2011 Intelligent Green Building Design Competition

Theme

Intelligent green building design is the main theme of this year. There are two divisions for this competition:

Division A: Creative Thinking

For depicting an insight into the problems in our daily life and exploring human needs in safety, healthcare, energy conservation, sustainability, and convenience, participants may provide posters, scenario films or models to present the high quality living spaces and life conditions of intelligent green buildings through the innovative ideas of a living space, products or services. The applications of modern technologies in area of information, communication, sensor and automatic control and their compatibility with environment should be considered.

Division B: Toward Future Home

Based on profound understanding of environment, social structure, and lifestyle changes, e.g. climate change, aging society, participants may provide posters, 3D animations or models to present an architectural planning and design project which applies intelligent high technology, materials, and products to an existing or new building. The project should adopt design principles of both intelligent building and green building in order to reach the purposes of safety, health, convenience, comfort, and environmental sustainability.
