International Architecture Competition - Jacques Rougerie Foundation
Register/Submit Deadline: Wednesday, Sep 14, 2022

"Every year, the International Prizes of the Jacques Rougerie Foundation - Institut de France reward bold and visionary architects, designers, artists, engineers and urban planners from all over the world who imagine the habitats of the future related to the Ocean or to Space. In 2022, the 12th edition of the Jacques Rougerie Foundation offers you to get involved in your boldest, most forward-looking projects. They must be in phase with the challenges of our backups. First based on biomimicry, an infinite source of inspiration, they will be thought out and designed in a transversal vision of knowledge. Enthusiastic more than normalized, they will demonstrate that inspiration when it intersects form, function and environment, can lead the project where it is not expected."
