Opportunity criteria
Opportunity description
The Metals in Construction magazine is offering Construction Design competition 2022. This year’s competition is based on the idea of a dynamic facade system that integrates critical building systems’ functionality, including lighting, ventilation, thermal, visual and acoustical comfort, and energy management.
Benefits
$15,000 Grand Prize
Eligibility criteria
- Submissions must satisfactorily depict the system of dynamic behavior and control for optimizing access to view, daylight, and natural ventilation while controlling glare, solar heat gain, and thermal and acoustical comfort.
- Submissions must satisfactorily represent the strategies for holistic building systems integration by the facade system, providing convincing, carbon-efficient, year-round control of the indoor environment.
- The submission must state the percentage of the year that the facade system will provide natural ventilation to the building.
- The challenge requires that the proposed concept results in a curtain wall system constructed of materials that contribute to a low-carbon solution while meeting the above requirements.
- Proposed solutions must demonstrate an attempt to anticipate and accommodate future conditions resulting from the climatic crisis and accelerating social change.
- Finally, all entries must be designed considering the key elements of safety, quality, cost, aesthetics, and constructability in New York City.
About the competition:
For its 2022 competition, the Metals in Construction magazine Design Challenge will generate ideas for an innovative kind of curtain wall enclosure that can act dynamically in response to a wide range of environmental conditions. The challenge’s $15,000 Grand Prize will be awarded to the design most innovative in its approach, and effective in its potential, for year-round control of indoor environmental conditions, enhanced resilience, constructability, and a near zero-carbon building perimeter.
