WARMING Competition

BRIEF

Our world is changing.

Imagine Miami Beach permanently underwater, hurricanes constantly clashing against Manhattan, devastating droughts in London, and heatwaves that render Barcelona unlivable.

A future like this currently occupies our imagination but inches closer to reality each day. 

What does our world look like in this future? How do our lives change? How will our built environment and decisions as a society react to rising sea levels, extended droughts, climbing temperatures, and other symptoms of global warming? How can our buildings, processes, and lifestyles prevent the severity of natural disasters, degrading air quality, melting ice caps, and climate change at large?

WARMING calls on students and professionals from the fields of architecture, planning, design, and engineering; plus problem solvers from all backgrounds to help guide and imagine humanity’s pathway forward on Earth.

Participants may propose strategies that prevent the rise of global warming or strategies that react to the changing world we will inhabit. Participants may also take a combined approach.
