DESIGNING FOR THE ARTS
3rd Earth Architecture Competition
Nka Foundation is issuing a challenge to recent graduates and students of architecture, design, engineering and others from around the world to use their creativity to come up with innovative designs for modest, affordable housing for the arts that can be built with earth and other local materials in Ghana. The challenge is to design a house type of about 2400 sq feet to be built on a plot size of 80 x 100 feet. Total costs of constructing the design entry must not exceed $7,000 (USD) for materials and labor; land value is excluded from this price point. The building should be designed for either musicians, theatre artists, potters, sculptors, painters, textile artists, designers, writers, or media arts practitioners. The construction site will be Abetenim Arts Village, near Kumasi in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. Registration and submission of entries runs from August 1 to October 30, 2015. The registration fee per entry is $60 for individual and $80 for a team. Here is where to register: https://eventbrite.com/event/16829232688 and submit your design entry via [email protected]
