In summer 2015, 14 European architectural institutions from 13 different countries came together to launch the Future Architecture Platform. The goal of this association is to bring the innovations, experiments and ideas of a new generation of architects and planners up for discussion and to network these internationally. For this purpose, the platform itself provides digital communication channels, which are additionally enhanced by each individual member. By means of workshops, exhibitions, conferences, lectures and books, complex issues regarding how the living environment is to be shaped in the future are discussed at the platform’s individual institutions all throughout Europe.

The Future Architecture platform is a well-balanced ecosystem of European cultural players in architecture who perform specific roles within a complex European architecture program. It connects multi-disciplinary emerging talents to high profile institutions like museums, galleries, publishing houses, biennials, and festivals. It provides talented conceptual thinkers and practitioners in architecture with opportunities to speak up – and be seen and heard.

The Future Architecture Platform is the biggest pan-European architecture & design platform with 28 biggest architecture events and institutions from 23 countries of the continent as their members.  Kosovo Architecture Foundation is one of the founding members of the platform and our director Bekim Ramku serves as the board member of the platform since its beginning.

What does Future Architecture Platform do.

Call for Ideas is much more than a competition. It is an invitation to register ideas and help shape the most groundbreaking architectural happenings and events that form the core of the European Architecture Program. You can apply in November and be selected to participate at the Creative Exchange in February.

Creative Exchange is the most insightful annual convention of architecture lovers and professionals taking place every February at MAO Ljubljana. It brings together platform members and 25 of the most progressive emerging creatives selected through the Call for Ideas. It offers opportunities to connect and keep up with the latest developments and tendencies in architecture.

European Architecture Programis a series of the most significant and interconnected architectural happenings and events in Europe. Selected emerging creatives from the annual Call for Ideas are becoming exhibitors, speakers, workshop leaders, and other key players in the programme modules implemented by the member institutions across Europe.

Future Architecture Rooms is an unconventional virtual environment at the intersection of the real and the immaterial in which twenty-seven European institutions, members of the Future Architecture platform, have constructed a digital context for exchange, knowledge transfer, discussion, education, and presentation.
