The NETWORKSHOP project in Adelaide serves as a creative hub designed to foster collaboration and innovation among artists and the community. Positioned as a central point of artistic activity, it aims to reinvigorate urban spaces through a network of interconnected creative sites. The architecture reflects a modern approach, integrating functional spaces with an emphasis on flexibility and community engagement.

Key components of the design include the central hub, which is characterized by its open spatial organization, allowing for various uses including workshops, exhibitions, and public gatherings. This central space is complemented by ancillary areas such as administrative offices and child care facilities, creating a multi-functional environment that accommodates both individual and collective activities.

The architectural approach distinguishes itself through its emphasis on urban integration and adaptive reuse. The design utilizes existing urban landscapes while introducing new, movable structures that cater to dynamic creative practices. This strategy enhances the flexibility of the spaces, making them responsive to changing needs within the community.

By utilizing a combination of concrete, glass, steel, and locally sourced bricks, the project establishes a dialogue with Adelaide's architectural heritage while also presenting a contemporary aesthetic. The use of transparent materials fosters a connection between the indoor and outdoor environments, enhancing public interaction and accessibility.

Unique design approaches include the incorporation of temporary art installations and movable workstations within public parks and waterfront areas. This integration extends the reach of the creative hub into the surrounding urban environment, promoting spontaneous interactions and cultural exchanges. The design also prioritizes inclusivity, ensuring that the spaces accommodate a diverse range of activities and user demographics.

In summary, the NETWORKSHOP project redefines the relationship between architecture and community, creating an interconnected system of creativity within Adelaide. For further insights into the architectural plans, sections, designs, and ideas, readers are encouraged to explore the project presentation in detail.

The Mujassam Watan Urban Sculpture Challenge invites architects and designers to create iconic public sculptures for one of two sites in Saudi Arabia: Abu Hadriyah Road or the Tharwa Sea Front in Al-Khobar. Proposals should reflect Saudi identity, culture, and future aspirations.

`

The Mujassam Watan Urban Sculpture Challenge is an international architecture and design competition inviting creatives to shape the future of Saudi Arabia’s public spaces. With a total prize fund of €50,000, the competition calls for sculptural proposals that merge cultural symbolism with innovative design, offering participants a chance to see their concepts brought to life in a rapidly transforming national context.

Organised by Buildner in partnership with the Mujassam Watan Initiative, the challenge focuses on two prominent locations: Abu Hadriyah Road, a major highway and gateway into the Eastern Province, and the Tharwa Sea Front in Al-Khobar, a pedestrian-focused waterfront district. Designers must select one site and develop a sculpture that engages with its surroundings—whether addressing the fast-paced dynamism of a transit corridor or creating moments of interaction along a coastal promenade.

Proposals should be bold, site-specific, and rooted in narrative—drawing on themes such as heritage, national identity, transformation, and dialogue. Environmental responsiveness, material durability, and feasibility are strongly encouraged, as winning projects may be selected for actual construction.

Each submission must include four A2 landscape presentation boards, a cover image, and a written project description. The competition is open to professionals and students alike, working individually or in teams of up to four people. No professional license is required.

Registration is open until July 24, 2025, with final submissions due by August 27, 2025. Winners will be announced on October 1, 2025.
