2026 Bamboo U × Base Bahay Affordable Housing Contest
The Bamboo Housing Challenge — Designing & Building the Future of Sustainable Homes
What is the Contest?
The Bamboo Housing Challenge is a global design competition inviting architects, designers, engineers, students, and creative thinkers worldwide to imagine a bamboo-based affordable home prototype that can be built for under USD 10,000. Its curatorial intent is to merge innovation, human-centered design, and climate-resilient architecture, culminating in a real built prototype in Bali, Indonesia — not just a conceptual competition.
