CartesianForms: Architecture Reimagined is a global AI design competition by FORMAS.AI in partnership with PAACADEMY and Parametric Architecture, sponsored by OpenAI. Choose a 50 × 50 m site anywhere in the world, take an existing building or structure, and reimagine it across three generations: inherit, alter, pass on. AI is part of the design process, not a replacement for it, and the process is part of the submission.
Open worldwide to Professional and Student categories (solo or teams of up to 5, 18+), with over US$120,000 in prizes and participant benefits, including OpenAI sponsorship, FORMAS.AI access, cash awards and PAACADEMY Pro memberships.
