LIT Lighting Design Awards 2019
5% off entry fees with the Regular Deadline: July 31st, 2019
Seeking remarkable lighting product designers and lighting implementers from all parts of the world. LIT believe that lighting is both an art and a science, and it is one of the most important elements of design. Submit before the regular deadline on July 31st, 2019.
“Light in Theory” (LIT) was derived from the theory of light on an abstract, more encompassing level. Without this electromagnetic spectrum of waves that brings color and illumination to the world, we would not have lighting products or implementation of those products. Thus, we draw attention to lighting, designers, and the theory of light that keeps our homes and communities lit.
Being self-taught is a trend, even in design. But designers still need the resources of an international organisation to promote their creations and extend their network. By submitting your work to the LIT, you get a chance to receive significant, international publicity and exposure, so send us your best designs today!

Woodside Pavilion for the 2019 Year of Culture
The International Finsa Award 2019 aims to encourage and challenge students and short term graduates to explore and redesign the use of wood and other ecological and recyclable materials in construction. We believe that the future in construction should continue developing this way and know it is possible to achieve.
Woodside Pavilion is a temporary structure designed to house practical art activities for the local community. Conceived as an informal, pop-up space, the purpose of the pavilion is to engage and offer dialogue and collaboration between groups of people who do not normally have the opportunity to meet with or collaborate with practical artists.
We want to add value to the competition by building the winner(s) project. Plus, the supervision and management of the construction by the designers with travel and expenses covered. This will kickstart their careers considering that the competition is only for students or recent graduates.

New Cultural Center for Norwegian Waterfront in Oslo Architecture Competition, Oslo, Norway
12 April 2019: Registration deadline
STaRT, a platform for recearch of architecture, has launched #OSLOCALL, a contest of ideas for to project a new Cultural Center on waterfront of norwegian capital. The competition will select projects that will propose innovative solution and an excellent capacity of integration to the site.
Oslo is a unique place in perfect balance between architecture and nature: green landscapes, first among all the Fjords, make this one of the greenest cities in Europe. Great explorers have started to conquer extreme peaks but there are also artistic personalities, Munch and Viegeland, that have characterized Norwegian history. History and tradition are mixed with instances of contemporary design: Astrup Feornley Museu, Operahuslet, Barcode district, are just some of the architectures that have given a new image to the urban waterfront.
In this area of interesting ferment we want to imagine the Oslo Cultural Center, a contemporary sign in a district that with the Forsvartmuseet and the Nasjonallmuseet of Arkitektur has become a small cultural citadel. Auditorium, exhibition halls and photographic archiveswill be part of a new building in which events and performances will allow the local community to share experiences of historical-cultural value. A place for culture that gives continuity to the already started territorial development program.

Living with Water – Waterfront Development in Hull, England
Submission deadline: 27 March 2019
RIBA launch Design Ideas Competition on behalf of Hull City Council:
Hull is a city built around water, which brings opportunities and challenges. Whilst
waterside living is seen as an attraction, the risk of flooding is something that needs
addressing through good design.
Humber Quays West and Hull Arena is one of the city’s most prestigious
redevelopment opportunities, and design ideas are being sought for this major
residential-led redevelopment to celebrate the waterfront city centre location. Water
resilient development is a key priority, therefore design ideas should embrace the
principles of ‘Living with Water’ and produce innovative designs to deal with flood
risk.
Last year, the RIBA published a report outlining what the government needs to do to
help create homes and communities that are resilient to flood damage. The report,
The value of flood-resilient architectural design, stresses that the UK can no longer
base its approach to managing flood risk on simply keeping the water out.
• Currently 1 in 6 homes in the UK are at risk of flooding – a number that is
expected to double by 2050
• Flooding causes an average of £1.4 billion of damage each year to businesses
and households
Councillor Daren Hale, portfolio holder economic investment and regeneration, Hull
City Council said:
“This is a fantastic opportunity for local, national and international design teams to
develop a brief that complements the extensive work and investment that has taken
place so far to make Hull a flood resilient city.
Preparation is critical for our city, and the team working across the Living with Water
partnership have brought together a wealth of expertise to the forefront of climate
change discussions that will not only help to shape our plans for future developments,
but also impact the city’s position in terms of a becoming a resilient economic driver
for the region.
In order to achieve this, investment in planning and architecture is key, and can make
all the difference.”
This is an international RIBA Competition, open to architect-led design teams. The
first phase of the competition seeks initial design proposals which will be assessed
anonymously. Up to five designs will then be selected to proceed to the second phase
of the competition. Anonymity will be lifted at the second phase and shortlisted
teams will be invited to develop their ideas in response to feedback.
For further details about the competition and how to enter please visit:
www.ribacompetitions.com/livingwithwater/
The closing date for submission of initial design proposals is 14.00hrs (GMT) on
Wednesday 27 March 2019.

Architecture Competition for St Michael le Belfrey Church, York, England, UK
RIBA international Competition for St Michael le Belfrey Church in York
St Michael le Belfrey Church and the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) invite architect-led multi-disciplinary teams from around the world to enter a competition for the re-ordering of St Michael le Belfrey church building in York.
The Grade 1 listed church is situated in the heart of York’s historic centre and lies in a conservation area immediately adjacent to York Minster.
The church requires essential works and an opportunity has been identified for the building to be refurbished and altered to create a space better suited to 21st Century worship and mission.

The purpose of the re-ordered building is to provide a significant and attractive resource facility for engaging and welcoming people into the family of God requiring a space which provides an open, welcoming, accessible and warm church environment, with a flexible interior arrangement which remains faithful to its heritage. The re-ordering will seek to embrace the use of current technology to its fullest, while at the same time preserving the most significant historical and architectural aspects of the building.
In the first instance, Expressions of Interest are invited in accordance with the requirements set out in the preliminary briefing paper.
The deadline for Expressions of Interest is 14:00 Tuesday 19 February 2019.
Reverend Matthew Porter, vicar at St Michael le Belfrey Church, said: ‘This project is all about making our historic church building better suited for worship and mission in the 21st Century; being better equipped so we, and future generations, can even more effectively worship God and reach out with the love of Christ, to York and beyond.’
Keith Williams, Keith Williams Architects, acting as RIBA Advisor, said: ‘This stunningly beautiful church in its spectacular location next to one of Europe’s greatest cathedrals, is an absolute gem. Dating from the early 16th century, St Michael le Belfrey exhibits many layers of
architectural intervention as patterns of worship and social structures have evolved over time. The great challenge set out in this competition is to create the new legacy, the 21st century architectural intervention which will facilitate evolving patterns of worship for now and for generations to come.’
Full details of the RIBA Competition can be found here:
http://ribacompetitions.com/belfrey/
A shortlist of up to five teams will be selected by an appointed panel to participate in the design phase of the Competition. The evaluation panel will be comprised of Members of the Parochial Church Council (PCC) at St Michael le Belfrey and Keith Williams acting as the RIBA Advisor. Each of the five shortlisted teams will receive an honorarium payment of £7,000 (+VAT).

We have an overall congregation of around 800 people, praising God in Christ through various styles, encouraging joyful worship and practical bible teaching. Our vision is to be serving God’s Transformation of the North. We’re part of the Diocese of York and the Church of England. Our main church building is St Michael le Belfrey church (next to York Minster). St Cuthberts’ church (on Peasholme Green) is the venue for our House of Prayer.

SqrFoot House Housing For One Competition
The growing issue of homeless people around the world is one that needs to be tackled on a war footing. As our cities grow, each of them are occupied by a diverse narrative of migrants who make the city their home. A third of all urban dwellers worldwide – 1.2 billion people – lack access to safe and secure housing.
The gap is worst in lower and middle income countries, where some cities are growing so quickly that governments cannot build out services and infrastructure fast enough to accommodate new arrivals. The result is millions living in inadequate conditions and fraying trust in governments.

Outros Territórios – International Call for Urban Intervention, Brasil
Vazio S/A, Coletivo Aurora and Eduardo de Jesus launch the open architecture competition Outros Territórios – International Call for Urban Intervention.
Outros Territórios (Other Territories) is a suite of ephemeral interventions proposed for a hilly neighborhood in Belo Horizonte, Brazil called Buritis. The architectural proposal imagines an instantaneous transformation of the landscape: this will be done via occupation of the numerous stilt systems propping up the hillside buildings.
The array of forgotten spaces, ignored for their unsightly strangeness, will be infused with city life through an event that posits an open field of study: the latent possibilities in the existing city.
The interventions will be chosen through a public, international open call for projects. Selected ideas will feature in an exhibition at the Viaduto das Artes (Arts Underpass)—Phase I.
Phase II will execute a number of the projects selected during Phase I and organize a free itinerary for visiting the executed works. The idea is to configure a circuit for debate on issues pertaining to the city, explore interfaces between architecture, the visual arts, public lighting and the cityscape, and problematize city management, environmental and architectonic liabilities, urban voids and the real-estate market.
Outros Territórios has the institutional support of Belotur (City Hall of Belo Horizonte) and the Institute of Architects of Brazil – Minas Gerais chapter.
