Non Architecture Competitions aims to find unconventional and unexplored design solutions in the field of architecture. From 2016 to 2019, Non Architecture organized a series of 10 competitions pointed at reinventing functional architectural typologies. In 2020, we entered a new phase structured around nine themes. Non Architecture Competitions built a Research Ecosystem with the purpose of exploring each theme from different perspectives and multiple competitions. They will all have their focus on tackling the big issues of tomorrow, by seeking nontraditional approaches in the architect’s work.
Description
What does it mean to design for the absolute opposite?
Antipodes Island, located in the remote subantarctic waters southeast of New Zealand, is one of the most isolated places on Earth. It is the literal antipode of London and metaphorically the antipode of the urban condition.
This brief invites you to imagine a retreat for solitude, reflection, and connection with untouched nature. Far from civilization, this is a place where architecture must be light, minimal, and reverent. Your task is to conceive a retreat that reflects on isolation - not as absence, but as presence.
