In the Pursuit of Housing, a BSA design competition co-sponsored by Architectural Record, invites young professionals and students to think critically about the housing issues facing their generation by designing housing that they themselves could afford.

Developed in 2005, the biennial competition gathers and displays a wide range of housing designs for urban, suburban and rural communities—with an emphasis on socially progressive and sustainable designs for multi-unit and single-family dwellings that can serve as prototypes. Winning proposals are exhibited at Residential Design and Construction, the BSA’s April convention and tradeshow.

Undergraduate and graduate students currently in architecture school anywhere in the world and individuals who have earned their architecture degrees within the last five years (after 2003) are invited to enter the competition. Entries are due March 3; find a detailed call for entries at http://www.architects.org/awards.
