This award is open to small teams of students currently enrolled in a tertiary institution to develop and present a conceptual design that embodies the principles of lightweight structures, emphasizes sustainability, and the need to address social and climate change issues. This year's event raises awareness of the “epidemic of boringness” to quote Thomas Heatherwick. How might we create more liveable cities and create buildings that we are inspired to look after?
