International Architecture and Urbanism Schools Competition
Architecture and Urbanism Schools Competition of the 14th BIAsp aims to recognize student works that relate to the event's theme. Proposals are expected to address solutions and actions that redefine how human activities have approached and transformed the urban, rural, or natural environment.
The competition's object is a freely chosen project with a location and theme aligned with the 14th BIAsp theme. Architecture and urbanism programs may select their projects and submit one work to represent them in the International Architecture and Urbanism Schools Competition.
Proposals are expected to present diverse contexts and scales, valuing regional, social, economic, and cultural differences, within the understanding that architectural design should contribute to the sustainability of life on the planet, through more effective and viable solutions, and by engaging the population and their governments.
For any questions, send an email to faleconosco@bienaldearquitetura.org.br.
