In this edition, the organizers propose the participants to improve the professional and creative potential of their teams by inviting artists to join their working groups, so that architects and artists implement their design ideas as temporary structures in Garage Square.
Last summer, after the competition for the construction of the pavilion was canceled, the organizers decided to open the winning pavilion in the 2019 edition, projected by SNKH, who are part of the jury of this new call.

“This competition is a great opportunity for emerging architects to build their boldest designs. You don’t get the chance to design a cinema every day, let alone the cinema of a contemporary art museum. For us the competition was an invaluable experience and a confidence booster.”
Ashot y Armine Snkhchyan, contest winners in 2019
Participants will be able to apply online until July 4, 2021, and the winning project will be built in 2022 to be operational in the summer of the same year.
