Saint-Gobain Architecture Student Contest 2024 , Helsinki / Finnland

 

The Architecture Student Contest is an international competition based on Saint-Gobain’s vision of sustainable buildings . It was first organized in 2004 by Saint-Gobain Isover in Serbia, and became an international event in 2005. Today, it attracts more than 1,300 students in 30 countries.

 

The competition is a great chance for architecture students to gain professional experience while discovering the importance of sustainability in modern construction. The success of your project will depend on the ways in which it enhances the health and wellbeing of your building’s occupants while reducing the use of carbon, energy and resources.

 

Every year Saint-Gobain selects a country with an architectural challenge and works very close with the local municipality to develop a task that will address real social and cultural issues. Students from different universities all around the world are bringing up their best ideas to compete and win one of the prizes of this international contest.

 

We believe buildings can and should deliver both improved performance and sustainability. We care about maximizing health and wellbeing for everyone, everywhere – while minimizing impact on the environment over a building’s lifespan.

 

Universities are preparing future generations, and students are already building the future. Together we can build it better. 

 

The objective of the Architecture Student Contest is to develop a project based on sustainability, both for people and the planet. The buildings will be highly energy-efficient, low-carbon, and provide a comfortable environment for their occupants, in order to create better living, working and leisure spaces everywhere.
