Description
Living city Design competition entries should both inspire and inform. The competition is meant to provide powerful but readily accessible models of truly sustainable cities. Members of the general public should be able to view the visualizations and come away with a clear sense of how each city would look, feel and function. At the same time, entries must be grounded in real technology and presented with sufficient information to be useful to skilled designers, engineers and planners. The winning entry should be so compelling that current members of the green building movement will want to devote themselves to achieving its vision.
Contest teams may choose to base their models on either medium density communities (towns or re-purposed now walkable suburbs) or higher density urban cores based within the density and solar rights requirements of the living Building challenge 2.0.
