EDAW Student Competition

Who

The competition is open to undergraduate and graduate students at all levels of higher education in all countries of the world. Entrants must be enrolled in a certified programme at the time of registration. Submissions may be from individuals or teams of up to 4 members, and should reflect the multi-disciplinary issues identified in the brief.

What

EDAW AECOM is seeking submissions for its first sponsored competition, the EDAW Student Competition (ESC), in order to look at the range of interventions required to stabilise these challenged urban communities in an increasingly unstable and uncertain environment.

What are the pressures/problems facing a specific urban site? How are these affected by global climate and sustainability issues?

What are the creative solutions to address these problems, which may include greater public regulation, stimulating private investment, community-based action or voluntary sector initiatives?
