This year's projects: Architecture - Export

 

We are confronted with a significantly increasing demand for communications not least in the architecture and design sector.

Architecture-Export is not only a project, it is also a whole bundle of measures catering specifically for architecture and design office needs.

zerofootprint re-skinning award - Call for Entries

The Vision

The Zerofootprint Re-Skinning Awards is a not-for-profit initiative of Zerofootprint Software. The awards showcase newly evolving retrofitting and re-skinning design technologies, and present new ways of thinking about environmental sustainability and architectural design. The purpose of the competition is to jump-start the discussion around how we might retrofit entire cities in order to massively reduce our collective environmental footprint.

 

Who Should Enter

Architects, designers, engineers, building owners, or other professionals (individuals or groups) are eligible to submit building projects.  Buildings must be at least 50% complete with clear evidence of the new cladding system.  The jury will determine final eligibility of incomplete projects.

New for 2011

In March 2010, the first Re-Skinning Award winnerswere announced at the World Urban Forum in Rio de Janeiro, before a global audience.

This year we have teamed up with the leading school of its kind in Canada, the John H. Daniels School of Architecture, Landscape, and Design, University of Toronto to build on the success of the inaugural year.

 The deadline to submit an entry to the 2011 Re-Skinning Awards is August 31, 2011.
