Description
Two major events in the 21st century have significantly impacted the manner in which buildings are designed and constructed—9/11 and Hurricane Katrina. Architecture is responding to this reality with buildings that are better able to resist the impact of severe forces that can be imposed upon them in a major storm or attack. Professionals and students need to be aware of the options available to deal with this new reality. Tilt-Up concrete provides one such option.
One of the latest developments in the use of Tilt-Up is in housing, both single- and multi-family. Tilt-Up provides an opportunity, due to its strength and durability, to resolve the necessity for storm resistance specifically for high profile areas where the storm potential is high.
Challenge entrants to creatively replace large volumes of single-family housing for lower income levels in regions hardest hit by recent hurricanes along the Gulf Coast. Encourage entrants to present prominent, architecturally significant design solutions for housing units that can be placed in new rebuild communities providing measurable improvements to long-term durability.
