The AIA DC - Urban Design Committee (https://www.aiadc.com/committee/urban-design-committee) has a fun stay at home challenge for everyone. In this challenge, let us look at what is happening outside through the lens of a camera (cell phones make for great cameras). So, open your windows and share your images!

When we take photos, we use all kinds of things to frame our images and get the viewer’s eye to focus where we want it: architectural elements, monuments, cityscape, lighting. You know what can be a great frame? An actual frame — a window frame.

Windows make up an abode, but they are

NEW REALISMO - INVENTORY OF HUMAN EXPERIENCE.
Is a catalogue of gestures in PNG to make people reflect on and perceive the city and the social spaces from a new point of view.

Starting from the resources familiar to them, Lashup decided to contribute creatively by documenting the experiences of people living the social spaces at the time of a global health emergency.

As the Italian Neorealism represented a narrative of reality in Italy after the Second World War, so the project restarts from this concept expanding it from global "NEW" to local "REALISM", considering the impact of the situation on the whole

GIDA 2020 - Goldreed Industrial Design Award - is the new international design award sponsored by the Xiongan Future Industrial Design Institute, with the aim of promoting at international level the concept of “harmony” applied to design.

The award sets for itself from the very beginning the objective of becoming a major reference in the international design field, by providing a

BRIEF
Being a successful architect is very hard. While this is no secret to anyone who has lead a team or studied the profession; the less obvious thing is what to do about it.

Architects stereotypically lean on the purity of their ideas over their practicality and application. Schools rarely teach about business and firms are subject to the swings of both the client and the economy. These cracks in the business model of architecture are constantly debated but industry-wide action seems non-existent.

At DesignClass we've been asking ourselves; can architects responded to these challenges by developing their own projects?

The second annual MICROHOME architecture competition is part of the Bee Breeders Small Scale Architecture Appreciation Movement, which hopes to highlight the fact that bigger isn’t always better. With great design and innovative thinking, small-scale architecture could change how this and the next generation view residential property.

For the MICROHOME 2020 architecture competition, participants are invited to submit their designs for a micro home - an off-grid modular structure that would accommodate a hypothetical young professional couple (which will be used as an example of family size throughout the competition series). The only requirement is that the structure’s total floor area

With The Next 100 Years Project – Architect Edition, we invite architects to speculate on the built environment after the pandemic. It can be a simple cocktail napkin sketch or an elaborate drawing. It can illustrate the smallest detail or the broadest brush stroke of public or private space. It can be pencil or charcoal or crayon or even watercolor, but it has to be done by hand. We also ask architects to write a 100-word essay that describes their image and their vision for the future. The entries will be judged by a panel of design professionals and the

LIVING IN ISOLATION
The COVID-19 pandemic has presented the world with unprecedented challenges and is impacting our daily lives
by restricting our personal movements radically. It almost goes without saying that this month has continued to
see extraordinary, rapid and previously unthinkable changes to public and private spaces. As the virus continues to
spread, countries around the globe have ordered citizens to retreat to their homes - and stay there. Social distancing
measures drastically scaled down our personal range of movement to our ‘own four walls’.
These drastic changes caught us, and our living environments, off guard. As we shelter in our own homes, the rooms

When in 2009 Jacob Ross Boswell, in his article "Dystopic Verdure" in MONU #11 on "Clean Urbanism", introduced the topic of diseases, such as malaria, cholera, tuberculosis, yellow fever, and typhus etc, and how they had impacted urban landscapes and the shape of cities in the past, we were very intrigued and considered dedicating an entire issue on this topic. Particularly fascinating were his elaborations on how, by the second half of the 19th Century, urban designers and landscape architects such as Daniel Burnham, Frederick Law Olmsted, and a host of other architects, planners, and landscape architects collaborated with medical

Aarhus School of Architecture proudly announces the second edition of the international competition, Photo Of The Year, which is a joint collaboration with Dreyers Foundation and Dinesen.

This year’s theme takes its inspiration from the global Corona Crisis, which with the beat of a butterfly´s wing has

Our world is changing fast, while ambitions and challenges match in importance. In this context, design can play a huge role. How do we imagine the world to be? What range of possibilities we haven’t discovered yet? What’s a Non-Architecture for a World in crisis? In 2020 we started the second phase of competitions to address the issues of tomorrow.

In line with our style we propose 9+1 themes – ten critical topics to work on, but this time they come with a framework to make sure that each theme is explored from different design angles. Rather than a program, a

The world today is experiencing unprecedented demographic growth and consequent urbanization of various places. Rapid population growth in urban areas usually gets coupled with poor planning of physical and social infrastructure along with a lack of individual and communal sanitary consciousness.

The rural areas in many developing countries face a lot of problems caused by poor sanitation facilities such as pollution of water sources, a high rate of waterborne diseases, and high expenditures on curative health care.

Open defecation and urination are still rampant in urban and rural areas of developing economies and such practices pose a grave risk to the health

Construction alone accounts for more than 30% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions and must now be reinvented to meet the ecological, economic and societal challenges of doing better with less, reducing its environmental footprint, limit the consumption of natural resources; build more responsibly and sustainably.

It is by pursuing these objectives that we engage our energy and our ideas in the development of new constructive ways. Bio-based materials, recycled, reused, smart and sustainable construction will be our tools to meet these challenges.
In the diversity of offer that the construction offers today, the marine container is an alternative offering a great

The Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC) calls its 8th Advanced Architecture Contest as a global reflection to rethink human habitats, at a time when the fight for life and climate allows us to consider how we would like to live in the coming decades.

The contest encourages participants to propose a design related to their way of life, at the scale that most interests them from our bodies to the city, anywhere in the world, and that reflects different cultural, environmental, economic or social conditions.
