The Italian Prize for Sustainable Architecture is part of the International Prize for Sustainable Architecture, founded and promoted since 2003 by Fassa S.r.l.

The Paradyż Designers Competition is an opportunity for architects, interior designers, and students studying in art- and architecture-related fields to envision and design modern spaces with large-format sintered stone. Now in its 3rd edition, this international competition includes a prize pool of €42,000, including a trip to the Salone Internazionale del Mobile Furniture Fair in Milan, and is judged by renowned members of the architecture and design fields.
After winning the international competition for the design of the Vltava Philharmonic Hall in May 2022, Danish studio BIG-Bjarke Ingels Group has now developed the design into a detailed architectural study. The project continues the central concept of the competition, that of connecting the riverbank with the venue’s rooftop via a meandering path that expands the public space and invites visitors to engage with the new building. Construction is expected to start in 2027, after completing the project documentation for the building permit and selecting a contractor. The Philharmonic Hall is expected to open in 2032.
The TRANSFER Architecture Video Award is an independent award, launched in 2019, to recognise the most creative and innovative short films in the field of architecture, city or landscape worldwide.

The Harvard & the Legacy of Slavery (H&LS) Memorial Project Committee invites artists, architects, designers, multi-disciplinary teams, and other creators to express their interest in conceiving a site or sites on Harvard’s Cambridge campus for commemoration and reflection, as well as for listening to and living with the University’s legacy of slavery. We seek expressions of interest from those with investments of thought and practice in memorialization, ritual, community-building, history, and questions about the future. In particular, we are interested in creative visions that activate and make visible complex dynamics, such as: permanence and vitality; honor and rebuke; ecology and the built environment; institutional interest and the common good. We welcome submissions from individuals, collaboratives, and teams rooted in traditional or non-traditional memorial practices at any stage of their career.
Frank Lloyd Wright’s Martin House (Buffalo, New York) is pleased to announce a call for applications to its Creative Residency Program.

World Monuments Fund (WMF) invites nominations for heritage places facing urgent challenges. Every two years, the Watch selects 25 places that tell a local story with global relevance and works with communities to amplify preservation efforts through advocacy, capacity building, and close collaboration with WMF’s expert team and professionals around the world. The most competitive nominations will illuminate a place’s deep importance to the past and present while inspiring action on the most pressing issues of our time.
The Changdong-Sanggye area, situated in the northeastern metropolitan center of Seoul, Korea has been designated as an 'urban regeneration area' with the aim of creating an economic and cultural hub suitable for "2030 Seoul Plan". The goal of this competition is to develop a new concept for the complex center that integrates public transportation transit facilities, apartments, offices, and commercial spaces within District 2 of the Chang-dong urban development zone, to inspire creative designs that align with the 'Comprehensive Concept Plan for the Urban and Architectural Spaces of Seoul for the next 100 years.', and to select the optimal design that revitalizes urban regeneration and promotes residential welfare from functional, social, and economic perspectives.

Missing Middle and Mixing Middle housing forms, the subjects of Urbanarium’s previous ideas competitions, are becoming mainstream policies. Urbanarium’s next competition again explores missing middle housing, this time at the high end of that density range.
The program task of this competition is the conceptual design of the congress center with a proposal for arrangement of additional facilities along the route of the road to Dubrovnik within the given location within the part of the zone "Draženska Gora", the city of Trebinje. The congress activity is a polyvalent symbiosis of new facilities that MH “ERS“ wants to establish on the territory of the city, and they represent multifunctional economic and cultural branches that also have some quite specific benefits compared to other types of business. The congress activity combines the expanded scientific, professional, educational and commercial branch of the economy. Meetings of this type present the latest professional knowledge and achievements in a particular field, thus including the area where the meeting takes place in the map and the agenda cycle of a particular activity. The architectural and spatial framework for their realization is a hybrid facility of combined content that primarily enables hosting of congress events. The architectural features of a new complex and its content indicate future developments in the construction sector in the zone of its location; by activating the area concerned, it gains in value and becomes a desirable location for aditional attractive facilities. The idea to build a congress center at a given location is part of a broader vision of the development of "dubrovački pravac" of the western zone of Trebinjsko polje (karst field); along with the congress center, it is necessary, at the level of the urban scheme, to design a wider ensemble of additional facilities, namely: a high category hotel, a sports hall and certain public city purposes facilities.
For architects, planners and designers, cities have turned into testing canvases for solutions that lead to both short and long-term changes. The paradigm shift in the built environment switches the narrative of how the public realm approaches complex challenges related to climate, urban sprawl, mobility, housing, among others. The goal of this competition is to experiment with site-specific case studies that can work as open laboratories to test novel approaches on urban transformation. Participants have complete freedom to outline the program, the overall output and the extents of their proposal. Likewise, the size and complexity of the intervention will be defined by each team according to the needs of that specific neighbourhood, plot, city or community.
Project name: Architectural Scheme Design of North Area (Section 2) of International Collaborative Innovation Zone of The Hetao Shenzhen-Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation Zone Project location: Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province Deadline for pre-qualification application: 17:00 on December 26, 2023
