COMPETITIONS

Integrated Habitats Design Competition

Integrated habitat design ensures that development maintains the health of the natural systems that we all depend on ("Human needs and a healthy environment are not opposing claims that must be balanced; instead, they are inexorably linked by chains of cause and effect", Jared Diamond).

The focus of the competition is to ensure that working with nature, adapting to climate change and enhancing biodiversity is integral to the design of new urban, suburban and rural built developments. We hope that the IHDC will provide a forum for visionaries and innovators to design better, more sustainable habitats for all of us.

The competition is open to everyone. We hope to encourage a trans-disciplinary approach that cuts across the engineering, architecture, landscape, construction and ecological sectors.
