Uia – Hyp Architecture Students Cup 2025

Uncover. Reclaim. Transform.
An Open Call for Students to Rethink the Overlooked

The topic is broad—and so are the possibilities. This competition challenges students to identify and transform the overlooked “nooks and crannies” of our built environment: forgotten corners, narrow gaps, unused edges, and undefined voids within the urban fabric.

Seek out spaces hiding in plain sight. Question assumptions. Trace connections. Design with the real world in mind—not a utopia.

This is not an abstract or theoretical exercise. It’s a call for tangible, grounded, and design-led responses that reflect the rhythms of everyday life, embrace social complexities, and leave room for poetic expression. Whether you choose a new site or revisit an old project, the brief invites you to get creative, be bold, and reimagine how forgotten spaces can be reactivated with meaning and intent.
