LOCUS is a new architectural design competition created as a platform for young architects to question, explore, and imagine the possibilities of architecture. As the first edition of a competition envisioned to continue for years to come, LOCUS marks the beginning of an evolving dialogue between emerging designers, ideas, and the places that inspire them. It seeks to celebrate curiosity, critical thinking, creativity, and diverse architectural voices, creating a space where bold ideas can be explored and shared. The inaugural edition sets the foundation for a competition that hopes to grow with every year, every participant, and every new idea brought to the table.
