‍About the Competition

We asked college students: what will the future of design for distanced/digital socialization look like? We want to see their vision with an original 3D model of a creative space at the 1st annual VR AR Global Design Student Competition!

This live-streamed competition aims to celebrate the creativity of architecture and interior design students throughout the world. Students will be exposed to emerging technologies, gain professional exposure, and compete to win a Pico VR headset, a feature article in SPAR3D, and a subscription to The Wild.

Design Challenge

Design a space that encourages digital socialization or innovative social distancing. Could be the future workplace, an office, a public space, a lobby, entry way, a room or building using smart technology, or other utilitarian design idea.
