Competition Components

Proposal for sustainable urban interventions (built and natural surroundings), aimed at transforming existing conditions into an “achievable utopia.”

A habitable prototype that is sensitive to its fragile natural context, with appropriate construction technologies and systems.

Contestants may choose to participate in one or both components with separate entries. Both components have professional and student categories. We recommend forming multi-disciplinary teams (architects, ecologists, engineers, urban planners, biologists, sociologists, etc.) to ensure that proposals contemplate the broadest possible array of viewpoints.
