About CASA

We all know how demanding and time consuming architecture school can be and how little time we have for other activities such as participating in architecture competitions. In 2009, a small group of students from Romania had the initiative to merge the two worlds - the studio and the competition.

Since 2010, the competition, known commonly and informally as CASA (“house” in romanian), is organized annually in Romania (exception being the 15th edition, which was held in Debrecen) and is the main focus of the second semester of the second year.

With some yearly exceptions, every faculty in Romania has adopted the design task as the main subject of study for their students, and from 2023 onwards, with the continuous participation of the Debrecen faculty of architecture, the competition is open to any international collaboration.

All the students are invited to participate at the design task presentation, get to know each other, exchange experiences and most importantly, take part in the semester long marathon which is CASA.
