The Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC) calls its 9th Advanced Architecture Contest as a global reflection to rethink human settlements at a time when our natural environments and the human habitats are more clearly intertwined.

The contest encourages participants to propose a design at any scale, anywhere in the world, that reflects different cultural, environmental, economic, or social conditions.

The jury for the competition will be made up of relevant experts from all over the world.

Each winner will receive a monetary award along with a full scholarship to pursue a Master at IAAC during the academic year 2022-23.

Winners will also be invited to present their project in Barcelona in October 2022 during the celebration of Barcelona as a European Forest City, organized by the European Forest Institute in collaboration with several institutions and organizations from Barcelona. The competition entries should be submitted digitally in PDF format.
