## Description

The fourth edition of the Perspektive Fund’s Architecture Ideas Competition invites architects, designers, and artists from France and Germany to submit proposals addressing the theme "HEATWAVE: Adapting Public Spaces to Extreme Weather Conditions." The competition seeks creative and ingenious solutions for adapting public spaces to the realities of a climate-crisis driven future, even with limited resources, or through utopian/radical approaches. Submissions should consist of three to six images and a 500-word text in English, compiled into a single PDF document. The jury will prioritize the choice of the project site and its significance for local inhabitants, as well as the originality and environmental impact of the proposed solution.
