Our world is changing. Imagine Mumbai and Miami permanently underwater, hurricanes frequently clashing against Manhattan and Manila, devastating droughts in l. a. and London, and fires running rampant in Sydney and San Francisco . a worldwide future like this currently occupies our imagination but inches closer to reality every day .
How will our built environment react to rising sea levels, extended droughts, climbing temperatures, and other symptoms of worldwide warming? How can our buildings and cities prevent the severity of natural disasters, degrading air quality, melting ice caps, and global climate change at large?

WARMING calls on students and professionals from the fields of architecture, planning, and style to submit projects that answer our changing climate and therefore the environment.

CHALLENGE

WARMING competition participants are asked to propose new or adapted architecture that addresses issues of global warming. Participants are free to experiment and explore the subject – designs can be of any program, any scale, and on any site. Architecture may be building types such as homes, parks, skyscrapers, stadiums, schools, museums, libraries, transportation, multifamily housing, and more.

See how designers addressed our changing climate in last years WARMING Competition here.

​Participants may propose architecture that prevents the rise of global warming or architecture that reacts to the changing world we will inhabit. Participants may also take a combined approach.

PREVENT – designs can address issues such as renewable energy, recycling, sustainable farming, sustainable materials, passive design, or many others.
