The Competition, sponsored by the International Council for Caring Communities (ICCC), invites architecture students around the world to apply their creative talents toward developing solutions, which integrate older persons seamlessly into the fabric of the community and include them in all social, cultural, and productive activities.
Overall Purpose: Competition's interrelated long-term goals are:
- 1. To raise the awareness of architectural and design students to the needs of older persons;
- 2. To increase cross-cultural understanding;
- 3. To incorporate the growing role of ICT in communities;
- 4. To encourage a close connection between proposed solutions and the real world. Past competitions have influenced local planning, educational curricula, encouraged dialogue and established new mindsets; they all deal with inclusive communities, created through a combination of new construction, renovation, reuse and environmental intervention.
