CompetingArchitecture.com are dedicated to promoting architectural competition.
We believe that architectural competitions provide clients with a wide variety of design solutions for their problems while allowing architects to manifest their ideas with freedom. We also seek to provide a forum for the discussion and dissemination of new and creative ideas, thereby exposing people who would not have considered hiring an architect to a verity of architectural solutions.

www.CompetingArchitecture.com is holding a competition to help the people of Haiti who have lost their homes. We would like you to design a temporary structure that can be built for under $400 and assembled with basic construction skills. The structure should be able to protect 4 adults from the elements, support itself on unknown and possibly uneven terrain, provide secure storage, and provide privacy. Please design your structures out of readily available materials; also include a plan for adaptive reuse. How can your structure turn into something that will be useful in the future as its inhabitants start to rebuild their lives? This completion is for designs only the construction and distribution of these structures are not part of the scope.
