The Saint-Gobain company informs that as a result of the high interest in the Design of a Multi-Comfort House 2017 competition from potential participants, the deadline for accepting works has been extended until March 1, 2017.
The national stage started on October 1, 2016, and for several months the organizers and partners of the competition conducted a series of webinars, during which students and teachers of architecture and construction universities had an exclusive opportunity to ask questions of interest to them. Video recordings are available on the official website of the competition especially for those who were unable to take part in online events.
Every year the competition becomes more and more in demand and popular: the Green Building Council, GRAPHISOFT, representing the ARCHICAD brand, and Bosch Thermotekhnika, representing the Buderus brand, have become the official partners of the Russian stage.
Natalia Chupyra, Head of Energy Efficiency at Saint-Gobain, noted: “Large-scale informational and partner support of the competition, fruitful cooperation with students and universities, as well as an interesting creative task allowed us to expand the boundaries of the competition: more than 350 students registered to participate in the project from 36 universities, and according to numerous requests, we decided to extend the deadline for submitting competitive works. This interest allows us to conclude that we are moving in the right direction, and energy efficiency, environmental friendliness and comfort are becoming increasingly important for the progressive development of the construction industry in Russia."
Recall that the task for the international competition "Designing a Multi-Comfort House-2017" was developed by ISOVER in cooperation with the Department of Architecture of the Municipality of Madrid: students need to prepare a project to restore the urban environment of the neighborhood.
Participants in the national and international finals will receive monetary awards and special prizes from the partners of the competition, as well as invaluable experience from interacting with world-class professionals.
