WARMING calls on students and professionals from the fields of architecture, planning, and design to submit projects that respond to our changing climate and the environment. WARMING competition participants are asked to propose new or adapted architecture that addresses issues of global warming.

​Participants are free to experiment and explore the subject – designs can be of any program, any scale, and on any site. Architecture may be building types such as homes, parks, skyscrapers, stadiums, schools, museums, libraries, transportation, multifamily housing, and more.

​Participants may propose architecture that prevents the rise of global warming or architecture that reacts to the changing world we will inhabit. Participants may also take a combined approach.

​PREVENT – designs can address issues such as renewable energy, recycling, sustainable farming, sustainable materials, passive design, or many others.

REACT – designs can address issues such as sea level rise, droughts, wilderness fires, severe weather, habitat destruction, or many others.
