When it comes to the climate crisis, buildings have been a problem. According to Architecture 2030, nearly half of US CO2 emissions comes from buildings, mostly to heat, cool, and power them. But today we have the science, materials, and components to make buildings that can generate more energy than they consume. Buildings can be part of the solution.
Now in its third year, the perFORM 2016 competition challenges architectural students and interns to explore the nexus between high design and high performance building. Hammer & Hand, a builder that partners with architecture firms on every project it builds, launched the competition to help advance the energy performance training of emerging design professionals and to demonstrate that performance and design can be inherently complementary.
This year’s competition calls for architectural students (at NAAB or CACB accredited schools) and interns in the US and Canada to design a net zero energy, mixed-use, multifamily building in Seattle. Group and individual entries will be judged based on the criteria of resourcefulness, replicability, and beauty. Adaptability (future proofing) and the project’s triple bottom line will also be considered. The perFORM jury will distribute $6,000 in cash awards, and award winners will receive publication online and in print, as well as public display of their boards in Seattle and Portland.
Registration for both individuals and teams is now open. Entry submissions are due by Friday, June 17, 2016 at 5:00 pm (Pacific Time).
