The competition invites participants to design a series of small-scale lodging units and communal spaces, expanding the site\u2019s capacity to host up to 20 guests without compromising its rural soul. Designers are encouraged to develop a project that merges architecture, landscape, and cultural identity: an intervention that enhances the quiet presence of the original structures while providing new experiences for contemporary travellers seeking disconnection and immersive tradition.<\/p>\n The Architect\u2019s Stair Edition #2 by Buildner<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Organization: <\/strong>Buildner Submission deadline: <\/strong>July 24, 2025<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n From ancient stone steps carved into cliffs to futuristic floating staircases in contemporary design, the stair has served far more than a functional role. This competition<\/a> <\/strong>invites architects, designers, and creative thinkers to explore the stair as a pure expression of architectural language. Participants are asked to reflect on its symbolism, geometry, movement, and potential\u2014free from constraints of program, material, or scale. There are no limitations on style, function, context, or dimension. Whether monumental or minimal, abstract or inhabitable, real or speculative\u2014what matters is the clarity and creativity of the concept.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Dewan Award for Architecture by Dewan Architects + Engineers and Tamayouz Excellence Award<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Organization: <\/strong>Dewan Architects + Engineers, in association with the Tamayouz Excellence Award Submission deadline: September 30, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Dewan Architects + Engineers, in association with the Tamayouz Excellence Award, announces the launch of the Dewan Award for Architecture 2025<\/a><\/strong>. The award invites architects, students, designers, and studios from around the world to participate. Participants are asked to reimagine Baghdad Central Railway Station, a historic landmark in the heart of Iraq\u2019s capital. Once a vital transport hub, the station now features limited services, outdated infrastructure, and minimal public engagement. The structure remains sound and presents an opportunity for architectural renewal.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The Digital Heritage Museum by Design Unlimited<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Organization:<\/strong> Design Unlimited Submission deadline: <\/strong>September 14, 2025<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The Digital Heritage Museum<\/a><\/strong> proposes a bold architectural response: a new kind of cultural institution that uses emerging technologies to digitally preserve, reconstruct, and reinterpret Egypt\u2019s vast and diverse cultural legacy. This competition invites architects, designers, and students to envision a site-specific, technologically-forward, and culturally-sensitive museum that bridges the past with the future, positioning Cairo as a global leader in the preservation of digital heritage.<\/p>\n The London Design Awards by International Awards Associate (IAA)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Organization:<\/strong> International Awards Associate (IAA) Submission deadline: <\/strong>December 5, 2025\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The 2025 London Design Awards<\/a><\/strong> is an international competition celebrating creative excellence across a wide spectrum of disciplines, from product and architectural design to UX, packaging, and newly introduced fashion design.
