SkyCity Challenge 19: The Future of Housing

Registration Deadline:  Monday, Sep 30, 201912 AMEDT

Submission Deadline:  Tuesday, Oct 1, 201912 AMEDT

After a successful completion of our first challenge SkyCity again, is pleased to invite architects, designers, artists, engineers to take part in the SkyCity Challenge 19, THE FUTURE OF HOUSING.  The current ways of building are affecting the environment we are living in, they are limited and outdated. We believe with the modern technology available, we are able to create far more sophisticated homes that could revolutionize the future of housing.

We want you to design a home that can be dismantled after a time period and used again as if it were just simple prefab modular pieces. A home made out of ready-made slabs which together form a simple disassemblable set. We want you to design this system partially out of BCORE (a special stainless steel material that we created). The pieces must be easily transportable using traditional shipping containers and assemblable anywhere on our planet by the use of a small crew with equipment.  You can situate your project in any kind of environment on any location around our planet.


AWARDS.

1st place: $5,000 USD

2nd place: $3,000 USD

3rd place $2,000 USD

4th – 8th place: $1,000 USD

Winning team travel allowance: $2000 USD + One month Residence in SkyCity, Changsha, China.

Total Awards: $17,000


JURY

We recommend you to organize the Project Board #1 with presentation about your system ( set design / visualizations / ways of assembly schemes) and Project Board #2 with a presentation of your Future Prefab Home made out of your building set that fits into a traditional shipping container.

We hope this new prefab construction prototype will be one of its kind, openly shared around the globe, with each location representing a unique culture inspired by world communities.
