Imagine the ecological transition through architectural, urban and landscape design.

For the seventh consecutive year, Braillard is launching its annual call for diploma projects and early works in architecture, landscape and urban planning. The selected projects will join the Transition Seeds webinar series and will be shared with audiences in Switzerland and internationally.

Approaches, strategies and proposals must fall within the framework of Braillard’s cultural and research programme, The Eco-Century Project (ECP).

 

Themes

Projects should be part of an ecological transition approach, addressing one or both of the following lines:

  • Decarbonisation of buildings, cities and territories
  • Resilience of buildings, cities and territories

 

Eligibility

  1. Only one project may be submitted, whether individual or collective.
  2. Diploma projects must have been validated by the affiliated institution.
  3. The submission should be based primarily on drawings, models and digital modelling, supplemented where appropriate by texts and calculations.

 

Selection and process

Braillard, together with the scientific committee of the Eco-Century Project, will select 10 projects to form the 2027 lecture programme. Results will be announced by e-mail at the end of November.

The webinars will be held online, in French or English, between January and June 2027. Each presentation will be:

  • discussed by a respondent appointed jointly by Braillard and the candidate;
  • followed by a public discussion moderated by the director of Braillard.

Selected candidates will be supported by Braillard’s experienced team in preparing their presentation.
