The June/July/August 2026 edition of AZURE is dedicated to our 16th annual AZ Awards — and also features the best of Milan, the New Museum’s expansion, the latest in building envelope systems and more!

The AZ Awards issue packs much more than our winners and finalists — though they certainly take pride of place. (And you can read all about them on our dedicated AZ Awards site.)

Lighthouse Hotel: Architecture & Interior Design Competition

Lighthouse Hotel: Architecture & Interior Design Competition aims to imagine a new life for an evocative lighthouse in ruins. The competition requires the design of a boutique hotel within the abandoned lighthouse overlooking the crystalline sea of the Tremiti Islands.

What if tourists and visitors were offered the chance to “experience” it by staying inside the renovated structure for a few days? How would you successfully implement an accommodation offer of this type and integrate it coherently with the surrounding landscape?

The project will be mainly focused on the transformation of the interior spaces of the lighthouse, through concepts and strategies able to illustrate detailed and high quality design solutions. It will be asked to intervene also on the external areas pertaining to the hotel and particular attention will be required by the terrace overlooking the sea.

Eligibility:

The competition is open to students, architects, designers, urbanists, engineers, artists, makers, activists and anyone interested in the architectural design.
