Living Steel is once again asking architects to take up the challenge to develop sustainable housing for the world’s burgeoning housing shortage.
This competition is the chance to be a positive force in the growing global need for economical, environmentally responsible housing. We’ve put together an exciting format that will allow ten teams of two architects each to present their best ideas for filling this critical need.
The Design Challenge
The 3rd International Architecture Competition presents architects with the task of creating energy efficient, single-family, detached housing that minimises climate change emissions and can withstand temperature extremes, yet is affordable to build and to buy.
The winning architects will use the exceptional qualities of steel to construct their design in Cherepovet, Russian Federation, where temperatures can range from -49 C to +34 C. The homes constructed from the winning designs will be part of a community for use by employees of Russian steel maker, SeverStal JSC, headquartered in Cherepovets.
