After an overwhelming response to the first edition, theCharette is thrilled to announce the second edition of ‘Alternate Realities’ - the world’s most experimentative architecture competition!
This competition exists in an Alternate Reality. You make the rules in this realm. Does gravity exist? Do humans live on Earth? How far has technology advanced? You decide!
The competition aims is to explore wild design ideas – what architecture truly means and what it can achieve without any constraints. Let your imagination run wild and create spectacular designs that grab the world’s attention. The intention is to spark a conversation regarding issues plaguing the world through design dialogue.
The entries to the Alternate Realities 2022 competition will be reviewed by some of the most influential authorities in architecture and design.

DESIGN SYNOPSIS
Architecture is a unique amalgamation of the nuances of the art world and the pragmatism of the real world; therefore, it has the power to not only capture people’s imaginations, but also to strongly influence their lives.
Participants are required to design an architectural response to an issue that the world is facing – climate change, pandemics, biological warfare, nuclear proliferation, social inequality, etc. Your design doesn’t necessarily have to be a solution. It can also be a visual commentary. Your Architectural Response may fall anywhere on the Utopia – Dystopia spectrum. Remember, reality can be anything you want it to be in this realm.
• Unleash your creativity – Surprise us!
• Be critical – Say something about the world.
• Striking visuals – Capture the imagination of architects and non-architects alike.
• No design is too wild!
