CONTEST RULES FOR STUDENTS AND RECENT GRADUATES

II International Contest “inHAUS LAB – Design your modular house” for students and new graduates

Following on from the work started in 2017 with the I International Competition “inHAUS LAB – Design your modular house”, Casas inHAUS launches this second edition where we would like to repeat the great reception that the last edition received , and increase the monetary value of the prizes. The Competition “inHAUS LAB – Design your modular house” is an initiative of Casas inHAUS that was created with the intention of promoting creativity and innovation in Architecture. It aims to promote new ways of doing architecture among students and recent graduates from all architecture colleges and other related disciplines, rewarding those who stand out for their creativity in the search for new modular housing solutions.

Casas inHAUS stands for two fundamental principles for professional practice within the current context: creativity and innovation. It is always linked to a high constructive quality, the optimization of techniques and the improvement of peoples living space.

The aim is to promote the use of new technologies and the industrialization of the sector without losing the essence of the idea learned in the classroom: “the house must be a reflection of the person who lives in it’.

As a novelty, this year, leading companies in their respective sectors, who are going to collaborate with us to manufacture our homes,and act as sponsors of the competition are: : Nuovvo, Jung, Perfil 10, Renova 10 and Finsa.

Object of the Competition

The purpose of the competition  proposed by Casas inHAUS is to design  modular concrete housing that complies with the specifications set, and the technical and formal response to the requirements specified in the rules

The selection of the best architectural solutions by the jury, will become part of the inHAUS 2017 Catalogue and will be manufactured as many times as the clients demand, including the winners and their corresponding design Royalties. Here you can see the winning project from last year that we included in our catalogue.

The proposal aims to be an incentive for the youngest; helping them to start their professional journey, introducing new construction techniques, fostering creativity to achieve more with less and promoting the industrialized modular architecture as an optimal option for both quality and design.

In short, an open reflection on the real roads of the architectural world. The bridge between the world of study and work … Are you ready to begin?
