Call for Submissions: Figures of Architecture
Architecture is often understood through finished buildings. “Figures of Architecture” asks students to look closer at the things that make architecture possible: the materials, assemblies, and methods that are often concealed, overlooked, or misunderstood once a building is complete.
The competition challenges students to bring these typically unseen “Figures of Architecture” into focus and reconsider their role through the lens of climate resilience and adaptation.
Propose a design-build, or make one still image. Both streams are judged and awarded separately; three Built finalists then build their proposals. All winning projects will be exhibited at DesignTO Festival 2027.
