Kay e Sante nan Ayiti International Architectural Design Competition

By — Filed under: Competitions ,Events
 

Kay e Sante nan Ayiti (Creole for Housing and Health in Haiti), is an international competition launched by the ARCHIVE Institute to build five housing units in the area of St. Marc, Haiti. The housing units are unique in that throughout the entire project, from design, construction, and habitation, HEALTH is a driving factor.

We are asking you to contribute your ideas to this project, whatever your background, to share your knowledge and create a truly interdisciplinary network of interested individuals. The 5 winning proposals will be built in 2011, with habitation commencing July 2011. The winning designs will also be showcased in travelling exhibits to universities worldwide and in a ‘best practice’ design development compendium.

More information after the break.

Prizes include:

First place: $5,000 US
Second place: $3,000 US
Third place: $2,000 US

The competition is opened to: Architects, engineers, health specialists, university students and the general public.

Registration Deadline: 20th September 2010. Submission Deadline: 12th November 2010
