This international one-stage architecture ideas competition invites all architecture and landscape architecture students, young architects and landscape architects, young professionals with a degree in architecture studies or landscape architecture studies (≤ 40 years old) to develop and submit compelling ideas for the design of a ‘Site Shelter’ located at the ‘Nossa Senhora da Luz’ Fortress, in Peniche, Portugal.

The Site Shelter is an embodied experience of air, light, sound and temperature through movement and places of rest; meandering through exterior and interior shelter, between contrasts of shade, shadow and light. An open-air permeable museum for visitors to engage with the history, the land and the ocean. It is a sheltered place for the existing ruins and visitors alike, offering a unique experience within this remarkable landscape; a contemplative passage through place, time and memory.

On behalf of ARKxSITE, we welcome your valuable support in assisting us to promote the current and future competitions!

Thank you.
