EVENT | The 14th Asian Contest of Architectural Rookie's Award

2025-06-04

The 2025 14th ACARA, proudly sponsored and presented by BaF Foundation, is now officially open for entries!

TOPIC:Architecture Resilient to Change

Modern society faces unpredictable changes such as climate change, demographic shifts, technological innovation, and increasing social diversity. Architecture must also respond flexibly to these changes and create sustainable spaces. In other words, ‘Architecture resilient to change’ refers to buildings that can adapt over time — to shifts in usage, technology, environment, or society. It goes beyond just being physically durable; it’s about being flexible, adaptive, and future-ready.
This year’s ACARA will explore this possibility through a variety of design projects being undertaken at various universities in Asia under the common topic of “Architecture Resilient to Change.
We look forward to proposals that draw out the creativity and flexible thinking of students, such as spatial configurations and design methods that adapt to changes in use and the environment, and ways in which architecture can coexist in harmony with local communities.

Let us envision together the future of architecture that anticipates change, embraces it, and evolves accordingly.
