Concorso di architettura aperto a tutti: KHARKIV HOUSING CHALLENGE

Norman Foster Foundation

KHARKIV HOUSING CHALLENGE

Upgrading concrete panel housing and residential neighbourhoods in Ukraine's second largest city

REGISTRATION DEADLINE: 12 September 2024

The competition seeks solutions that bridge the gap between innovative design and practical application. The task is to develop a modular system capable of retrofitting existing concrete panel housing blocks and enhancing public spaces, focusing on creating safe, energy-efficient, and vibrant neighbourhoods. Modular facade and roof components, bomb shelters, and integrating additional uses in ground floors should be considered as part of the intervention. The system should also provide solutions to re- erect severely damaged buildings with a renewed, yet locally rooted, architectural identity.

The competition is open to everyone, and all communication, including presentations, must be conducted in English.
