The International Union of Architects, through its Natural and Human Disasters Work Programme, invites young architects to imagine new forms of architectural intervention in the aftermath of disaster, focusing on the 2023 earthquake in Morocco. The competition aims to raise awareness of the complex interconnection between natural and human-made crises and calls for visionary proposals that can heal, protect, and regenerate.

Due to the technical issues encountered, the deadline has been extended to Monday, 10 November, at 23:59 (Paris time).
Re-submissions are allowed for those who have already submitted their entries.
The focus of this international student competition, Catalysts of Resilience, is to design spatial interventions that enable resistance and adaptation to predictable threats related to political shifts, social transformations, and climate change. The competition calls for design proposals that foster this capacity for resilience using time as a design tool.

This initiative offers young architects an opportunity to contribute to one of the most prestigious cultural initiatives – the Biennale di Venezia. Through their participation, the next generation can demonstrate their vision for enhancing the experience of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
