Next Generation Architecture
Win 750,000 DKK to detail your housing concept and prototype it in the shape of a pavilion, placed center stage at the UIA 2023 Congress in Copenhagen.
We invite the next generation of architects, designers, and engineers to develop and explore visionary housing concepts that combine affordability and carbon footprints our planet can sustain.
Current building and living practices represent approaches developed on the premise of ample resources. Gradual improvements of this fossil-based trajectory are unlikely to bring the planet within its safe operation space in due time.
In Next Generation Architecture we ask you to reimagine the ideas and ideals as well as the technologies and practices on which house construction is based – how to combine the whole and its parts, the desirable and the possible, in new meaningful ways?
