The School of Architecture at the University of Illinois Chicago is now accepting applications for the 2023–24 Douglas A. Garofalo Fellowship. Named in honor of the architect and educator Doug Garofalo (1958–2011), the nine-month fellowship provides emerging designers the opportunity to teach design studio and seminar courses and conduct independent research, culminating in a public lecture at the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts and an exhibition or public conversation at the school.
The competition task covers the part of the Municipality of Budva, which represents the center of cultural, entertainment and informative events. The proposal for the competition deals with four natural and heritage environments: the water area, the beach, the green area and the promenade. For the Competition for the development of a conceptual urban and architectural design for the promenade in the "Budva Bay" part of the Budva-Bečići promenade, phase I, participants are being asked to design a site plan for the development of a new identity for the city of Budva. It is necessary to provide a basis for the creation of collective awareness at two levels. At the primary level, it is the creation of collective awareness among the citizens of Budva as permanent users of the space and their treatment of the environment in which they find themselves. At a secondary level, it is the image that the city sends to the world and to tourists as temporary and occasional users of the space. It is of utmost importance to derive inspiration from vast cultural heritage of Old town of Budva and its 2500 years old history and future urban development. Special attention should be paid to the dispersion of facilities covered with the proposal for competition, with an emphasis on the linear flow of user movement and intersection with lateral directions from the hinterland and contact zones. It is necessary to radically change the mode of use of the coastal strip of land with an emphasis on the introduction of public areas for communication, recreation and outdoor events. The competition is open to all. No professional qualification is required. Design proposals can be developed individually or by teams.
There is less than one month left to submit to the 2022 CTBUH International Research Seed Funding initiative, kindly sponsored by AECOM, with an award of $15,000. The goal of the seed funding is to assist talented researchers in developing projects and ideas to a level that would secure additional, more significant, funding—in conjunction with CTBUH. Proposals should relate to the tall building typology/urban habitat but are open to any topic or discipline. Proposal submissions are due by 15 January 2023.
There is less than month left to submit to the 2022 CTBUH International Student Research Competition, kindly sponsored by Ramboll. This competition challenges talented students, working in groups under the guidance of a professor, to focus on a relevant research question and create an engaging response, with the winning team receiving $15,000 in funding. Research proposals should directly relate to the 2022 topic of “Sustainable Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat” and can come from any topic/discipline. It is up to the students to interpret the theme and outline how their research will address it. Submissions are due by 15 January 2023.
Novecento Two-in-One Lighting System is the new design competition by Novecento and Desall. Creative talents are invited to submit proposals for a versatile and modern LED lamp that can be installed both as a flush ceiling light and a pendant light. The lamp should be intended for large-scale distribution and must be designed for private indoor spaces, acting as a piece of furniture even when not in use (lights off). Participation is free of charge.
The Geometric Computing Laboratory (GCM) at EPFL is looking for an Artist/Designer in Residence to explore new applications of our most recent research results. Research conducted at GCM explores the interface of geometry, computation, and making. We aim to translate our research findings into applications through design studies and artworks. The goal of the residency is to explore new ways in which to apply our research results for creative expression. Specifically, we aim to collaboratively create an art piece or design prototype that will be exhibited and publicized in appropriate venues. The residency at GCM can last for up to three months starting in March 2023 at the earliest.

Real-time visualization takes a 3D architectural model and transforms it into something that can be used to communicate with those less technically inclined. Your vision and design intent can be understood easily, which allows you to make decisions faster.
Architectural visualization technology has made this process accessible, but many tools on the market claim to offer the same thing; real-time updates, a seamless design experience, and high-quality, industry-standardized renderings. So, how do you know which one to choose?

Daylight is core to realizing healthy and sustainable buildings, but its dynamic nature and the complex ways in which it interacts with its environment make it a difficult discipline to master. The new version of VELUX Daylight Visualizer makes climate-based daylight modeling more accessible than ever, empowering architects to make the best use of daylight anywhere in the world.
The Ravages of War: My Heartfelt Account is architect Marta Miret Rodríguez’s new book. An account written from the emotions that the Ukraine war arouses in her. Ukraine is a country that she knows due to her profession as an architect ―she lived it and experienced a humanistic and architectural transference towards it. This process helped her to put into words her emotions and all the feelings that this tragic war stirs up in her. What it has aroused in her.
