GIMME SHELTER

The Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education‘s Environmental Art Program presents a Request for Proposals for a competition in sustainable design and building on a small scale.

Artists, designers, architects, and students are invited to design and build semi-permanent, functional woodland shelters on the grounds of Philadelphia’s Schuylkill Center, using sustainable design and building techniques.

The competition aims to encourage collaboration between artists, designers and architects, to demonstrate and promote sustainable building methods, and to present the visiting public with a physical experience of the applied possibilities of sustainability to our lives and in our connection to the natural world.
