The International Building Design Competition 2019 is held in conjunction with International Built Environment Week (IBEW) 2019. The theme for this year’s competition, ‘Touching Our Earth Lightly’ is by designing a group of sustainable buildings in a natural environment. This competition invites students to submit design solutions for a sustainable mixed-use building in a natural environment of Coney Island by involving all disciplines into a coherent whole. It is this coherent whole that we hope to see from the competitors, as they use contemporary design techniques for collaborating and developing an integrated design approach to come up with a co-working office building in the natural environment of Coney Island.

 

To take part in the competition, form a team of 3-8 members, with minimum of 3 disciplines of Architecture, Engineering and Construction.

Members must be full-time students at the point of registration (proof of student status is required).

Winning teams stand to win these attractive prizes:

2nd Prize : S$7,000  
3rd Prize  : S$5,000
Merit Prizes (5) : S$1,000 each

Themed “Build Green: The Next Decade”, IGBC 2016 signifies new hopes, aspirations for the green building journey in the next decade, albeit mitigating climate change.

The historic Paris landmark agreement signed by 195 nations at COP 21 on 12 Dec 2015 marked a defining point in our era towards taking action on climate change mitigation, collectively committing to a common goal of limiting global warming to below 2 degrees Celsius.

Singapore will continue to play her part in the global community, by pledging to reduce emission intensity by 36% from 2005 levels, by 2030, and to stabilise emissions with the aim of peaking around 2030. Climate change mitigation and environmental sustainability have become imperative for all stakeholders to grapple with for survival. We would need to invest more time and resources to mitigate and adapt to climate change before it is too late. Translating key policies into action will be crucial for the next decade and beyond.
