Offener internationaler Architekturwettbewerb
Wettbewerbsaufgabe
Der Syrienkonflikt, der nun schon dreizehn Jahre andauert, hat zu einer der größten Vertreibungen der jüngeren Geschichte geführt. Mehr als 12,5 Millionen Menschen wurden aus ihren Häusern vertrieben, und die große Mehrheit von ihnen braucht dringend eine Unterkunft, Sicherheit und ein Gefühl der Zugehörigkeit. Das soziokulturelle Gefüge Syriens wurde tiefgreifend erschüttert, Gebäude und Infrastruktur wurden schwer beschädigt. Diese Krise, die durch das jüngste Erdbeben noch verschärft wurde, hat Millionen von Menschen obdachlos gemacht und das Wesen des „Wohnraums“ ausgehöhlt - ein Raum, der über das Physische hinausgeht und ein Gefühl von Identität, Gemeinschaft und Sicherheit vermittelt.
Wir laden die internationale Architektenschaft ein, sich der Herausforderung zu stellen, innovative, nachhaltige und kulturell sensible Wohnlösungen für die Erdbeben- und Vertreibungsopfer in Syrien zu entwerfen. Mit diesem Wettbewerb soll der komplexen Krise in Azaz begegnet werden, indem ein neues Stadtviertel geschaffen wird, das Schutz bietet und ein Gefühl von Heimat, Gemeinschaft und Zugehörigkeit vermittelt.
Competition assignment
The Syrian conflict, now in its thirteen years, has resulted in one of the most significant displacements in recent history. Over 12.5 million people have been forced from their homes, leaving a vast majority in dire need of shelter, security, and a sense of belonging. The socio-cultural fabric of Syria has been deeply scarred, with buildings and infrastructure severely damaged. This crisis, compounded by the latest earthquake, has left millions homeless and eroded the essence of ‘dwelling’ – a space beyond the physical that fosters a sense of identity, community, and security.
We invite the international architectural community to rise to the challenge of designing innovative, sustainable, and culturally sensitive housing solutions for the earthquake and displaced victims of Syria. This competition seeks to address the complex crisis in Azaz by creating a new urban quarter that provides shelter and recreates a sense of home, community, and belonging.

Challenge
The Syrian conflict, now in its thirteen years, has resulted in one of the most significant displacements in recent history. Over 12.5 million people have been forced from their homes, leaving a vast majority in dire need of shelter, security, and a sense of belonging. The socio-cultural fabric of Syria has been deeply scarred, with buildings and infrastructure severely damaged. This crisis, compounded by the latest earthquake, has left millions homeless and eroded the essence of ‘dwelling’ – a space beyond the physical that fosters a sense of identity, community, and security.
1. City Challenges: Azaz faces overcrowding due to an influx of 2.9 million refugees. The emergency housing need has led to the repurposing agricultural land, posing risks to local food security and the environment. As a result of rapid development, the area’s natural environment and lack of public spaces have been negatively impacted.
2. IDP Challenges: The majority of IDPs live in harsh conditions with insufficient space and privacy, struggling to establish a new sense of belonging amid affordable housing shortages.
3. NGO Challenges: Despite being at the forefront of relief, NGOs face resource constraints and the challenge of rapidly building quality, low-cost housing.
Response
We invite the international architectural community to rise to the challenge of designing innovative, sustainable, and culturally sensitive housing solutions for the earthquake and displaced victims of Syria. This competition seeks to address the complex crisis in Azaz by creating a new urban quarter that provides shelter and recreates a sense of home, community, and belonging.
. Design a Housing Complex: Participants are tasked with designing a housing complex that accommodates 450 families, incorporating cultural, commercial, educational, and public functions.
. Balance Social Responsibility and Community Diversity: The design must harmoniously balance social responsibility, community diversity, and vibrant public spaces, curating spaces that spark interactions and nurture a sense of community.
. Create Resilient and Adaptable Spaces: The design must be earthquake resilient and adaptable, considering future scenarios, changing community needs, and integrating public and private functions to foster a cohesive community fabric.
. Consider Cost Efficiency and Construction Feasibility: The design must be realistic, feasible, and cost-efficient, considering local resources, available skills, and budget constraints.
