hi friends,
Please visit http://www.philippineclimatechallenge.org/ for the
details and specifications of the contest.
Building safer climate resistant structures ahead of time is an
endeavor that can radically reduce the number of injuries, climate
refugees and deaths brought on by the unending cycle of disaster
damage =96 reconstruction - repeated destruction in climate sensitive
areas. Since the onslaught of typhoons cannot be avoided, having
strong structures ahead of time will provide a safe haven for those
continually traumatized by the harsh realities brought on by these
natural disasters. Moreover, the stability ensured by a fortified
settlement will also empower communities to uplift their quality of
life by finally having permanence in their living arrangements and a
sense of security as they live within the challenges of their
geography.
It is in this light that the competition calls for a masterplan and
design of an eco-agro-tourism development for a rural community in the
tropical hotspot of Camarines Sur Philippines. This site has
experienced the dramatic destruction caused by strong tropical
cyclones and yet continues to try to rise above it with progressive
projects that seek to alleviate the condition of its people. With the
help of the global architecture community it believes that it can be
an example of strength, resilience and innovative adaptability.
The top 3 winning designs will be awarded US $ 10,000, US $ 5,000 and
US $ 3,000 respectively. The 1st prize winning design will be built as
a prototype master planned community of 50 houses in Cam Sur . All
design entries will be compiled and published into an encyclopedia of
architecture and planning solutions for climate change
