The Municipality of Lund, VA SYD, and the Department of Architecture and Built Environment Lund University, Sweden invite architecture students to take part in URBFORM 1:1 — a design competition for new urban furniture for Campusplatån.

URBFORM 1:1 Student Competition

In collaboration with the SUDes Master’s Programme in Sustainable Urban Design, celebrating 20 years of teaching and practice in sustainable urban futures, the competition asks:
Can urban furniture help shape climate-ready cities?

Campusplatån will become a testbed for climate adaptation, exploring responses to flooding, water scarcity, and extreme weather.

We are looking for multifunctional, climate-smart and innovative proposals — where urban furniture becomes part of new systems for water management and urban resilience.

Open to architecture students at LTH in teams of 1–4 students.

• Registration deadline: 17 August
• Submission deadline: 28 August
• Winners announced: 22 September (Sustainable Urban Design Symposium)

Winning proposal will be built at Campusplatån + awarded:
• SEK 1,800 (Municipality of Lund)
• SEK 5,000 (Dept. of Architecture & Built Environment)
