Prizes: All applications

ReLife: A modular, robotic-fabricated column designed to restore biodiversity. Merging computational design with robotic precision, it provides vital micro-habitats for local species. Beyond a structure, it is a living ecosystem deployable in any environment, turning static infrastructure into beautiful, functional architecture. ReLife bridges the gap between technology and the non-human world, creating a sustainable future where all forms of life can thrive together.

Archè is a modular home system that makes the indoor water cycle visible and circular. It allows households to collect rainwater, filter it, and reuse it for domestic purposes, then return it to the environment through irrigation and evapotranspiration. Stainless steel modules and glass elements combine elegant, functional design with sustainable water management, making the system a practical, educational, and cultural tool that promotes awareness and responsibility in using natural resources.

G.O.A.T. Greatest Outdoor Adventure Toolkit reimagines outdoor space as a place for collective discovery, where young people build, explore and reconnect with nature and each other. The project introduces a modular system that enables users to create shared spaces in natural environments, encouraging collaboration, creativity and active engagement. By promoting access over ownership, G.O.A.T. supports circular use and fosters meaningful outdoor experiences.

MUTUS transforms discarded denim into circular acoustic panels for architecture and interior spaces. By connecting textile recycling with the construction sector, the project gives new life to difficult-to-recycle materials while improving acoustic comfort in workplaces, schools and public buildings. MUTUS shows how circular design can turn waste into valuable architectural resources.

SkillNest School is an inclusive learning infrastructure that helps schools, teachers, students and families make school progress more readable, adaptable and actionable. Built from real classroom routines, it combines teacher-validated support, accessible learning paths and a simple family view to prevent disengagement, support vulnerable learners and create evidence for better educational decisions.

INHARMONIA empowers neurodiverse participants to co-create inclusive dance, storytelling, and community workshops, transforming public spaces into vibrant, creative, and sustainable hubs.

An image emerges of industrial waste landscapes shaped by human action. As nature reclaims artificial terrains, how might community life - and our response to global waste - transform? In Kėdainiai, a phosphogypsum landfill marks waste as our era’s condition. It is a social order and a hidden extraction - reimagined here as a site for repair. What is nature was not a recourse but the architect, instead of people?

The research investigates the evolving role of designers in developing more sustainable production systems. Addressing issues such as climate change and water eutrophication, it explores invasive algae as an underused biomass. Through experimentation, an algae-based biocomposite was developed and analyzed in production, properties, and applications. The project highlights how design can transform waste into a resource, supporting circular economy and environmentally responsible practices.

WaveHalt is a modular artificial reef system designed to protect coastlines from erosion while restoring marine ecosystems. It reduces wave energy before it reaches the shore, stabilizing sediments and preventing beach loss, while creating habitats for native species. WaveHalt integrates storm-focused engineering research with parametric design to adapt its geometry and scale to site-specific conditions. Its uniqueness lies in redefining coastal protection as ecological infrastructure.

When hearing the expression back to our roots people always think of their home town. In this case I am using it to refer to the actual roots of the plants that nourish us ,rare sights in metropolitan cities. Going a step further to the root small settlements with greenery and clean air. This project aims to bring a glimpse of that natural, nourishing environment into the heart of the city.
