About

As the host of the founding UIA (International Union of Architects) Congress in 1948, the city of Lausanne has offered to host the 28th UIA Congress in 2023. This Architecture Competition is created for the design of a Swiss Room, which should showcase Lausanne’s candidature to organize the 28th UIA Congress.
The challenge posed by this competition is to design a place-object which encapsulates the ideas behind the topic of “Architecture and Water”. This place-object must be able to house a table and 4 chairs for discussions, presentation of the candidature, etc. It will be located in the hall of the Convention center in Seoul.
It involves creating a place to showcase Lausanne’s Candidature which offers an intuitive approach to the multiple ramifications of this topic. It should, effectively, act as a laboratory of ideas.
