Living Steel Launches Second International Architecture CompetitionLiving Steel, a worldwide programme to stimulate innovation in the design and construction of housing, today announced its second International Architecture Competition focused on the development of sustainable housing.
Architects from around the world are invited to accept the challenge of developing new urban housing by expressing their interest to participate in the competition.
With a total prize fund of €300,000, the competition is one of the largest architectural design initiatives in the world.
Competition finalists will be invited to design new concepts for residential buildings in Brazil, China and the United Kingdom.
The winning submission for each location will receive a €50,000 prize and a contract to complete their designs.
The remaining short listed finalists will each receive a €10,000 honorarium.
Speaking about the initiative on World Architecture Day, Scott Chubbs, Living Steel Programme Director said, "The growth of cities has placed unprecedented pressure on society to rapidly address increasing population densities and the consequent impact on local environments, economies and quality of life.
In this context, the Living Steel competition presents architects with a unique opportunity to bring their vision for effective and affordable housing to life".
