The Timber Futures Ideas Competition challenges participants to envision a bold, forward-thinking architectural proposal in which at least 50 per cent of the building’s structural system is made from timber. There is no fixed site; entrants may choose an existing location or invent one that best supports their concept. This competition is an invitation to extend the language of timber architecture into new territory. Think beyond conventional typologies and aesthetics and consider how your project can embrace climate resilience, foster circular economies or reconnect people with place, heritage and material honesty. Designs should express wood’s potential as a catalyst for meaningful and sustainable transformation.
