LINA Writing Award

The LINA Writing Award is a collaboration between the Irish Architecture Foundation and dpr-barcelona, offering a selected Fellow the opportunity to develop and publish an original work exploring the worlds, landscapes and realities faced by emerging practices shaping future urban environments.

With a particular focus on new narratives and forms of storytelling, the award provides €3,000 in financial support, together with dedicated editorial mentorship from dpr-barcelona. The selected Fellow develops an original fictional narrative rooted in architectural thought and informed by their experiences and encounters with the LINA community. Fellows are encouraged to explore new modes of storytelling that interrogate the visible and invisible dynamics of architecture. They will get editorial mentorship on content, structure, image integration and professional copy-editing, supporting both the creative development of the project and its publication to a high editorial standard. The award offers a unique opportunity for creative and professional development, while opening pathways to international recognition.
