The 2nd Annual BrickStainable competition assignment has been released. View all of the details for this year’s challenge. BrickStainable encourages anyone interested—architects, engineers, material scientists, landscape architects, ecologists and students—to enter.
Entrants can choose from two options—
• INTEGRATED BUILDING DESIGN COMPETITION: The assignment’s building will be set in an urban location. Like last year, the competition seeks integrative design solutions that exploit the thermal qualities of brick masonry construction to create a passively heated and cooled building. The target: Net Zero.
• TECHNICAL DESIGN COMPETITION: Design a single element of a building that provides a sustainable solution to real-world environmental challenges.
Jurors will look for evidence of the project’s performance and encourage the use of BIM, energy, solar and day light modeling software.
Entrants can win a $10,000 grand prize or $7,500 grand prize in the Building Design and Technical Design categories, respectively. Plus, winners will be flown to Washington, DC for the awards celebration on March 31, 2011 at the National Building Museum.
The registration deadline is November 15th and entries are due by December 15th. All of the project specifics and competition details can be found at www.BrickStainable.com.
The results from the first competition blew us away. We can’t wait to see what innovative ideas you have in store this year. Register today to start designing your net-zero building!
