Description
Our world is changing. Imagine Mumbai and Miami permanently underwater, hurricanes frequently clashing against Manhattan and Manila, devastating droughts in Los Angeles and London, and fires running rampant in Sydney and San Francisco. A global future like this currently occupies our imagination but inches closer to reality each day.
How will our built environment react to rising sea levels, extended droughts, climbing temperatures, and other symptoms of global warming? How can our buildings and cities prevent the severity of natural disasters, degrading air quality, melting ice caps, and climate change at large?
WARMING calls on students and professionals from the fields of architecture, planning, and design to submit projects thatrespond to our changing climate and the environment.
CHALLENGE

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 ashomes, parks, skyscrapers, stadiums, schools, museums, libraries, transportation, multifamily housing,and more.
See how designers addressed our changing climate in last years WARMING Competition here.

PREVENT–designs can addressissues such as renewableenergy, recycling, sustainable farming, sustainable materials, passive design, or many others.
REACT – designs can address issues such as sea level rise, droughts, wilderness fires, severe weather, habitat destruction, or many others.
