Haiti Ideas Challenge

Apparently I'm on a competition-finding roll today.

Competition Objective (as copied from the challenge program):

The competition’s objective is to envision an imaginative, sustainable, viable future in an area destroyed by the recent earthquake. Submission ideas can focus on a range of scales, such as innovative material use, sustainable construction, individual structures, infrastructure, neighborhood design, and urban redevelopment.

This kind of reminds me of the concrete block project some folks did in 4th year, mashed with our class-wide competition for housing in various afflicted countries around the globe - 3rd year maybe?

Visit the competition's website here.

Although there is no "registration fee," there is a mandatory $50 donation made at submission time (of which $25 goes to the rebuilding efforts in Haiti).
