This is the third year that Living Steel has been organizing this competition. Last year has yielded very interesting entries and we hope that this year's crop will be equally as interesting as their predecessors.

The organizer is calling this year for the ingeneous creation of  affordable, energy efficient housing that minimizes climate change emissions and withstands extremes weather conditions.

As explained on the organizer's web site:

"Judged by some of the leading architects around the world, total prizes and honoraria is €100,000, with the winning design being awarded €50,000. The winning architects will have the opportunity to utilize the exceptional qualities of steel to construct their design in Cherepovets, Russian Federation, known for its extreme temperature ranges.

This competition is the chance for you to be a positive force in the growing global need for low cost, environmentally responsible housing.

The International Architecture Competition. Imagine your extreme ideas making an extreme impact for our world and for the people that will call your vision “home”. "
