Now on: Evolve Sustainable Design Competition 2013

B+H Architects, with competition sponsor RBC, is running the Evolve Sustainable Design Competition. The competition is open to university students in architecture, engineering, and related programs across Canada, who will work together in multi-disciplinary teams to design a net-zero energy and water-optimizing sport research institute.

An expert jury will review and evaluate submissions. The winning team will receive a cash prize of $5,000, the first runner-up will receive $3,500 and the second runner-up $2,500.

The designs that result from this process will illustrate ways in which it’s possible to minimize the energy and water use in a typical sports facility, while providing a platform for employees, athletes, and the community to experience how sustainable building practices can enhance everyday life.

Registration opens in September. http://www.evolvecompetition.ca.
