YP Design Challenge to be Launched on June 06 at ISO Complex
TAO-Pilipinas is pleased to inform you that we are about to launch the YP Design Challenge, a design ideas competition for young professionals and students that aims to generate ideas and design solutions for sustainable community development in urban poor settlements.
The YP Design Challenge is comprised of three design challenges, working around themes of sustainable community development. Each category has its own set of competition guidelines, judging criteria and prizes. Participants may choose to join in any or all of the following design challenge categories:
Design Challenge 1: Sustainable Shelter
Design Challenge 2: Trash Transformation
Design Challenge 3: Portable Playground
For our partners in the academe, we’re encouraging architecture/id, planning and engineering schools in Metro Manila to consider the design challenges in this competition as student design plate/project requirements for a semester. We see this competition as a vehicle for the students to directly deal with sustainability issues in their academic design assignments and offers design educators an opportunity to orient and guide the students on important ideas on sustainability in their design studios.
We’d like to invite you to the YP Design Challenge Launch on June 06, 2008 (Friday) at ISO-Ateneo (1:30pm). During the launch we shall be introducing the competition rules and guidelines as well as its website, www.ypdesignchallenge.tao-pilipinas.org. (This website can already be accessed for more information about the competition.)
We hope to see you at the project launch. Thank you very much for your continued support.
