Organising an international architectural competition: the ideal procedure for a successful project.

BAM organises turnkey architectural competitions for demanding clients seeking architectural and environmental quality.

Our expertise and reputation among architects enable us to attract not only the world's most prestigious agencies, but also the young gem you may not have heard of yet.

Organising an architectural competition is also a rare opportunity to create a unifying moment for your teams and partners, and to inject positive energy into the project.

In just a few years, BAM has become the French leading organiser of international architectural competitions.
While retaining the benefits of architectural competitions for the public market, we have rethought this approach to make it more accessible, adaptable and effective for the private market.

Why organise an architecture competition for your project?

  • Access to unsuspected and unseen teams

    Organizing an architectural competition broadens your horizons by giving you access to a varied and innovative pool of architects.

By opening the doors to new talent, you stimulate the creativity and dynamism of your architectural project.

  • Save time

    By opting to organize an architectural competition, you streamline the team selection process. Centralizing proposals within the framework of a competition saves you precious time by eliminating the need to evaluate applications individually. This efficient approach allows you to concentrate your efforts on selecting the best proposals, thus speeding up the start of your architectural project.

  • Stimulating architectural creativity

    Launching an architectural competition is an invitation to innovation and creativity. By encouraging architects to come up with bold, original ideas, you encourage the emergence of unique and remarkable architectural solutions. This competitive process stimulates the imagination of participants and encourages the exploration of new approaches, which can enrich your project with a forward-looking and inspiring architectural vision.
  • Becoming a benchmark for low-carbon construction

    By organising an architectural competition focusing on low-carbon construction, you are positioning your project as a leader in the field of sustainability. By focusing on criteria such as energy efficiency, the use of ecological materials and environmentally-friendly construction practices, you can become a benchmark in the promotion of sustainable construction. This approach allows you to create an iconic project that inspires other similar initiatives and helps to advance sustainability standards in the construction industry.
