new USA: Lifecycle Building Challenge 3
Submission deadline: August 30
LBC3 is an international design competition focused on facilitating future material reuse. Lifecycle building includes design for deconstruction and adaptive reuse--principles that support cost-effective disassembly and anticipate the future reuse of building materials. Submit your innovative project, design, or idea in Building and Product categories to conserve building materials and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by preserving embodied energy. This year LBC3 is open to US and international student and professional participants, and is sponsored by the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

This open architecture design competition is open for the submission of proposals for the design of a mobile media-centric facility, life support habitation and work module with renewable energy supply, waste recycling, and communications systems. Proposals are invited from architects, designers, engineers, artists, students, and engineering teams. The design should be an open source mobile architecture/system/machine capable of functioning in extreme as well as temperate climates and containing mass/industrial and amateur production/manufacturing potential. The unit is to serve as a model for mobile research within extreme cold environments, with the ability to incorporate high tech solutions while utilizing sustainable resources.

new: Call for Submissions for Monu - magazine on urbanism - Clean Urbanism
Ideas and abstracts should be sent by the end of May 2009.
MONU #11 will be published in the summer of 2009.
When it comes to Clean Urbanism, a lot of proposals have been made recently for the building of so-called "eco-cities" that produce their own energy from the wind, the sun, bio-fuel, or recycled waste. But it has often been denied that such sources of energy, being integrated directly into cities, are highly inefficient, very expensive, and in the case of wind energy, very noisy. Nevertheless, wind turbines in an urban realm, for example, nowadays feature in almost every urban competition entry that requires sustainable energy concepts. Solar panels on rooftops have become state of the art on innumerable new building designs, however inefficient and expensive they are. The question is: how might we achieve a Clean Urbanism that is socially, economically, and politically, but also environmentally correct? This issue of MONU is meant to initiate an advanced discussion and stimulate new and fresh ideas to discover and increase our understanding of how Clean Urbanism could actually work.

Exploration of natural systems from the microscopic to the universal unearths vast design potential for overlaying cultural, ecological, and life cycle flows toward determining new architectonic strategies. The d3 Natural Systems Competition invites architects, designers, engineers, and students to collectively explore the potential of analyzing, documenting, and deploying nature-based influences in architecture, interiors, and designed objects. The competition calls for innovative proposals that advance sustainable thought and performance through the study of intrinsic environmental geometries, behaviors, and flows at various scales. By identifying, examining, and applying their structural order on form and function- -bottom-up, performance-based solutions for limitless building typologies, functional programs, and material conditions may be realized. The d3 Natural Systems Competition allows designers freedom to approach their creative process in a scale-appropriate manner- -from large-scale master planning endeavors, to individual building concepts, to notions of interior detail. Accordingly, there are no restrictions on site, scale, program, or building typology.

We are in an urban age. Most of us today live in cities. Is there a place or a neighborhood in your city that needs a good fix? Do you know of an unplanned settlement, a displaced community, economic uncertainty that has driven away business, environmental degradation that has reduced quality of life, an area enduring the aftermath of natural calamity, a derelict urban site? Have a plan that could turn things around? The competition is open to submissions that solve these common urban problems, on any site, within any city or town, worldwide. If you're passionate about improving the quality of the world's communities, then this competition is for you. Today's built environment needs creative, thoughtful ideas. If you have them, this is your chance to let them shine. The Urban SOS: Distressed Cities, Creative Responses competition is open to individual students or teams of up to four undergraduate and graduate students at all levels from all countries in the design and planning fields including landscape architecture, urban design, architecture, landscape urbanism, economics, planning, geography, engineering, environmental studies and related fields.
