Rapid response architecture

‘RAPID RESPONSE ARCHITECTURE’ and 20 more subcategories in the new season of the international competition Eurasian Prize 2022.

Currently the humankind is facing critical challenges, such as pandemics, uncontrolled urbanization, poverty, isolation, social disadaptation, climatic and environmental changes, etc. These challenges highlight the role of architecture as one of the main creative forces that is capable of resisting the tendencies towards de-humanization and contribute to the transformation of society and strengthening of social solidarity.

The architects around the world are particularly distressed by wars, which cause catastrophic destructions and devalue the very essence of what the architects and planners do. Today when a terrible catastrophe is unfolding not only in our Eurasian home, Ukraine, but also in other «hotbeds» on planet Earth, military operations are destroying cities, and millions of people are being displaced, it is critically important to consolidate the efforts of the professional community and direct them at restoring the devastated areas and return the right to life in dignity and comfort to millions of suffering people.

By way of responding to these challenges and following its mission, the Eurasian Prize announces a special competition category, RAPID RESPONSE ARCHITECTURE, which is to demonstrate technologies and design solutions capable of quickly providing thousands and millions of displaced people, refugees, and migrants with comfortable living conditions. Moreover, the competition program of Eurasian Prize 2022 includes over 20 nominations focusing on the principles of humane architecture and sustainable development.

It is our challenge to counter the policy of boycotts and separation, uphold the solidarity of all progressive forces in our profession and provide a broad international context for this display of creative ideas and solutions. We invite not only professional architects, engineers, and designers but also students of creativity schools whose ideas may become the basis of effective solutions.
