Future School for Ukraine: Open Architectural Design Competition
Registration Deadline: Thursday, May 23, 2024
Submission Deadline: Friday, May 31, 2024 (extended)
"The 'Future School for Ukraine' project aims to support Ukrainian people facing the daunting task of rebuilding schools and reviving the education sector, heavily impacted by war. It will provide a ready-to-implement and free-to-use adaptive technical design for building new schools across the country. The availability of such a solution will save time and financial resources and will facilitate fundraising for the recovery of Ukraine’s school system."

British Museum Western Range Competition
Registration/Submission Deadline: Friday, June 21, 2024
"The British Museum is delighted to launch this international competition to choose a visionary, architect-led design team to work with the Museum to develop an extraordinary design for a significant part of its Bloomsbury site: The Western Range. This is an important commission to re-envisage and transform key parts of the main, iconic site in Bloomsbury. This will be the Museum’s biggest building project since the 1820s, when work commenced on the original quadrangle. The ambition is significant: to restore the Western Range and, in so doing, reimagine a third of the existing gallery area, deliver improved collections storage and create new amenities to enhance the visitor experience, making the collection as accessible as possible to all the Museum’s audiences."
