The Ecological Design Challenge is a call to action for designers, architects, engineers, and creative thinkers of all kinds to reimagine the role of site elements in shaping sustainable, resilient cities.

 

For 50 years, QCP has been a leader in precast concrete site furniture. Now, we are asking bigger questions:

- Can site elements do more than provide comfort and utility?

- Can they actively contribute to climate resilience?

- Can precast concrete, a material known for its strength and adaptability, become a medium for ecological innovation?

 

We invite participants to design a piece of furniture, an object, or a device that goes beyond conventional site furnishings. Your design should not only serve people—it should also contribute to environmental solutions. This challenge is about pushing boundaries and exploring new intersections between design, ecology, and material innovation.

 

Open to Landscape Architects, Architects, Industrial Designers, Engineers, and Designers of all kinds.

Both professionals and students are invited, with entries judged in separate categories.
