New Practices New York 2020 Awards
Register/Submit Deadline:  Friday, Jan 31, 2020

For the last seven editions of the New Practices New York competition, entrants have been asked to respond to a given prompt that frames their work within an overarching theme.  For this edition, we would like to turn the tables and ask firms to tell us what the measure of their work should be — what does it stand for? We are looking for new, innovative architecture practices who offer a point a view and are unafraid to carve their own creative voice.   As we begin a new decade, how do you choose to shape your practice, define your role and contextualize your work? Take a step back, pause, think.  What is your position?

Bushfires raging up the country’s eastern coast have led to deaths and many properties getting incinerated. Amidst this, one of Australia’s most iconic animals has taken center stage in headlines — the Koala. Entrants are invited to design a Koala habitat, a rescue and rehabilitation center that raises awareness regarding its ecological depletion and importance.
