EARTH ARCHITECTURE DESIGN CHALLENGE
An Affordable Housing Prototype for Chad
I-DREAM (Inclusive Development Research Association for Mankind) was formally established and registered as a charitable non-governmental organization (NGO) in France in March 2014, and has been developing forums to promoting the exchange of know-how, resources and techniques of associated members and external partners. The aim of this association is to improve the quality of life and increase the economic independence of disadvantaged regional communities in the world by seeking appropriate technologies and developing effective sharing methods.
I-DREAM announces a call for entries for its 1st Earth Architecture Design Challenge 2017: Designing affordable housing prototypes for urban/suburban/rural Chad, an international architecture competition aimed at students, emerging architects and practitioners from around the world who think earth architecture can be beautiful. Be a part of this collaboration. Let’s create change for people in need. Join our team to help us create housing prototypes with community labor using appropriate building techniques and local methods of construction. You’ll gain hands-on experience in earth-hand-made-construction by using local and recycled materials and an in-depth understanding of the local culture.
