9Form Follows ClimateMy design uses three similarly shaped buildings graduated in height and differentiated by green play areas. A wooden wall serving as a physical barrier to the street clearly defines the buildings as one entity. The double pitched roof resembles a family home rendering the design welcoming towards children while making use of its climatic advantages.
12Editor's ChoiceREWA - THE MANIFESTATIONS IN TIMEA design proposed in the dispute zone of Nisarpur, Dhar dsitrict, Madhya Pradesh, India. For the villages battling against the construction of dams along the Narmada River. Evolved from the villagers of Nisarpur, are interventions that would uplift the village and sustain its old qualities in a new location.
3Honorable MentionNile plastics and earth pavilion The proposal is a structure that encourages transcending and reflecting. Emphasising on parameters such as time, place and identity. Encouraging to build in an ecological way by the use of local natural material but also by focusing on plastic waste and solutions of how we can clean up our rivers and oceans.
67Eco Chapel - LeafThe “Leaf” expresses a renewed conception of space, an incursion of nature into a strongly urbanized territory connected in actions and thoughts to nature. The design of a chapel and a forest in an eco perspective. A green avenue around which germinate buildings, evoking the forms of seeds and giving space to contemplation, prayer, leisure and laboratory.
4Koala HabitatThe koala habitat fixates on fostering an experience of clusters. Whilst the rehabilitation for Koala remains the integral focus of the scheme, the necessity to create a sustainable environment is crucial. The koala habitat then becomes a holistic enterprise accommodating ecological diversity, koala’s rehabilitation, and learning experience.
19The Eco-ChapelThe design of the Chapel in Ethiopia results of a study between space and light. The main idea is to create a passive experience with the landscape to the Chapel.
134Editor's ChoiceBeyond the treeThe project is intended as an architectural interpretation of the tree. A break out of time and moments disconnected from the urban frenzy are established through the work of three interiorities. The tree becomes a project vector, a tool for designing space, sculpting architecture, orienting the believer and sequencing the path of a new chapel.
14WinnerHealing FaçadeBased on the belief of forest churches in the chain of interdependence between humans and non-humans, the proposal is a feasible, modular and replicable facade to address the gap made by unsustainable human actions. Through fibers, the façade catches water from the wind to protect vegetation and foster conditions for reforestation and landscape restoration.

23Honorable MentionAFGHAN WIDOWS SUSTAINABLE VILLAGEConceptual design of a sustainable women’s village in Afghanistan. The project is an approach of creating a settlement for 100 widowed women and their children. The war widows lost their foregoing homes. Moreover, they have lost their identity and the children have no more possibility to get education. The concept project involved through a deep reserach.
11WinnerOverstoryTo build in Kayamandi - in a biosphere reserve with limited water resources - a winery of the future must foreground sensibility toward both nature and culture. “Overstory” investigates how the architecture of a roof canopy shared by building and nature can play an active role in mediating – and perhaps remediating – the native ecologies of this landscape.
