The call for papers and projects is aimed at architects and designers who view cardboard as a new and alternative construction material. All received submissions shall be selected, catalogued and published in the dedicated section of the website. Such contributions shall also be published in eBook format with an ISBN and shall be available for online consultation.

LuBiCa aims to create a permanent collection of research and projects to stimulate innovative solutions and the overall development of technical and formal features both of the machinery and tools suitable for the production of cardboard building components and for testing and product verification procedures. This confirms, once again, the ever-growing interest in the use of “alternative materials” in architecture and in turn, how it may have an impact on the use, structures and forms of architecture itself.

This call is created in collaboration with l’Ordine degli Architetti, Pianificatori, Paesaggisti e Conservatori della Provincia di Lucca.
