C2C Home Design and Construction Competition
Winners
Winners
Some of the world's top leaders in design, housing and sustainable
development were in Roanoke, Virginia on January 13 and 14 to review the
entries from the C2C Home Competition. The C2C Home Competition
received more than 625 design submissions, with thousands of participants
from 41 countries worldwide.
William McDonough, co-author of the ground-breaking book Cradle to Cradle:
Remaking the Way We Make Things, described the C2C competition design
challenge this way "Our goal is clear: a delightfully diverse, safe, healthy and
just world, with clean water, air, soil and power - economically, equitably,
ecologically and elegantly enjoyed." The homes were designed in response
to this challenge.
Professional category winners include:
1st place: Brian Cloward, Bruce Kinnan, Tammy Frick - Seattle WA USA
2nd place: Patrick Freet, Minneapolis, MN USA
3rd place: Mahbub Rashid - Atlanta GA USA
4th place: Douglas Oliver, Vincent Snyder - Houston TX USA
Winners in the professional category will receive awards of $5,000, $3,000,
and $1,000. Competition organizers will work with the selected designers to
have their designs developed and then constructed in Roanoke, Virginia
during the summer of 2005.
Student category winners include:
1st place: Sean Wheeler, Jason Zawitkowski - Powhatan, VA USA
2nd place: Damien Urain Linnen - Clemson, SC USA
3rd place: Jinyong Yum - Vancouver, BC Canada
4th place: Robert Gay - Austin, TX USA
Winners in the student category will receive awards of $5,000, $3,000, and
$1,000. Selected students will also receive internships to work on the
construction of the C2C Homes during the summer of 2005.
The construction process will be a modern day equivalent to a traditional
American barn-raising. Based on the cradle to cradle protocol, this will
include local builders, neighborhood groups, volunteers, as well as university
students from around the world.
Architects, students, and university teams enthusiastically accepted the
invitation to design the most innovative and affordable housing solutions
possible. Submissions were expected to respect the character of Roanoke's
core neighborhoods, be economically viable and be representative of the
thinking of William McDonough and Michael Braungart's groundbreaking
book. The C2C Home Competition received more than 625 design
submissions, with thousands of participants from 41 countries worldwide.
