Mini Maousse Competition Celebrates 20 Years of Micro-Architecture

Since 2003, the Mini Maousse competition has invited students in architecture, art, design, and landscape to conceive micro-architecture around a theme. The 2024 edition marks its 20th anniversary, showcasing innovative student projects that explore compact, functional structures. The competition emphasizes creativity and sustainability, with participants designing small-scale habitats and installations. Past themes have included mobile shelters, urban interventions, and eco-friendly designs. The initiative is organized by the French Institute of Architecture and supported by various cultural partners. Winning projects are often exhibited and published, providing a launchpad for emerging designers.
