What

REGENERATION is a design workshop in which teams composed of young professionals are called to develop a project of sustainable requalification of an existing public building for the local community.

Every team should respond to specific requirements defined in the announcement. Integrative design, synergistic development of the project and sharing of expertise are necessary prerogatives to tackle this challenge.

The purpose of the competition is to show the best sustainable regeneration project for the existing building in terms of architecture, energy efficiency, liveability and relationship with social, urban and natural context. Criteria used by the Jury to select the winning project will be announced at the beginning of the competition. Official language: English

Tools

Teams are composed by single participants. Every contestant will contribute with his own background, experience and vision to the achievement of the project objectives.

Teams have to develop their project following the guidelines of the Living Building Challenge standard, version 3.1 (LBC 3.1).

The LBC handbooks will be sent to each team leader before the workshop.
