“Changing individual and community behaviour alone can have a significant impact on the environmental and climate crises”

Even a small decision we take towards making sustainable choices—whether as an individual, a community or an institution—has the potential to lead us to a healthier future.
This year, the IGBC Green Design Competition calls for sustainable design solutions inspired by the focus on individual action as promoted by LiFE. Participants can choose to come up with ideas at any one of the three distinct scales of S, M, and L targeting positive change at different scales for the built environment. With each scale of the intervention, they'll have the opportunity to create solutions that push the users towards environmentally conscious and sensible lifestyles.
Promoting diverse approaches based on geographical, cultural and climatic contexts, these projects should encourage behavioural changes in the lifestyles of the population. When scaled up and implemented in real-world situations, these projects should lead us towards a sustainable future for all.

Important Dates:
Registrations open: 21st April 2023
Registration deadline: 7th August 2023
Submission deadline: 15th August 2023

Site and Context:
For S interventions, choose a building, room, or area not greater in size than 25 sq. m.
For M interventions, choose a site with an area not greater than 1,000 sq. m.
For L interventions, choose a site up to 1-2 hectares in size.
The selected site can be located in Rural, Urban, or Suburban areas in any part of South Asia, given that the area requires a redesign to take a step towards circularity.
As per the context and location of the site, the users can vary. Each team is free to generate its own programme and design framework.
Clearly define what your spaces/product(s) stand for. Evolve a sustainable philosophy for your design.
