๐ NON ARCHITECTURE
Non Architecture seeks to reinvent spatial design by questioning the base, the fundaments, and the conventions of an architectโs work.ย With its international editorial team and a design community of thousands of people, Non Architecture develops initiatives, mediums, and projects to explore innovative design solutions and experimental collaboration models.
Non Architecture is everything that is not architecture yet.
Also, Non Architecture is concrete. Today itโs a portal for design contests, a community for architects and non-architects, an open-source online journal, an independent publisher, and a remote design studio.
๐๏ธย NON ARCHITECTURE COMPETITIONS
The place for participation
The Non Architecture Competitions aim to explore unconventional and uncharted design solutions within architecture, urban planning, and design. From 2016 to 2019, Non Architecture organized a series of 10 competitions with the goal of redefining functional architectural typologies. In 2020, we entered a new phase structured around nine themes. Each theme approaches the significant challenges of today’s world from different angles.
During its 6 years in action, Non Architecture Competitions has run 21 competitions, engaged around 8000 participants in 183 countries, accumulated over 3000 design ideas, and released curated content in 19 books.
๐ฐ NON ARCHITECTURE JOURNAL
For reading and inspiration
The Non Architecture Journal has functioned as an open container for engaging non-architectural content.ย Within the journal context, we share materials from the Non Architecture community and tailored insights from our editorial team.

![[assemblage] by [Julian Fritz @jubuhubu]
Please welcome one of TEN #HonourableMention of the second edition of the NonArchitecture Award.2022 of the category [Urban & Landscape]! Launched to appreciate projects that were not designed to be built! #nonaward2022
[Description]
assemblage functions as a prototype for the future development of ruins in our cityscapes. Based on the model of the smooth and the striated space by French philosopher Gilles Deleuze and French psychoanalyst Fรฉlix Guattari it explores the emergence of a new symbiosis of brutalism as the striated space and nature as the smooth space. This prototype is situated in the southwest of Milano, Italy: The abandoned Istituto Marchiando Spagliardi which served as a boarding school.
For 30 years it has been decaying heavily and restoration is not in sight. The brutalist complex is the epitome of function and human logic โ this is described as the striated space. In the process of decay nature started to overgrow the structures and is beginning to claim the site โ the unpredictable character of nature is the smooth space.
