Market Street Reimagined is an international call for ideas that identify new urban possibilities for downtown San Francisco’s Market Street, responding to the disruptions caused by the pandemic, remote work, and other cultural changes. This is a time to think differently, to escape the traps embedded in techniques and assumptions of the past, and venture into the speculative possibilities of an urbanism not yet discovered. Using San Francisco’s Market Street as a subject, we ask competitors “How might a new set of ideas be developed to address the challenges in post-pandemic city cores enabling them to flourish in ways that are economically viable and experientially uplifting?” Co-Sponsored by the Urban Land Institute San Francisco (ULI SF) and the Civic Joy Fund, the competition is open to all who have vision toward the future and has a $100,000 prize fund.
Ideas of all scales and topics are welcomed, including physical, spatial, operational, use, economic, policy, and any other strategies that can produce positive outcomes. The goal is to generate exciting, transformative visions for Market Street that would make the City proud and attract visitors and businesses from around the globe.
The jury is hosted by San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie and is comprised of multi-disciplinary experts from the fields of planning, economics, real estate, architecture, landscape urbanism, philanthropy, academia, civic leadership, and the arts.

The Fay Jones School of Architecture and Design at the University of Arkansas, in partnership with DesignConnects and Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, invites architects, designers, artists and creatives from across the United States and its territories to submit exhibit design proposals for PORCH: An Architecture of Generosity, the U.S. Pavilion exhibition at the 19th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia.
PORCH focuses on the representation of the U.S. through the contemporary manifestation of the porch in American architecture – a quintessential constructed place that is at once social and environmental, tectonic and performative, hospitable and intimate, generous and democratic. The U.S. Pavilion’s theme highlights an enduring American architectural typology that persists across scales, geographies, communities, construction methods and histories. PORCH also complements the Biennale Architettura 2025’s theme, Intelligens: Natural. Artificial. Collective., spotlighting architecture’s role in addressing climate change and fostering forward-looking solutions for adaptation and renewal.
Architects, landscape architects, designers, artists, design firms, nonprofits, public agencies and individuals from across the U.S. and its territories are invited to respond to the Open Call. The U.S. Pavilion’s interior exhibition will feature at least 50 participant displays, encouraging proposals from citizens, states and territories nationwide, as well as from design practices of any size or discipline. Eligible entries must have been built or completed after 2000. A separate call for participation, launching in mid-January 2025, will permit unbuilt and speculative projects from students and schools of architecture and design.
The Open Call for Participation will be conducted in two phases, accepting initial submissions through a dedicated portal (porchusavenice2025.org/open-call) from December 3, 2024, to January 17, 2025. Projects will be evaluated by the PORCH design team leads, working with prominent figures from architectural and design arenas. The announcement of at least 50 exhibitors will be made on February 3, 2025, and selected participants will receive a modest stipend to support the further development of their proposals into a designated format for exhibition.
PORCH: An Architecture of Generosity will debut publicly on May 10, 2025, at the opening of the 19th International Architecture Exhibition.

Calling creative minds and innovative urban and architectural design students (bachelor and master) around the world, the committee of the 4th International Design Competition is looking for smart and sustainable solutions to reimagine Nha Trang’s urban landscape!
Along the river bank of the Cai Rivers, a heritage route will soon be built. This vision comes with a challenge on balancing the growth of economics and the conservation of cultural beauty. Taking up this challenge, the fourth year of the International Design Competition is now more than a design challenge; it is a global platform where we inspire the next generation to envision future cities that harmoniously blend innovation and tradition.
As part of the competition, participants will have the opportunity to engage with leading experts, exchange cutting-edge ideas, and contribute meaningful solutions that foster sustainable urban development.
Are you ready to be a changemaker in shaping the future of our cities?
All students from across architectural and built environment education (or beyond!) are welcome to participate! The competition looks to develop collective, creative, buildable responses that envision a temporary, mobile structure that can be built and transported by students. The headquarters should encourage and facilitate protest, gathering, knowledge sharing, empowerment and inclusivity, supporting users of all abilities to facilitate climate action and increase climate literacy in an interactive way!
Sign ups are now open, and you can sign up individually or in teams of up to four. Check out this link to register and find out more!
