BIODESIGN COMPETITION

The Biodesign competition is a two week long sprint, seeking bold and
innovative visions for the future of construction at the intersection of the
physical, the digital and the biological.
We seek radical visions for the following categories:
A Spaces for living – Single family home in the suburbs – Multi-family
apartment in the city – Informal settlement or slums in the context of an
emerging economy – In situ revitalization of abandoned building in the
context of cities with declining population.
B. Spaces for learning or healing – Visions for primary or secondary
schools – Novel typologies for wellness instates
We encourage participants to consider the following questions while
thinking about their designs:
WHAT recent technological developments will enable such a
transformation?
WHY do you think these technologies will transform construction industry?
What value do you see in such a paradigm shift? Will the buildings generate
their own energy or aid wellness?
HOW will they transform the construction process?
Will building be grown instead of assembled?
The winners will be announced on September 6th 2016.
