ArchDaily’s 2021 New Practices Open Call Closes Sunday, November 7

Architecture Competition: ArchDaily’s 2021 New Practices Open Call Closes Sunday, November 7

From social, racial, economic inequity to virtual, immersive environments, the COVID-19 pandemic is reshaping trends and pushing societies to discuss how we will live together in the future.

In this context, architecture has been navigating through sequential changes over the last decades with the rise and latter consolidation of new technologies, tools, formats, topics, scales, and interdisciplinary approaches, along with the emergence of the Internet that led towards a disruptive decentralization of the architecture production and discussion. Architects and designers from all over the world are embracing these challenges by pondering their roles and exploring their own practical approaches.

For the second consecutive year, ArchDaily wants to highlight emerging, new practices, offices, collectives, practitioners, professionals, and startups that are providing innovative approaches, proposals, startup ideas, and solutions to these discussions. Tell us how your practice approaches the challenges we’re facing, share your portfolio with us, and describe your contribution to the future of architecture and cities.
