Future Architecture: Call for Ideas 2019

Present your new work at the most significant architectural happenings and events that form the core of the European Architecture Program 2019.

Future Architecture is more than a competition. Future Architecture is changing the very foundation of architecture in Europe and beyond. Exploring boundaries. Breaking down the walls. Building new systems. Forming new coalitions. Providing talented conceptual thinkers and practitioners with opportunities to speak up—and be seen and heard.

Let the Future Architecture platform help you boost and sharpen your practice. Start exchanging your ideas and projects with high profile institutions—museums, galleries, publishing houses, biennials, and festivals—to find avenues toward real international recognition.

We are inviting multi-disciplinary emerging professionals from all over the world to apply with transformative projects related to our living environments. Send us your completed projects, theoretical or conceptual propositions for spatial, social or cultural innovations and join our discussion about the future of architecture.

We welcome projects that address:
–systemic changes
–practical problems
–new areas of operation beyond existing frameworks

Become part of the European Architecture Program 2019 and see how Future Architecture can help you develop your practice. Selected applicants will be invited to participate in one or more of the activities that include 5 exhibitions, 4 conferences, 3 lecture series, 3 workshops, 2 summer schools, 1 publication and more.

Future Architecture’s board of members will invite selected applicants to present their projects at the Creative Exchange taking place from February 13 to 16, 2019 in Ljubljana and to enter into possible activities within the European Architecture program. The platform will cover the travel (from within the EU) and accommodation costs of the selected participants. Platform members will cover travel (from within the EU) and accommodation costs and provide an honorarium to the participants that they invite to contribute to their events.

All applications will be published on the website of the Future Architecture platform. The applications will be judged by the Future Architecture board of members, the Future Architecture alumni, and members of the public by way of online voting, which opens on January 7, 2019.
