ARCASIA Students’ Design Competition 2025 (SDC 2025)
Date: 14 March 2025

ARCASIA Students’ Design Competition 2025 (SDC 2025)

 

The ARCASIA SDC 2025 is organized by ARCASIA and culminates in an awards ceremony held during The 21st ASIAN CONGRESS OF ARCHITECTS in Incheon, Korea this September 2025 where the winners will be announced.

 

Objective

This year’s Competition with the theme “Plug-in Architecture for a Better Tomorrow”. Our world is experiencing an unprecedented upheaval. Climate change casts a long shadow, unleashing natural disasters and exacerbating existing inequalities. However, advancement of Artificial Intelligence and other technologies is also bringing opportunities. This competition challenges students to develop “plug-in” architectural ideas that seamlessly integrate with existing buildings, structures, or social contexts. Successful designs will enhance overall synergy and improve the lives of users while demonstrating harmonious integration with the existing urban fabric. This competition invites students to submit innovative architectural ideas and experiments, regardless of scale (from small-scale interventions like bike-sharing shelters to large-scale urban projects). Submissions should clearly articulate design concepts that foster inclusive, sustainable, and resilient communities. Please refer to details as attached.
