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
The topic is broad and so are the possibilities.
This competition asks students to uncover, reclaim, and transform the “nooks and crannies” of our environments – tiny leftover spaces, neglected corners, and undefined gaps in the urban fabric.
Look for spaces hiding in plain sight. Challenge conventions. Map relationships. Solve for reality, not utopia.
This is not an abstract exercise. It’s a call for grounded, design-oriented solutions that embrace everyday life, social dynamics, and poetic possibility.Participants are free to pick a site of your choice or re-use an old project. It’s your chance to get creative!
