The European architectural platform LINA, of which the Belgrade International Architecture Week - BINA is also a member, has opened a competition for architectural projects dealing with the connections between architecture and the climate and environmental crisis.

In its open call, LINA addresses emerging architects and other creative individuals to share their ideas, projects, or practices, which could help make the European Green Deal a reality. At the competition, which will be open until September 12, representatives of the platform will select the top 15 projects.

This program, led by Matevz Celik from the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Ljubljana, builds on the Future Architecture platform.

The new LINA network represents an alliance of architectural museums, universities, research groups, festivals, foundations, biennials and triennials, as well as other architectural organizations - key players who can help big ideas reach their target audience.

Selected authors will be invited to speak at the annual conference, the first of which will be held this year in Ljubljana. The program will feature some of the most prominent thinkers in the field of architecture, as well as innovative ideas promote the values ​​of the European Green Deal and the New European Bauhaus. Selected LINA authors and network members will mingle at special meetings, where they will decide how the selected projects will be represented at specific events of the LINA Architecture program.

The aim of the platform is to direct the architectural sector towards sustainable, circular and clean practices. Since there are a number of similar initiatives, this platform connects and highlights their efforts. Member institutions contribute to the LINA Architecture program through conferences, mentoring programs, workshops and various other events. Authors of selected projects are invited to contribute, and LINA will provide these new voices with an international platform for presentation, according to ekapija.com.

The LINA Architecture program will take place in late May next year, when a new cycle will be opened with the next competition, giving yet another opportunity to present new projects and advanced ideas.

More information about the competition can be found on the official website.
