Make it Fold

49 Entries, 23 Prizes


In the Make it Fold Student Architecture Contest, we are challenging you to create a structure that incorporates the idea or action of folding.

This can mean you bend material to create a structure, design a building to convey the idea of folding, or create a modular space that can be reconfigured through folding. We want to see your creativity and innovation, so let your imagination soar and show us your ability to think outside the box. Whether you choose to explore origami-inspired designs, use flexible materials to create dynamic spaces, or develop cutting-edge folding techniques, the possibilities are endless.

We're excited to see how you interpret this theme and bring it to life with unique and inspiring architectural solutions. As a reward, the Grand Prize winner will receive a X1C Bambu 3D printer combo to bring your digital creations into the physical world. In addition, we have two special prizes: the Autodesk Judges' Prize, which will be given to the entry that incorporates Autodesk software into their entry in a significant way, and the Architectural Model Judges' Prize, for projects demonstrating exceptional skill in creating a physical model. We also have a range of gift card prizes available for other prize levels, rewarding outstanding entries that showcase ingenuity and design excellence.

Whether you are a novice or an experienced student, we welcome you to push the boundaries and redefine the conventional understanding of architecture with your inventive designs. Get ready to fold, create, and inspire!
