ArXellence 3 is an Open, One-Stage International Transdisciplinary Architectural ideas competition that seeks a holistic approach from the participants to preserve historical memory and promote sustainable development on the Cycladic island of Gyaros.
In the northern part of the Cyclades, there is an unpopulated island with a long and turbulent history. Gyaros is a desolate land shrouded in the remnants of its past. Today, the island has great ecological importance as it hosts the largest population of monk seals in the Mediterranean.
With submissions open until 14.04.2025, three grand prizes of the competition will be awarded by jury vote and will be reflected for the best transdisciplinary approach: €40,000 euro (1st Price), €20,000 euro (2nd Price), €10,000 euro (3rd Price), and 6x Honorable mentions.
