| 2010 Building for Life Awards |
|
Entries are open for the Building for Life awards which each year celebrate the best new homes and neighbourhoods in England.
The 2009 awards showed that around the
country housebuilders are getting to grips with design and creating the
kind of places where people want to live.
Two of last year's winners received the
highest scores given to new housing developments since the Building for
Life initiative began in 2002. Lime Tree Square in Street, Somerset, a
development of 138 homes, redefines the idea of the square and the
street to create a distinct sense of community.
And at Cross Street South in
Wolverhampton, a development of 30 affordable homes proves that a
run-down urban environment does not need to stifle style and ambition.
Wayne Hemingway, chair of Building for
Life, said that it was pushing developers, architects and planners to
think much harder about what makes a good home, about what people want,
wherever they are.

| 2011 Skyscraper Competition |
|
eVolo is pleased to invite students, architects, engineers, and designers from around the globe to take part in the 2011 Skyscraper Competition.
The annual eVolo Skyscraper Competition is a forum for the discussion, development, and promotion of innovative concepts for vertical density. It examines the relationship between the skyscraper and the natural world, the skyscraper and the community, and the skyscraper and the city.
The exponential increase of the world’s population and its unprecedented shift from rural to urban areas has prompted hundreds of new developments without adequate urban planning and poor architectural design. The aim of this competition is to redefine what we understand as a skyscraper and initiate a new architectural discourse of economic, environmental, intellectual, and perceptual responsibility that could ultimately modify our cities and improve our way of life.

| 2011 Mock Firms International Skyscraper Challenge |

"Architecture that Works" is the theme of 2011 Mock Firms International Skyscraper Challenge which seeks to focus student-design groups on issues involving improving the urban work environment through innovative uses of space, structure and sociology. The desired outcome is the creation of "hyper-vertical communities of commerce" which inspires in form and "works" in function for both internal and external people populations. Just in its 3rd year, the Chicago-based Mock Firms Architectural Competition is already highly regarded on the landscape of student-based design competitions. The unique mock firms model aims to help facilitate the formation and function of simulated architectural design firms by collegiate and secondary school students. This year's challenge is for student-firms to conceive, coordinate, construct and even commercialize a tall building project for Stockholm, Sweden which will be interactively judged by top industry professionals against a field of their peers.
Registration Deadline is January 15, 2011.
Submission Deadline is April 22, 2011.
