Non Architecture’s Infinite Labyrinth design Contest

Non Architecture is inviting your to take part in Infinite Labyrinth design competition.  As in 2020 we started the second phase of competitions to address the issues of tomorrow. In line with our style we propose 9+2 themes – eleven critical topics to work on. Rather than a program, a research ecosystem composed of various competitions running in parallel and exploring the same theme from different perspectives. Our exploration journey will continue with theme five: VIRTUAL.

Participants are asked to design a labyrinth in floorplan – with a specific size and entrance points. All the remaining aspects of the maze are completely open to interpretation. Once combined and published on our Instagram feed, all the floorplans submitted will compose an endless sequence of labyrinthic rooms, infinite, just like the social media scrolling experience.

WHY PARTICIPATE:

1. Gain experience and recognition, request a participation certificate, and post it on your Linkedin or CV!

3. Give space to your creativity by solving a given challenge, it is satisfying!

About Non Architecture:

We imagined a counterpart, a “Non architecture”. A world of unexplored designs and countless possibilities, that if found, could enlarge and change permanently the boundaries of Architecture. A universe of chances and opportunities never challenged by architects before.
