The One Heart Foundation is calling all architects interested in contributing to a life changing international design project. The Australian based ‘for-purpose’ organisation has announced a design competition offering entrants the opportunity to design and masterplan an eco-village for abandoned and orphaned children in Kenya.
The competition winner will be awarded AUD $2000 and the chance to partner with Melbourne based architectural firm ClarkeHopkinsClarke on a pro bono basis to deliver the project over the next two years. Second place will be awarded $1500, and third place $1000.
“We want to work with creative architecture students and recent graduates from around the world to develop a new village that is environmentally sustainable, low cost, simple to build and contextually responsive to the site, culture, climate and unique use,” says Dean Landy, founder of the One Heart Foundation. “This is an opportunity to create the change you want to see in the world.”
