Jointly initiated by Hefei Jiuwucang Architectural Assembly Technology Co., Ltd., Z\/S Studio, and Luxelakes A8 Design Center, this year&#8217;s competition takes &#8220;A Fantastical Journey Within&#8221; as its theme and invites architects, designers, and creative practitioners from around the world and across disciplines to participate.<\/p>\n<p>Registration is still open until October 23, 2026, at 12:00 noon (see the end of this article for registration details). We interviewed the competition&#8217;s three lead judges: Liu Jiakun, founder and principal architect of Jiakun Architects; Dong Gong, founder and design principal of Vector Architects and a foreign member of the French Academy of Architecture; and Luo Yujie, founder of LUO studio. Drawing on their respective design experiences, they share their perspectives on bamboo and timber, small-scale architecture, public space, construction principles, and long-term building operations.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/1792177457_563_loader-blue.gif\" alt=\"Content Loader\" style=\"width: 40px; margin: 24px;\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"rene-events__text\">This competition was submitted by an ArchDaily user.
