Design competitions are used worldwide in public and private projects as a tool to optimize design and select design partners. For small and large projects alike, the quality of urban and architectural design, landscape architecture and art is sustainably improved by this orderly, fair, transparent, and professional process.

In addition to a brief explanation of the respective task and procedure, the submitted designs for the projects in architecture, urban design and landscape architecture are presented in comprehensive illustrations.
