DesignBuild REFLECT 2026 – submit your projects now!

Registration is open until 14 December 2025.

Here we focus on exciting theory-building and cross-project issues - a highly topical subject. Overarching contexts are considered and reflected upon. The aim is to shed light on the DesignBuild phenomenon so that other people can learn and benefit from the experience.

The closing date for entries for both competition disciplines is 14 December 2025. A jury will decide on the winners in mid-January 2026 and then announce them. They will then be able to access the funding. The Sto Foundation will also support the winning projects with their public relations work.
