Lucca Biennale Cartasia Competition – Innovative Paper Architecture
ITALY
Lucca Biennale Cartasia celebrates its 12th edition in 2024, twenty years of passion and creativity dedicated to Paper as an expressive and architectural means. With the aim of promoting tradition, culture, sustainability, and innovation, LUBICA announces the call 'Innovative Paper Architecture 2024' to stimulate creativity and research in the field of sustainable architecture. The competition seeks innovative proposals for the design of an exhibition pavilion, covering a minimum of 100 square meters, predominantly constructed from paper/cardboard. The structure should be fully or partially reversible and sustainable, with waterproof and fireproof features, suitable for assembly during the summer season (from June to September). The pavilion will serve as a venue for an art exhibition, and the challenge lies in integrating inventive solutions into the historical context of the city of Lucca, fostering an approach to architecture that challenges conventional schemes.
