Jacques Rougerie Foundation has opened registration for their 14th International Architecture and Innovation Competition — now open for entries for 2024.

The competition is open to students, professionals, researchers, creators, artists, etc. A candidate can only participate once by submitting a single project.

A total of 40,000 Euro will be awarded as six distinctive prizes, across three main competition categories.

In this 14th edition of the Prix de la Fondation, let’s push back the frontiers of audacity. Dare to dream, because today more than ever, your ideas can shape a better world.

Take your inspiration from nature, that inexhaustible source of innovation. Biomimicry, fruit of 3.8 billion years of evolution, opens up unsuspected horizons. As Leonardo da Vinci said, “Take your lessons from nature: that’s where our future lies”.

Your projects need to be bold, forward-looking and enthusiastic! Based on biomimicry, they must be rooted in the preservation of our ecosystems and their biodiversity. Designed in a multidisciplinary way, they demonstrate that inspiration, when combined with form, function and environment, can reach unsuspected heights.

Let’s provide answers to the challenges of our century through the development of current and future technological, architectural, bio-inspired and artistic projects, in line with the major climatic and environmental issues relating in particular to coastlines and rising sea levels, as well as projects linked to the marine and space worlds.

Open up new horizons, encouraging us to change paradigms and reconcile Humanity and Nature.

Participants are invited to imagine the habitats of the future and seeks for innovative projects in:

• Architecture for the Sea
• Architecture for Space
• Architecture related to Climate & Rising Water
  

The Jacques Rougerie Foundation aims to give a new generation of architects, designers and engineers an opportunity to flourish.
