The Adelaide Creative Community Hub serves as a multifunctional space designed to facilitate artistic collaboration and community engagement. Located in Adelaide, this project integrates creativity into everyday urban life by providing diverse areas that cater to various artistic practices. The architecture emphasizes transparency and connectivity, creating a vibrant environment where creativity can thrive.

The design features a blend of flexible spaces that accommodate workshops, studios, and event areas. Its material selection, including concrete, glass, and steel, allows for durability while promoting an aesthetically cohesive look. The architectural layout includes an open ground floor for public gatherings, mezzanines for quieter activities, and a rooftop area that extends the usable space outdoors, further enhancing community interaction.

Innovative Spatial Configuration A distinctive characteristic of the Adelaide Creative Community Hub is its innovative approach to spatial configuration. The design deliberately breaks traditional boundaries within an artistic context, encouraging dynamic interactions among users. The varying ceiling heights and open floor plans allow for unstructured movement and adaptability, catering to different community activities and artistic expressions. This malleable space strategy promotes collaboration, making it an integral part of the user experience.

Functionality and User Engagement The project prioritizes the functionality of creative workspaces while fostering user engagement. Designated areas such as studios and workshops are positioned to encourage collaboration among artists, while communal lounges facilitate informal interactions. The integration of natural light through large glass facades enhances user comfort and connects the interior spaces with the urban environment. Additionally, the rooftop garden provides an outdoor retreat, creating an inviting atmosphere that encourages community involvement in various cultural events.

The Adelaide Creative Community Hub stands out in its commitment to blending architecture with community engagement, focusing on flexibility and collaboration among artists. This project exemplifies a thoughtful response to contemporary urban needs through its design.

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.
