International ideas competition ‘LivingPlace’ that University of Vermont is oganizing for architects, students, engineers, designers, and artists from around the globe.. The LivingPlace is a Vermont-Grown international design competition that encourages the linkage of student-initiated projects and the sustainability needs of the Burlington community through place-based ecological design.
This Ecological Design Competition is sponsored by the new UVM Ecological Design Collaboratory, a community crossroad for ecological design and supported by a grant from the Thoreau Foundation. The LivingPlace Competition serves as a springboard for the launch of the UVM Ecological Design Collaboratory.
Competitors are tasked with creating a holistic design submission that integrates storm-water management, sustainable food production, and community engagement. This is an opportunity for designs that include student-community collaboration.
Three sites (Burlington Waterfront, Burlington High School, and University of Vermont Greenhouse Residential Learning Community) have been selected as the location for proposal designs.
