Our world is changing fast, while ambitions and challenges match in importance. In this context, design can play a huge role. How do we imagine the world to be?

In 2020 Non Architecture (NonA) started the second phase of competitions to address the issues of tomorrow.
Monuments are critical tools in shaping the values and identity of society. Most of what we know about many ancient cultures are through public monuments.
The idols of the past that symbolized heroism and patriotism can become the symbols of racism, hatred, and violence. But in the current days, what is a monument? What in a moment like this means to have a monument? Which values, episodes or people are worth commemorating today and in which form? 2020 Monument aims to answer those questions with particular focus on the context of an inclusive society.
