Premise:
In a world where urban populations are rapidly expanding, space is becoming a limited and valuable resource. High land prices, increasing density, and growing environmental concerns have led to the urgent need for innovative compact living solutions. This competition calls for a redefinition of urban living, where the challenge is to create livable, functional spaces within constrained footprints. Participants are encouraged to explore the potential of compact design to address housing, education, and overall city planning in ways that prioritize both efficiency and quality of life.
Objective:
The primary goal of this competition is to push the boundaries of architectural design by focusing on the development of compact structures and city modules. The designs should optimize spatial efficiency while maintaining user comfort and sustainability. Participants are tasked with designing homes, schools, or even entire urban communities with a focus on maximizing limited space without compromising the essential aspects of modern living, such as privacy, accessibility, and social interaction.
