This competition, organized for the fourth time by the Huttopia Foundation, is open primarily to architecture students, who may register individually or in groups of up to five people. It encourages innovation in housing and ecotourism facilities. It offers a stimulating yet demanding platform for expression, research, and creativity centered on Tiny Houses, under the guidance of a jury of professionals.

At its inaugural meeting on October 19, 2026, the school’s Board of Directors—composed of members elected in June 2026 and following the appointment of qualified individuals—elected Associate Professor Thomas Eleftériou as its chair, in accordance with Decree No. 2018-109 of February 15, 2018, concerning national schools of architecture.

The Executive Committee of the Board of Directors now consists of Alessia de Biase, Sylvain Ebodé, Thomas Eleftériou (faculty and researchers), Justine Simonot (ATS members), and Pierre Brachet (student representatives).

Banc d’essai(s) aims to support young architecture firms as they launch or grow by providing practical tools, a framework that fosters transparent dialogue, and a network of young entrepreneurs who share the same goals and questions. It also aims to support architecture entrepreneurs through societal transitions—ecological and digital—to address, in particular, the economic, social, and ethical issues and challenges these transitions entail.

Registration deadline: November 16, 2026

The W Prize, organized by the Wilmotte Foundation, is open to students and recent graduates of architecture schools in Europe.

This 12th edition invites participants to conceive a contemporary, light, and reversible installation at the Château d’If site, in dialogue with its history, heritage, and Mediterranean environment. The project should provide a setting conducive to the performing arts by creating a space capable of hosting performances, shows, or artistic interventions related to the site and its history.

The call for projects is supported by the Ministry of Culture, the DRAC PACA, and the Center for National Monuments.

As the terms of office for members of the Commission on Academic Programs and Student Life (CFVE) and the Research Commission (CR) are coming to an end, elections are being held to renew their membership.
