Call for Submissions: 2025 Lyceum Competition

Calling all architecture students! The 2025 Lyceum Competition, A Community for the Future of Food, challenges participants to reimagine two reclaimed buildings along Bridgetown, Barbados’s iconic Carlisle Bay. Guided by Program Author and Jury Chair Pierre Serrao (Black Star Barbados, Ghetto Gastro), this year’s theme focuses on sustainable design rooted in the region’s culinary heritage.

Your mission: transform these beachfront spaces into dynamic hubs for culinary innovation and community connection. Highlighting the disparities in the Caribbean’s food system, this competition encourages designs that promote ecological farming, local consumption, and cultural pride. Don’t miss this opportunity to shape the future of food in the world’s youngest nation!
