The Competition, sponsored by the International Council for Caring Communities (ICCC), invites architecture students around the world to apply their creative talents in developing solutions, which integrate older persons into the fabric of the community and fully 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.
Eligibility Undergraduate and graduate students of architecture are eligible to submit proj- ects. All submissions must be the work of an individual or team of students. An affidavit of authorship is a mandatory component of submissions.
