The Young Visionary Architecture Competition (YVAC) 2023 is an international competition inspired by the architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Wright, the “Father of Architecture,” left a major impact on the world of design and construction. Despite his remarkable achievements in designing over 1100 structures, it is equally essential to explore Wright’s collection of 660 unbuilt projects.
These projects serve as a testament to his visionary imagination and his pursuit in pushing the boundaries of architectural possibilities. The competition seeks to honour the visionary spirit of Frank Lloyd Wright by inviting young architects and designers from around the world to dive into the realm of unbuilt projects fostering creativity, pushing architectural boundaries, and envisioning tomorrow’s built world.
