    Dotting the global landscape, decommissioned military installations are leaving their mark – symbols of triumph, pride, pain and the unforeseen consequences of military aggression. These abandoned structures and ghost towns disrupt neighborhoods and split entire communities.

    Architecture for Humanity is hosting the 2011 Open Architecture Challenge – [un]restricted access – a design competition that will re-envision the future of decommissioned military space. This is an open invite to the global design and construction community to identify retired military installations in their own backyard, to collaborate with local stakeholders, and to reclaim these spaces for social, economic, and environmental good.

    Entrants do not need to be licensed architects or landscape architects to participate. Designs may be submitted by an individual or by a team. There is no limit to the number of entries per person, or the number of teams with which an individual may participate.

    Students and faculty are invited to work together and submit entries as a team or individually. Student work is judged alongside that of professionals, and jury members will not be advised of the difference.

    Eligibility


    Everyone is welcome to participate regardless of professional status, job, sex, race, age or nationality.

    Prize


    More than $5000 in prizes to be announced. Three designs will place and one design will be awarded the prestigious Founders Award.
