Concrete Design Competition 12 – TRANSFORM

The 12th Concrete Design Competition on TRANSFORM asks students of architecture, design, and engineering to explore and exploit the potential of concrete with respect to any notion of TRANSFORM. These can be related to inherent material properties, its production process, and to concrete’s application in new or existing structures. They may address aesthetic desires, structural systems or fabrication methods, and comment on economic realities, sustainability demands or social issues.

TRANSFORM can be interpreted simply as the act of working with concrete, making a formwork, pouring and demoulding. However, it can also refer to pressing issues of our time such as circularity, reducing emissions, reuse, and very long-term use. These lead to a changing practice of use, build and design. A whole industry, on all levels, to TRANSFORM.

Winners of the competition will be invited to a week-long hands-on international master class with concrete. Supported by the industry, specialists, and expert critics and lecturers the material will be explored and tested through the making of prototypes.

The Concrete Design Master Class TRANSFORM will take place in August 2026 in Vienna, Austria.
