SASBE2009 Sustainability Challenge - CIB Student Competition

r_i_t_a — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 21:07:31 GMT

SASBE2009 is the 3rd CIB International Conference on Smart and Sustainable Built Environments. The conference will be held in Delft, the Netherlands, 15-19 June 2009. Central theme is "From problem to promise – building smartly in a changing climate".CIB has made available prize money for an international student competition.

Sustainable living – beyond energy neutrality

The challenge is to propose a concept for a living area or single home that produces sustainable energy that equals out energy consumption. This includes energy for mobility, operation of buildings, product and food production, etcetera. We like you to address the following topics:

Concept of an energy-producing urban environment or solitary house and all its features
A vision on the different energy sources
Energy supply, demand, exchange and storage in time and space
Integration of the latest available technology and ideas on sustainability
The scale of being self-supporting

The setting is an urban environment with different means of transport (private and public). You may chose to combine urban functions or make a proposal for a mono-functional setting. www.sasbe2009.com/competition.html

The competition’s protocol

In the first phase of the competition you may present your concept on four A4s (or two A3s). The content of this presentation preferably contains:

A 3D drawing of the total design presenting the spatial quality
Maps or floor plans
List of systems, products and materials
Diagrams of energy flows and the relations to other flows in the system
Description of the concept over different time-spans (day and night, summer and winter)
Explanation of the technologies involved, referring to (soon) available technologies

Use a maximum of 500 words; the use of references is highly appreciated. We like to receive your entry digitally and in hardcopy before 28 February 2009:competition@sasbe2009.com

The AMD Open Architecture Challenge is an open, international design competition. Its aim is to develop not one but many solutions for building sustainable, multi-purpose, low-cost technology facilities for those who need them most. Three community partners have been selected to participate in this year's Challenge. Each site poses a unique set of design constraints and opportunities. While the needs of each client are unique, the hurdles they face in embracing technology to offer access to education, healthcare and the global marketplace are shared by millions of people in communities all over the world.

You do not have to be trained architect to participate. Anyone can enter. Entrants are invited to develop a design for one, two or all three sites.

Each design entered into the competition will be published and shared on the Open Architecture Network so that any community looking for similar design solutions will have access to them.

Europan

bori.si — Tue, 03 Apr 2007 15:32:00 GMT

Hey guys!

To distract you a bit from thinking about the summer, I want to do a bit of shameless pimping for the Europan competition...

If you are not familiar, Europan is a comeptition for young architects which has given opportunities and fame to many of the famous architecture names we know today.

This year, we are especially excited about Europan Slovenia - the site is in Ljubljana, the capitol, and represents an extension of the city centre. It's 80ha for urban design and up to 4 project sites to choose from.

The city is really hoping for some fresh international thinking, so if any of you are looking to do a competition - take a look at www.europan.si.

Registration deadline is in May, and the only requirement is that one of the team has to be an accredited architect. You can register through www.europan-europe.com.

Cheers,b.

ArchitectsJURY.com is a new site for students of Architecture all around the world. You can see/vote/comment on architecture-related computer images, and you can upload your own renderings and get your work rated. More and more students put their work to the site, so now there is a huge competition, and now a Macbook Pro is the prize for the best work.It definitely worth it, if not because of the prize than the inspiration.

More breathing space

frederik — Wed, 30 Nov 2005 15:32:11 GMT

at the moment im working on redesigning a pedestrianstreet in istanbul in coorporation with the city municipality. istanbul is in urgent need of some breathing space for its inhabitants. starting in the very historical center this is meant to be a katalysator for further humanscaled development of a "greener" network of public spaces in this car-oriented metropole.if you have any favorite projects on the subject of pedestrianspaces, id like to ask you to post your inspirational links/pics from any place, here.

Gratefully,
