「紙上住宅建築國際競圖」的創立宗旨在於透過競圖的題目或議題，鼓勵年輕建築從業人員或學生，關注我們居住環境之需求及發展，進而提出前瞻性的建議案或設計創意，以解決現今及未來的居住問題，增進全體人類生活福祉。本屆評審Francine Houben為回應自2019年底爆發並蔓延全球的COVID-19，將此次競圖題目訂為「住宅的未來–在大流感來臨之前與之後（The Future of Housing-before and after a pandemic）」，期望可以看到一種新的「宜居」住宅型態。在此居民可以永續的生活著，並同時兼顧了「被保護的安全感」與「與關懷的連結感」。
The purpose of the competition is to encourage young architect-related workers and students to have creative design to solve demand and development for our residential environment and to enhance well-being worldwide, based on the subject of the competition.

Residents can live sustainably with the secure of safety and connection.
本屆競圖獲得全球三十五個國家的建築工作者回響參與，為求慎重仍將採兩階段審查方式進行，預計於2021年1月底公布初選入圍名單，並於3月初舉辦決選審查。由於COVID-19疫情截至今日仍未趨緩，每日仍有高達數萬人確診，全球多個國家正實施封城隔離，試圖控制疫情蔓延，因此本屆「紙上住宅建築國際競圖」為保障每位參賽者的安全及公平，決選改為採用網路直播方式評選，並公開直播給對本競圖關注的參賽者及全球大眾觀看，藉此促進對疫情後住宅的可能性討論。
