ResilientCity.org Design Ideas Competition

ResilientCity.org International design ideas competition.

The purpose of the competition is to raise awareness in the Architecture, Planning and Engineering communities of urban resiliency as a central strategy for dealing with the future impacts on our cities of Peak Oil and Climate Change. We hope that this ideas competition will generate many imaginative and useful design and planning exemplars that effectively illustrate ResilientCity.orgs planning and design principles.

Participants may submit one or more design ideas for the four Building Design and Urban Design Scenarios. Each Scenario represents an important opportunity to design for more resilient, post-carbon, zero net energy buildings and urban fabric.

Prizes include a First Prize of $1,000 CN (any category); a building design Second Prize of $500 CN; an urban design Prize of $500 CN;  and publication of winning and honourable mentions on the ResilientCity.org website.

Closing Date:  June 1st 2009.  More details at: www.ResilientCity.org
