About Competition
Participants are asked to design a labyrinth in floorplan – with a specific size and entrance points. All the remaining aspects of the maze are completely open to interpretation. Once combined and published on our Instagram feed, all the floorplans submitted will compose an endless sequence of labyrinthic rooms, infinite, just like the social media scrolling experience.
Requirements / Eligibility
Non Architecture is also unconventional in its submission requirements. The participants are asked to submit 1 ZIP folder, named with the registration code and the title of the project (CODE_Title), containing:
- The Floorplan (.JPEG)
File name: “CODE_Title of the project_Floorplan”.
- A team document in Word (.DOC), containing
/ the title and subtitle of the project (maximum of 10 words)
/ 5 keywords, at least 1 from the given list (page 10-11), that better explain your project,
And the team’s info in the following format:
/ Name + Surname of each team member (separated clearly),
/ Nationality (multiple options can be added),
/ Institution/company (company or university attended, to be included just in case you want it to be visible once your project is published).
There is no need to create a team name.
One team should consist of 1-4 people.
File name: “CODE_Title of the project_Team”
Non Architecture Competitions are open to all human beings, from every age and cultural background, working in groups or individually. The registration fee is paid per team, regardless of how many members form it. Personal information of all the team members can be uploaded during the submission procedure of the final drawing.

About the Organizer
Non Architecture Competitions aims to find unconventional and unexplored design solutions in the field of architecture. From 2016 to 2019, Non Architecture organized a series of 10 competitions pointed at reinventing functional architectural typologies. In 2020, we entered a new phase structured around nine themes, building a Research Ecosystem with the purpose of exploring each theme from different perspectives and multiple competitions. They will all have their focus on tackling the big issues of tomorrow, by seeking non-traditional approaches in the architect’s work.
