Housing For Tomorrow

This document describes the D3 Housing Tomorrow competition which challenges architects and designers to explore innovative approaches to residential design from urban to individual scales. The competition calls for designs that advance sustainability, performance, and social interaction through consideration of environmental, social, and programmatic factors. Submissions should foster inventive living solutions for the future while being environmentally responsible and technologically feasible, even if suggesting fantastical visions. Proposals can range from master plans to interior concepts and should address their selected context.

Description – Housing for tomorrow

Exploration of contextual, cultural, and life cycle flows offers a critical lens for visualizing new
housing strategies for living in the future. The d3 Housing Tomorrow competition invites
architects, designers, engineers, and students to collectively explore, document, analyze,
transform, and deploy innovative approaches to residential urbanism, architecture, interiors,
and designed objects.

The competition calls for transformative solutions that advance sustainable thought, building
performance, and social interaction through study of intrinsic environmental geometries, social
behaviors, urban implications, and programmatic flows. Special emphasis may be placed on
housing concepts that investigate dialogues including engagement of internal/external socio-
economic diversity, change/adaptability over time, public/private spatial connectivity, and
permanence/impermanence of materials.

d3 challenges participants to rethink strategies for investigating residential design from macro-
to-micro scales ranging from urban—promoting broader physical interconnectivity;
communal—exploiting an interaction of units with shared facilities; and internal—examining
the interior particularity of the unit, individual, or family in housing design toward promoting
identity, ownership, and intimacy. An architecture of emergence suggests that design
expression requires purpose beyond formal assumption and aesthetic experimentation itself.

Concurrent with sustainable thought, the d3 Housing Tomorrow competition assumes that
architecture does not simply form, but rather perform various functions beyond those
conventionally associated with residential buildings. Accordingly, design submissions must be
environmentally responsible while fostering inventive conceptual living solutions for today and
tomorrow. Although proposals should be technologically feasible, they may suggest fantastical
architectural visions of a sustainable residential future. The d3 Housing Tomorrow competition
allows designers freedom to approach their creative process in a scale-appropriate manner,
from large-scale master planning endeavors, to individual building concepts, to notions of the
interior realm. Although there are no restrictions on site, scale, program, or residential building
typology, proposals should carefully address their selected context.
