The competition is framed around dialogue among contemporary art, architecture and industrial heritage.

Applications close August 30, 2026. Three finalists will each receive USD 1,000 to develop detailed technical proposals, which will be exhibited during Casa FOA 2026. The selected artist or team will receive a USD 7,000 acquisition prize.

Design highlights
