The project "Fuse" presents an architectural design that serve as a cultural hub located in Bangkok, Thailand. This facility is designed to foster community engagement, creativity, and innovation within the fashion industry. By bridging local artisans with global markets, Fuse aims to address the challenges currently facing the Thai fashion landscape while supporting local identity.

The architectural design prioritizes interaction and versatility, promoting relationships between end-users, designers, and the community. Key features include multipurpose spaces for exhibitions, workshops, and events that facilitate diverse fashion-related activities. The layout emphasizes open studios and communal areas, enabling transparency and engagement.

A distinctive element of Fuse is its focus on traditional Thai architecture, notably reflected in its use of local materials. The incorporation of red brick serves both aesthetic and functional purposes, providing thermal mass and a sense of place. Large glass windows enhance natural lighting and visibility, further inviting community interaction. The wooden structural components connect the building to traditional craftsmanship, while a robust metal framework supports expansive roof structures essential for hosting events.

The design employs flexibility as a central theme. Spaces are intentionally adaptable, allowing for various configurations depending on user needs, from informal meet-ups to structured fashion shows. This fluidity is an important aspect, making the hub a dynamic environment suitable for evolving creative expressions.

In addition to its functional dimensions, Fuse incorporates green design principles, prioritizing sustainable materials and practices throughout its construction. Landscaping features not only enhance the immediate surroundings but also promote biodiversity, encouraging outdoor interaction amongst users.

The architectural design of Fuse stands out through its commitment to cultural empowerment. By providing accessible education and encouraging hands-on demonstrations, the hub facilitates an enriched understanding of local craftsmanship while fostering a sense of belonging in the community.

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.
