Concrete Thinking for a Sustainable World Student Competition

The Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA) is pleased to announce the fourth annual CONCRETE THINKING FOR A SUSTAINABLE WORLD, International Student Design Competition. Administered by ACSA and sponsored by the Portland Cement Association (PCA) and the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association, the program is intended to challenge students, working individually or in teams, to investigate an innovative application of Portland cement-based materials to achieve sustainable design objectives.

The focus of this competition is to craft an investigation, identify a design improvement and create a solution containing concrete or any Portland cement-based application as a key building material. There are two separate categories, and awards are totaling nearly $50,000.

Entries must be uploaded through the ACSA Competition website by 5:00 pm, Eastern Time, on 3 June 2009. Visit the site to learn more.
