The competition was conducted in collaboration with the National Building Museum (NBM) in Washington, D.C., whose current exhibition of the same name (on display through October) features examples and analysis of 14 green communities located throughout the world. Taking its cue from the exhibition, the competition’s call for entries asked students to reimagine a specific area in their towns, considering issues such as reuse, remediation, conservation, sanitation, and water management, among other elements in contemporary sustainable planning.
The entries submitted represented 1,322 students and 200 faculty members from 76 universities. U.S. teams won the first, second, and third place awards. The jury also named two honorable mentions and nine citations.
