Description
Do you have what it takes to make a difference? Are you willing and able to rebuild a sustainable foundation for the future? It's time for a change in the way we see things, in the way we do things. It's time for what we build to reflect who we are and what we're made of. It's time to Re:Construct the ideas and realities of sustainable building.
We're looking for your inventive ways to create new types of structures and techniques- or renovate old ones. From planning codes to toilets, dry wall to movable walls we want your help in re-imagining the building industry.
Change the parts of construction and you'll reinvent the act of construction itself. You are what you build. Re:Construct is your chance to reinvent yourself.
