Young Architect Award 2019 - Call for Participation

The purpose of the competition exhibition is to support the work of young emerging architects up to 33 years old, to help young creators find a place in the current architectural scene, to engage them in the creation of a quality environment for living, to bring architecture closer to the general public, and to encourage public discussion about architecture.

Theme:
Rental housing

Preamble:
In a time when we are able to build a family house in one summer and then control it via mobile from the other side of the globe, so-called affordable housing is becoming increasingly inaccessible for a significant part of society. Can we as architects offer solutions that make decision-making easier for politicians? Can a greater supply of rental housing help the situation? Can rental housing truly be affordable?
