A Global Arena for Architecture Challenges: a platform for international competitions
Unlike outdated standard tender procedures limited to a local reach, TerraViva competitions are fully run through our digital Platform, allowing partners to share their architecture challenges with the best international designers.
Open to architects, planners and creatives from all over the world, our initiatives are able to adapt to different contexts: from architecture to urban planning, from landscape design to adaptive reuse…
Born under the guidance of the Californian architecture critic Richard Ingersoll, TerraViva started its journey as a didactic department at Politecnico di Milano, evolving in 2022 into a startup currently accelerated by B4i – Bocconi for Innovation.
Description
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.
Tactical Urbanism NOW! does not only encourage designers of radical minds, but also those who can unleash their creativity in the most effective way. This competition, collecting projects from the most ordinary to the most unusual sites, is a proof that urban acupuncture is deemed fitting in any possible context.
In line with the United Nations SDG n° 11 “Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable”, this initiative pictures new creative and innovative proposals ready to make a worldwide impact!
