ECOHOUSE




To celebrate the forthcoming publication of Ecohouse 2 by Sue Roaf in March 2003 Architectural Press are proud to present the 2003 Design Competition for an Ecohouse.

The Competition

The challenge we are setting you is to design an Ecohouse for your own home town, wherever it is.

The two key aims are to make it:
a) Comfortable, with areas of real 'thermal delight'
b) A real 21st century building, safe from climate change, able to survive without relying on a great deal of fossil fuels.

Design Specifications

You are to design an Ecohouse for a family of two adults and two children and an elderly, disabled grandmother. The house should have four bedrooms.

The site and location are of your choice but should be concisely described on your entry. The site should be in your own home area so you understand the climate and the local architecture instinctively. The house must not be more that 180 square meters in floor plan size for internal rooms and any height, form, materials and style you like can be used. The submission must explain the 'Ecodesign' ideas on which the design of the house is based. The house should be demonstrably comfortable in summer and winter.


Who is eligible

A student, or group of students in a School of Architecture.

The prizes

The prizes for the Competition will include:

The judges

The panel of judges will include five leading practitioners and academics in the field of environmental architecture.

The process of entering
