Compact Living: Redefining Urban Spaces

Home » Competitions » Compact Living: Redefining Urban Spaces

With urban populations on the rise, space is becoming an increasingly scarce and valuable resource. High land prices, growing density, and environmental challenges highlight the need for innovative compact living solutions. This competition seeks to redefine urban living by creating functional and livable spaces within limited footprints. Participants are invited to explore how compact design can address housing, education, and city planning in ways that enhance both efficiency and quality of life.

Objective

The competition aims to push the boundaries of architectural design by focusing on compact structures and city modules. Designs should prioritize spatial efficiency while maintaining user comfort and sustainability. Participants are encouraged to develop homes, schools, or even entire urban communities that maximize limited space without compromising essential aspects of modern living, such as privacy, accessibility, and social interaction.
