Media Alert: UNU-FLORES and Partners Launch International Ideas Competition for the House of No Waste
Our House of No Waste initiative calls upon aspiring young architects, engineers, planners, scientists, and designers to engage in a global competition. The vision for the HØW Competition is to develop proposals for groundbreaking public projects that not only embody circular economy principles and human-centred design, but to also set a new standard for how we manage resources and avoid wasting resources in construction.
Submissions can take the form of a building concept, an urban planning strategy, a building or material system, a construction technology or process, or a product relating to the built environment. Participants have the freedom to define a site, context, or target user group for their submission.
