international design competition _FUTURE CITY: SMART DESIGN FOR POST-PANDEMIC WORLD

How should we shape our city for the unknown future? How can architecture, urban design, and planning respond to the resilience of the city during and after the pandemic outbreak?
These are the questions to answer within the international competition “Future city: Smart design for post-pandemic world”.  Participants are asked to look at the existing urban built environment and imagine how it should cope with future pandemics. Participants are free to transform existing areas or propose a new design on a site of their choice. Participants need to apply unique strategies and creative designs to tackle the disease crisis, taking technology development into account. This competition encourages participants to be bold and think outside the box.
