FuturArc Prize 2023: Cross-Generational Architecture

Asia's leading Green design competition invites you to submit your best ideas—open to professionals and students!  

FuturArc Prize (FAP) 2023 | Cross-Generational Architecture asks: How can we design architecture that responds to societal issues for tomorrow’s generations amidst ongoing climate and planet challenges? 

The way our built environments are designed should keep pace or even foresee changes in societal compositions. Whether countries are facing decreasing birth rates and mortality rates, can we still afford to design in ‘silos’?  

THE TASK

- Pick a site in Asia up to 5 hectares. 
- Analyse the population census of your selected site at the macro and local levels.
- Investigate issues faced by the age groups in the area, supported by real-world data.
- Decide on a new mixed-use architectural intervention that could respond to the challenges identified (no single-function schools; community centres; libraries; parks; resorts; or hotels).
