Kaira Looro 2026

Architecture Competition

Community Center in Africa

Kaira Looro is the most important and influential architecture competition in the world, open to students and young architects, with the aim of discovering new talents and adopting sustainable architecture models for humanitarian purposes, to improve living conditions in developing countries. The winners, selected by an international jury composed of the best architects in the world, receive prestigious awards.

We seek an architecture that goes beyond mere construction, one that restores dignity, strengthens identity and rights, and reflects the universal values of solidarity and shared humanity.
