The new ecopoints will have to be composed of a modular system of structures within which urban containers for separate waste collection can be inserted.

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.

Vileda Next Generation Ironing Board
New product design contest on Desall.com: Vileda is looking for an innovative ironing board concept dedicated to non-professional users and characterised by premium features and an ability to immediately differentiate itself from competing products and current market standards.

With the »District of the Generations«, the city of Schorndorf, a medium-sized center with about 40,000 inhabitants in the Rems-Murr district, is planning an urban development extension of the »suburb« to the north of the train station. The goal is to develop a dense neighbourhood where multiple generations can come together to live, work, and care for one another. The core of the plan is the 1.5 hectare site of the former construction and municipal depot. Proximity to the city, good quality of life, and a strong sense of community should be created in the new district through common living spaces, as well as through the combination of public areas and diverse options for local infrastructure, education, leisure, and culture. The project managers are intentionally focusing on resource-saving, low-emission energy and material concepts. The area should be designed to have low vehicle traffic, with a focus on public local transportation and spaces for sharing services and deliveries.

· INTRODUCTION ·
December 16 2021, Super Typhoon Rai, locally known as Typhoon Odette, made landfall in the Philippines. The storm was unexpectedly powerful, undergoing what is called “rapid intensification” the day before making landfall, which is becoming characteristic of tropical storms occurring in our warming climate. With winds of up to 195 km/h and gusts of 260 km/h, the storm was comparable to a category five hurricane when it hit.

Hidesins Luxury Display Design
YSY GROUP, Hidesins and Desall invite you to design a family of “pop up” display installations dedicated to women's ready-to-wear bags and high-tea desserts. The installations will be positioned within 5-star luxury hotels, and in particular within tea rooms. The goal is to promote the brand and its core product (women’s bags), creating a unique, unexpected and engaging space in which hotel guests can take photos to post on their social networks, and then continue the experience at the table as they enjoy a refreshment.

Title of the Competition : International Design Competition for Namdo Righteous Army History Museum

Espace Rivière is a project to house a library and maison de la culture, along with community and recreational spaces and an Accès Montréal office in a de-partitioned building. The multidisciplinary architecture competition will involve construction totalling approximately 10,060 m2 of gross floor area.

Candidates participating in this competition are asked to design a floating pavilion on the Drava River, which would serve as a small stage and a place for contemplation by the river. The pavilion is primarily intended to serve as a venue for smaller events and shows (small bands, discussions with notable guests, wine tasting, etc.), but also as a relaxation site, offering views of the river and the historic city centre. The small stage will particularly serve its purpose during the Lent Festival in June as an additional performance stage. It is necessary that the floating construction can be moved easily to another location by the river (if required) and be adapted quickly to different programs. The pavilion should highlight the existing qualities of the area, ensure a better connection between the elevated Lent riverbank and the river and, consequently, invite people closer to the river.

The goal of the competition is the redevelopment of the market area in via Buontalenti and piazza Cavallotti, through the regeneration of a central urban space for the city, which gives an input to the renewal of the historic center of Livorno. The result will have to be an increase in both the commercial and social vocation, accentuating the urban quality, welding it to the recovery and implementation of market functions and aggregative functions, with a proposal that takes into account a vision of both the specific and general urban context.

The aim of this competition is to encourage students to brainstorm design solutions for issues that plague the world and mankind. The problem can be of any nature ranging from design problems to environmental problems. You have no constraints as to what you can design or redesign, it can be a product, a building, a space, a neighborhood, a city, or even a new type of technology.

Following the success of last year’s competition, the London Festival of Architecture (LFA) is delighted to launch the second edition of Showroom Showcase competition, which will see a series of innovative paper installations by emerging architects and designers displayed in some of London’s leading design showrooms. International showrooms Gaggenau and VitrA will be taking part in the 2022 edition of Showroom Showcase. More showrooms will be announced at a later date.

Please take a look at what www.nf-architecture.io launches. Architectural competition for a Salon d'Art XR. Extended reality needs to become more than nice renderings and simple copy of reality in virtuality. What is the sense of architecture in virtual worlds and what can architects produce and implement that goes beyond game design? I am sure we will get super interesting ideas from our students and that architecture and it's meaning and power goes far beyond what we see with classical architects going viral. Virtual reality is not a marketing hub. And architects therefor should not abuse it as such but implement basic ideas of architecture adapted to the gained freedom of not being bound to real life. Shelter, expression of ideas, form defined by use, all these criteria still exist and these are the challenges in any world.

At TDA, we make sure that the rules of the competition are transparent, the jury criteria are objective and the benefits offered to the winners are valuable. Our goal is to build a community that follows the challenges imposed by modern world and at the same time is able to meet global challenges.
For this reason, the 4th edition of the TDA competition is guided by three hashtags:
#life - Technological and urban developments and a changing climate continually present us with challenges that we want to face up to. Because life is a series of superimposed and interdependent processes, our goal is to design spaces for communities that meet these needs. The role of architects and designers is to change the world by creating everyday life - that's what #life is for us.
