will in turn fund their ongoing bear conservation projects in Laos and beyond.
Tamayouz Excellence Award warmly invites architecture, urban design, urban planning, architecture technology, and landscape design students from around the globe to participate in the prestigious 2024 International Graduation Projects Award. This is a unique opportunity to showcase your innovative projects and gain international recognition. An independent, international jury of experts will meticulously review all submissions to select the winners, ensuring a fair and comprehensive evaluation process.
The purpose of this architectural design award is to recognise the excellence in architectural design and education worldwide and showcase excellent architectural examples to promote and provoke architectural debate to share architectural experience and knowledge among young architects and academics.
Welcome to the EMERGING TALENTS AWARD!
ABOUT YBD
Interior design is the art of creation of space inside a building to achieve a more aesthetically environment for those who live in it. Remaining works from hundreds and thousands of years ago are evidence of the ancient art of interior design in Iran. Considering the historical background of this art in Iran, the first Interior Design Award was established in 2009 as an independent event by Honar-e Memari Institute.
The World Around and Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain, in collaboration with Triennale Milano, announce IN FOCUS: RADICAL REPAIR — a free public program in Milan as the first event of their collaboration.

Matrix: How We Live Now is a timely new exhibition exploring the work of the Matrix Feminist Design Co-operative, a radical feminist architectural practice active in London from 1980 to 1996. The exhibition features items drawn from the collective’s open archive, alongside projects from researchers at the Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning on gender, bodies and ecologies. Join us for a series of floor talks and panel discussions during the exhibition on important topics including architecture and community, bodies and cities, and writing diverse histories of architecture.
The First Ever Metaverse Architecture Biennale "Presence of the Future" 2023 Unites Global Creators to Reshape Web3 and the Metaverse
Parametric Architecture introduces a series of upcoming workshops in partnership with ArchDaily. In this workshop, participants will learn advanced methods to maximize control, efficiency, and quality. In addition, they will be taught design principles and how to engage creatively in the age of AI. The course will also cover post-processing techniques, productivity strategies, essential resources, and an overview of other applications to prepare for the oncoming AI boom.
The AI Creative Challenge aims to encourage participants to use these AI-powered tools to generate visually impressive designs. Through human prompting, crafting, and imagination, participants will steer AI algorithms to create original designs that push the boundaries of architecture.
Incorporating AI tools like Midjourney and Dalle2 in the design process allows for rapid ideation, exploration, and visualization of concepts while deepening our understanding of AI's creative potential. These tools provide a unique opportunity to examine the interaction between human and artificial intelligence and assess the benefits of collaboration in the creative process.
Parametric Architecture introduces a series of upcoming workshops in partnership with ArchDaily. This workshop aims to provide comprehensive knowledge and practical skills in designing efficient geometries while leveraging data and visualization techniques to gain insights into the structural performance of their designs. Students will learn the fundamentals of parametric design, structural analysis, and optimization techniques, enabling them to create structure-aware and visually appealing architectural and engineering designs.
In this workshop we will explore together the urbanist concept of the ‘15-Minute City’ alongside London-based architectural group Archigram’s ‘Instant Cities’. You will be invited to explore the surrounding hidden gems of modernist architecture in Notting Hill. Participants will record, document, and represent their surroundings through a range of techniques and materials, such as: collage, photography, rubbings and drawing.
The Singapore Institute of Architects (SIA) presents the highly-anticipated annual Singapore Archifest for its 17th iteration starting late September this year. Directed by Calvin Chua, Archifest 2023 warmly welcomes you to “Interim: Acts of Adaptation”– an invitation to rethink our built environment as continually being in a state of transition. Presenting itself as a lab, this edition of Archifest investigates the potential of adaptive architecture as the mode of action in response to pressing environmental, cultural, and technological change.
Join architect Nzinga Biegueng Mboup, principal of the Dakar-based practice WOROFILA, for a lecture on designing and building in the Senegalese context, with references to its climate, culture, traditions and unique “concrete modernity.” Mboup will address working with biomaterials, passive design strategies, her various cultural projects, and her research and collaborations. A Q&A session will follow.
By re-contextualizing the history of architecture through the discourse of disability, David Gissen’s 2023 book The Architecture of Disability: Buildings, Cities, and Landscapes beyond Access challenges current modes of architectural practice, theory and education by proposing architecture that fully integrates disabled persons into its production. Both the author and book look beyond traditional notions of accessibility and show how certain incapacities can help to positively reimagine the roots of architecture. A Q&A session will follow Gissen’s presentation.
Parametric Architecture introduces a series of upcoming workshops in partnership with ArchDaily. These workshops are designed to empower architects, designers, and enthusiasts with the latest insights and skills in the realm of parametric design. Led by industry experts and thought leaders, these immersive sessions will delve into cutting-edge techniques, innovative tools, and real-world applications, fostering a dynamic learning environment where participants can elevate their design capabilities to new heights.
