We get it. It can get a little overwhelming keeping up with the dozens of new architecture competitions launching worldwide on any given week — let alone having to stay on top of the multiple deadlines for each and every one. That's why Bustler is here to help! At the end of every week, we'll share a quick selection of our newest design competition submissions that we think are worth a look, as well as some ongoing ones you might have missed the first time. Check out our latest competition recommendations below.

First Window - Alternatives to Traditional Airports
Registration Deadline: Monday, Feb 10, 2020
Submission Deadline: Wednesday, Feb 26, 2020
Airport design involves a lot of technical complexity and functional design that often takes precedence over local and cultural context. If airports are the first place we see as we enter a new city/country, how can it provide a true window to what the city offers? Propose a concept for the Airport Design of Koh Phangan island in Thailand. Participants need not give the technical details for it. This is primarily a concept-design challenge only.
