Stroke survivors usually stay in rehab for a long time thus, the rehab has lots of potential to improve stroke survivors' recovery. The "Next Generation of Stroke Rehabilitation Centres" competition challenges students to design a rehabilitation center for 30 stroke survivors with new and ambitious ideas. This competition aims to optimize rehabilitation design based on research outcomes to meet stroke survivors' needs better as they recover.

The City of Los Angeles has issued a Request for Ideas (RFI) inviting artists, architects, designers, students, and other members of the public to submit ideas for a permanent physical memorial to a shocking but largely forgotten incident in Los Angeles history: the lynching of 18 Chinese at the hands of a vigilante mob in Los Angeles on October 24, 1871, the largest massacre of Chinese in California history and the largest mass killing of any kind in Los Angeles history (almost 10 percent of the city’s Chinese population at the time). Here is a link to the RFI.

Beam Center seeks design proposals for ambitious public artworks that will be brought to life through collaborations between youth and creative big thinkers. Projects will be realized by a community of more than 100 young people at each of our three 2023 Beam Project sites: in New Hampshire (NH), on Governors Island (GI), and in a local NYC community. Artists are invited to submit proposals for any or all of these three sites, but each proposal must be unique to a specific site. Artists proposing for Beam Project NYC are also encouraged to consider potential installation sites and partners, and to include these in their proposal. Winning proposals will be selected by a committee composed of Beam Center staff, youth, past project designers, and community members.

Whether act of God or a superior force, our society responds to and prepares for Force-Majeure scenarios on many different scales. It has become increasingly obvious in the past year that disasters, both natural and human-made, exacerbate inequities in our society by unequally limiting access to healthcare, green spaces, fresh food, transportation, and education for our most vulnerable populations. Strengthening our communities allows us to be more resilient in the face of future Force Majeure scenarios. How can we as design professionals help support and provide care for the most vulnerable groups of people in our society? AIA Austin's DesignVoice Committee, in partnership with AIA Austin COTE, propose Force-Majeure, a design competition that addresses contemporary issues that are impacting our lives.

The state capital Düsseldorf is facing a decision for a location for the new development of an opera house. After an extensive examination of potential site locations, the current location of the Düsseldorf Opera House, at the Heinrich-Heine-Allee, as well as the location at „Am Wehrhahn 1“ were chosen as capable options. Through this urban planning competition, the state capital Düsseldorf aims to garner concepts for both of the prospective building sites. The result of the competition should highlight each locations potentials and possibilities, to form a substantial basis for an informed location decision of the LHD after evaluation. Following to the political decision, a competition for realization is intended. Both building sites exhibit different fundamentals for the accommodation of an opera house for the future. Specific goals of the urban planning competition are: - urban design of the opera halls cubage, - verification of functional and area specific requirements developed by the city of Düsseldorf, - representation of the opera hall within the urban context and junction with the surrounding urban fabric - and especially the elaboration of the benefits for the city in purpose of „an opera for everyone”
While active lifestyles have increasingly been the focus of many people to stay fit physically, deep healing can still not be reached. As cities keep growing and daily realities quickly shift, people turn to new ways to maintain their well-being. For centuries, designers had missed a vital link to sustainability and well-being, which is the human beings’ inherent love for nature.

INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION FOR CONCEPTUAL URBAN-ARCHITECTURAL SOLUTION FOR A CITY QUARTER J14 – RASADNIK SKOPJE, MUNICIPALITY OF KISELA VODA "City quarters are the largest element or part of the city, viewed as a two-dimensional element, in which the observer enters as in something new, because he knows that that urban element has a special character." – Kevin A Lynch
Archstorming’s new competition takes us to Mozambique, a country marked by a great number of long-lasting challenges. Although there has been a substantive increase in the household income, over two-thirds of the population still live below the poverty line. This Sub-Saharan Africa country is ranked 139th out of 159 countries on the UNDP’s Gender Inequality Index. Women are exposed to threats of diseases, discrimination and violence. Around 94% of girls in Mozambique enroll in primary school, but despite this high number, only 11% of girls continue to study in secondary schools. As girls grow older, they are met by an increasing domestic workload and more responsibilities. Many girls have no choice but to stay at home to do chores or work to help their families. Teen pregnancies prove to be a major reason for girls dropping out of school early. 30 to 40 percent of girls are pregnant before they turn 18 years old. Taking care of a child, working and performing household chores can be overbearing and leave these girls no time for school.
INTRODUCTION Contemporary architecture has started to receive more accusations of emotional coldness, and restrictive aesthetics, distanced from humans and life (Pallasmaa, 2015). An essential solution to improve the quality of life is to reconnect architecture with emotions and feelings. Architecture is the main element of our environment. Architecture has an impact on emotions followed by behaviour. As the architectural space changes, humans act, think, and feel differently. It is important to architect human emotions of positivity, to create an environment that reduces negative emotions.
