Architecture competition Ecological Community that has nothing to do with the easier arguments between what we think of today as cities and suburbs, nor is it about retrofitting the past. Its purpose is to explore idealized, resource-efficient ways for addressing 21st century limitations and opportunities.
The goal of the competition is to describe and illustrate, in compelling terms, that ecological design, properly understood, must become the new standard. The only limitations as to how you frame your response are those of your own vision concerning the exciting the technological and behavioral achievements that are possible by way of design.
The competition anticipates a wide range of submissions, each of which will be considered on its own terms. The unifying pursuit is to focus the power of architecture and planning to make comprehensive proposals for a way of life centered on ecological and human values.
