New architecture and design competitions: Norman Foster Travelling Scholarship, CBDX: BORDERLANDS, Prix de Genève, and THE LIVING MUSEUM Competition

2021 Norman Foster Travelling Scholarship
Register/Submit Deadline: Friday, May 28, 2021

"The RIBA Norman Foster Travelling Scholarship offers £7,000 to a student of architecture who demonstrates the potential for outstanding achievement and original thinking on issues that relate to the sustainable survival of cities and towns. In 2021, in response to the global restrictions on travel put in place to contain the spread of the COVID-19 virus, applications will be accepted for national research proposals as well as international research proposals. Therefore, students may submit a proposal for research on a topic in their home country or at (an) international location(s)."

CBDX: BORDERLANDS
Register/Submit Deadline: Monday, Jun 21, 2021

"This international design ideas competition—the second in the CBDX Series—asks, How can designers intervene in borders? What logics of territory are necessary to mediate between areas on either side of a divide? Is it about 'or'? Perhaps 'and'? Perhaps neither? Perhaps both? And as advancements in technology further shorten distances and render immaterial previous restrictions across space, What even is the future of borders? How do we design borderlands? Thus, this competition asks entrants to consider the opportunities, challenges, and complexities latent within borders and propose new paradigms of operation and entropy."

Prix de Genève
Register/Submit Deadline: Friday, Jul 30, 2021

"In 2019, the Prix de Genève for architectural experimentation is being organised in order to support innovative achievements and concepts in the fields of architecture, construction, urban planning and landscaping. Thanks to a donation from Daniel Grataloup, the Prix de Genève will stimulate experimentation and innovation for the architecture of tomorrow. It will reward the boldness and creativity of completed projects, projects in progress and unfinished projects, in Switzerland and around the world. The aim of this new award is to distinguish achievements, current projects and research work that go beyond the classical framework of architecture."

THE LIVING MUSEUM Competition
Register/Submit Deadline: Sunday, Aug 1, 2021

"TerraViva Competitions launches THE LIVING MUSEUM, a new architecture competition focused on the design of micro-accommodation units immersed in the Sardinian landscape of the Nivola Museum. Prizes up to 7.000 € will be awarded to the winners selected by an international jury panel composed by, among others, Stefano Boeri (Stefano Boeri Architetti), Arthur Chang (NADAAA), Nicolás Campodonico (Nicolás Campodonico), Luis Gallego Pachón (Paredes Pedrosa Arquitectos)"
