Europan is a call for projects of ideas at the urban, landscape and architectural scale, followed by implementations.

 

A series of sites (urban or peri-urban) in European cities, accompanied with a brief and a complete file, is proposed to competitors. They choose from these sites the one(s) on which they want to submit their projects – if there is more than one site, those have to be located in different countries (or different jury in case of a common jury for an associated country).

 

In each country a specific jury of experts preselects the most innovating projects per site. The Europan Scientific Committee then compares and analyses these projects on a European level, fuelling the debate between the sites’ representatives and the jury members during the Cities and Juries Forum. The juries then meet a second time, country by country, to make the final decision of the winning teams.

 

The fragility of the Earth‘s ecosystem and social crises lead to the imagination of alternative practices to harmful extraction of resources, overconsumption and pollution of living milieus. Regenerating projects embracing nature and culture are to be though and implemented. It is about weaving synergies between biogeophysical data with socio-spatial justice and health ones. Three main directions for designing forms of resilience and resourcing of inhabited milieus make possible to reactivate other forms of dynamics and narratives around the ecologies of living and caring.

 

1 - Re-sourcing through natural elements / risks

2 - Re-sourcing through ways of life and inclusivity

3 - Re-sourcing through materiality

 

Europan is open to young professionals of the architectural, landscape and urban design under 40 years of age and with a European degree or working in Europe, but also to students in the same disciplines, having a bachelor. Each team must include at least one graduated architect except on sites where it is notified.
