Facing the Floods- Humanitarian Design

We will have all seen and heard much about the extensive flooding recently, from Australia to Sri Lanka, and right the way across in Brazil. In the face of such chaos and disaster it is striking how this has effected first-hand people of many different cultures and classes.

We are asking you to design for flood victims. We want you to explore what you think is necessary in these chaotic situations and what you would like to implement to improve people’s living. This could be in terms of safe shelter, protecting belongings, temporary infrastructure, saving buildings, access and transport, or any aspect which you think is important! The main focus is on providing a quick response, your design or strategy should be something that can be implemented swiftly after flooding strikes.

ENTRY FORMAT This is a concept competition- we are asking for just ONE image (ideally A3 sized) which explains your idea, with minimal written explanation.

ENTRY FEE & PRIZE The entry fee is £3, and the prize is half of all the entry money. The other half goes straight to a humanitarian building project in Delhi, India. For the full brief and details, visit our website- http://tesseractcompetitions.com/current/
