OPEN CALL

NEW VOICES FOR NATURE

PARADIGME invites emerging and interdisciplinary voices from Scandinavia to contribute to a new anthology (book) launching at the Oslo Architecture Triennale 2026. Anchored in the Triennale’s 2026 theme, “What if nature comes first?”, the anthology invites critical, constructive, and cross-disciplinary reflections on the relationship between nature, architecture, and society — expressed through both projects, text, images and art.

WHO?

We welcome submissions from students, recent graduates, and early-career practitioners across architecture, landscape, planning, urbanism, art, design, photography, ecology and social science (and other related fields).

WHAT?

Your contribution may take many forms, including, but not limited to:

• Student Projects (masters thesis, semester projects etc…)

• Built or Unbuilt Projects

• Debate and Essay

• Research

• Art, Illustration & Visual Work

• Photography

• Poetry

WHEN?

Deadline - Open Call

1th of March 2026

We will review your contribution and get back to you in April 2026.

All chosen contributors will work in close dialogue with the editorial team, and we expect a willingness to refine, rewrite, expand or adapt material to fit the tone and format of the book.

Our editorial team collaborates with you to refine the storytelling of your work and expand its audience.

The final book will be released at the Oslo Architecture Triennale, autumn 2026.

HOW?

Send your proposal via mail: hello@paradigme.archi

Include a short summary of your idea (max. 300 words) outlining:

  • What you want to contribute

  • How it relates to nature, architecture, and society

  • What form it will take (text, visual work, project, interview, master thesis etc.)

  • Why this perspective matters now

Please also include relevant supporting material that fits your chosen format.
This may include project PDFs, images, illustrations, a text draft, or excerpts from a thesis.

If you are submitting large files, feel free to send them via WeTransfer or a similar service.

Language: Submissions may be written in Scandinavian languages, but all selected contributions must be developed and delivered in English for the final publication.
