OPEN CALL: Contemporary Architecture and Engineering in the Middle East

In the spring of 2012 the Center for Architecture will host the U.S. debut of the exhibition City of Mirage: Baghdad, 1952-1982 and mount a related exhibition Change: Architecture and Engineering in the Middle East, 2000-Present, which will be on view from February 22 – June 23, 2012.

Enter NYC’s first exhibition on contemporary architecture and engineering in the Middle East and support the presentation of City of Mirage: Baghdad, 1952-1982, from Wright to Venturi.

Note: This is not a competition. All project submissions will be included in the exhibition* — the exhibition is intended to provide a snapshot of contemporary architecture and engineering in the Middle East. All participants’ work will be put in context by an expert scholar, who will provide interpretation on the cultural, political and environmental situation of the region.

Eligible Projects

Submitted projects must be located in the Middle East**. In addition to commissioned projects in design, under construction, or recently completed, we are accepting un-built competition entries. All constructed projects must have been completed after January 1, 2000. The work may be a project of any size and style.

*Project Submissions are guaranteed to be included in the exhibition if they meet the eligibility requirements, follow the registration guidelines and if the registration fee has been paid.

All payments are final and no refunds will be granted.
