Non Architecture Award aims to celebrate the excellence in unbuilt projects across a range of different categories. These awards elevate the potential for positive impact that an exploratory approach in architecture has on the future of the profession.
Eligibility
Non Architecture Award is open to any project type, including theoretical, speculative and unbuilt projects as long as they were not designed with the primary goal of being built.
Anyone is eligible to submit. The award is open to all individuals, from every age and cultural background. The submission fee is paid per project and per category, regardless of how many people participated in the design.
Categories
Urban & Landscape
This category is focused on the city as an ensemble. Projects can include not only gardens and parks, but any urban or master plan dedicated to the long-term connections between buildings, nature, infrastructure, social and economic conditions, environments, and future development. Submit projects that contribute to urban development and change.
Architecture & Interiors
This category includes all traditional building types, focusing on the design of a single envelope (room, building, pavilion and similar) as well as the interior layout. Projects can include residential, commercial, cultural, hospitality, institutional, sports & recreation, transportation or temporary structures.
Aspatial & Ritual
This category is dedicated to projects defined by the lack of spatial dimensions – utopian, digital and wide concepts. Projects can include abstract and conceptual ideas with no physical representation such as utopian projects, projects for digital platforms, tools or devices, processoriented projects, participatory process or even gaming and digital simulations.
Winners
Non Architecture will award 1 winner and 9 honourable mentions for each category, selected by the jurors collectively.
