The 2022 edition of Architecture-in-Development’s (A–D) annual Global Challenge (#GC2022) is welcoming submissions from self-build communities worldwide starting in October and closes at the end of November.
Running from October to June each year, the Global Challenge identifies and showcases the most inclusive and sustainable architectural projects worldwide, and helps accelerate their development. It does this by connecting self-build communities with A–D’s global network of 60,000+ (largely female) architects and building professionals, and its blue-chip partners and sponsors.
Submissions are welcomed from early-phase architectural projects with the radical potential to improve the lives of rural and urban communities. As the submission guidelines indicate, eligible submissions include, but are not limited to collective spaces for community learning and living; working spaces such as schools and libraries; meeting places; community centers, and more.
All eligible submissions will benefit from:
- Exposure: Visibility and credibility among project supporters and new potential partners.
- Network & partnerships: Access to our global network of ambassadors and representatives who may offer their support.
- Funding: The opportunity to reach out to our network of ambassadors and representatives who may help fundraise.
Bonus prize:
There is also a €10,000 (minimum) award prize for two projects. Our partners will select a project to give €5,000 prize/ each.
During the accelerator, our sponsors (to be announced) will each select a project to give €2,500 prize/ each.
