The Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC) with the Advanced Architecture Group and the BUILD Solutions project partners are proud to announce the Design with Nature Contest, a global platform to experiment and rethink urban environments in response to today’s global challenges.

Are you a student or professional interested in nature based solutions? Then, this call is for you! This contest is looking for innovative visions for the city of the future where design optimized to integrate nature can transform urban spaces into systems to live, produce, and restore the environment.

This Call aims to boost the reflection on how the integration of technologically enhanced NBS in cities can generate innovative visions, methodologies, and solutions.

  • Can the use of technologies support NBS integration in cities with the final goal to enhance the provision of ecosystem services?
  • How can we strengthen social relations through the implementation of innovative NBS?
  • Will the technology-mediated implementation of NBS in cities lead to the development of innovative business models targeted at addressing current urban challenges?
