Applications call for Home Competition 2020

The HOME competition invites all designers to explore ideas of domestic architecture for the future. Designers may consider the impacts of global population shifts, the proximity of major cities to coastlines, new materials, and building techniques, as well as the rise of co-housing, tiny homes, smart houses and marketplaces like Airbnb. HOME creates a platform to speculate the ways new technological, political, environmental, and cultural changes can redefine the spaces where we live.
