It's a great event, it's international, it's coming to France, and that's great news!
It is… the Architecture Student Contest which, as its name suggests, rewards the work of students in architecture, but also design and construction engineering.
This Saint-Gobain initiative has been running for 20 years, but has never before physically been held in France. That will finally happen in 2025.
It's a competition with a strong territorial dimension: for the first time, students are not invited to work on a major city, but on two different sites in Nord-Isère, under real-life conditions.
This multi-faceted region, at the crossroads of major French cities and at the heart of Europe, is ideally suited to inspire the candidates, who will be working on one new construction and one renovation project.
At the heart of the competition is, of course, the energy performance and environmental impact of the proposed projects: 50% of the rating is based on the architecture itself, and 50% on sustainable construction.
The competition is open to all students in the mentioned-above disciplines, anywhere in the world, whatever their year of study, either individually or in teams of 2 or 3.
Spread the word, we'll be delighted to welcome them. They will help us make the world a better home!
