International Building Design Competition 2023

Narratives for a Resilient Future

The International Building Design Competition (IBDC) 2023 is an open-themed design competition inviting students from tertiary institutions around the world to design a new narrative for their built environment using technologies like Computational BIM, Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality, Game Engine and Robotic Process Automation and Common Data Environment platforms. 

IBDC 2023 hopes to provide a platform for students to learn and apply their knowledge on the three key areas identified under the Built Environment Industry Transformation Map. The three areas are: 

1. Integrated Planning and Design (IPD) 

2. Sustainable Urban System (SUS) 

3. Advanced Manufacturing & Assembly (AMA) 

The IBDC challenges the participants to address the above 3 areas to come up with innovative, sustainable and in in-demand proposal that is holistic and resilient. It also aims to promote a better understanding and appreciation of technologies like Computational Building Information Modelling (BIM) as students are required to apply visual programming and/or programming setup with BIM in their proposal.
