Where creativity meets recognition
The Buildner’s Unbuilt Award 2024 stands as a grand celebration of architectural creativity and innovation, dedicated to honoring the brilliance of unrealized designs. It recognizes the profound value embedded within the creative process, celebrating ideas and visions that, while not brought to life, embody the spirit of architectural exploration and ingenuity. This competition celebrates the creative journey of architects and designers, providing a stage for the ideas that push boundaries and shape the future.
Participants are invited to submit their work, offering unrestricted freedom to highlight their creativity and vision. Whether it’s designs still on paper, detailed plans awaiting realization, or conceptual ideas seeking acknowledgment, all forms of unbuilt projects are welcome.
Submissions are categorized as small, medium, or large, so every project gets the recognition it deserves. Buildner aims to showcase the incredible potential of these unbuilt designs, applauding the imagination and commitment of architects and designers striving for innovation and excellence.
