| an energy revolution - solutions for sustainable urban communities submissions are invited for an open design competition based on a 2.2 hectare brownfield site on the edge of manchester's city centre. the objective for competitors will be to design a mixed-use scheme which is sustainable in its use of energy, urban in character and which promotes co-operative lifestyles. organised by inreb [integration of new and renewable energy in buildings] and urbed [the urban & economic development group] with the support of cis [co-operative insurance society] the competition forms part of a programme of works designed to assist the construction industry in responding to the challenge of climate change. the main aim of the competition is to explore how the radical agenda set out by the latest government energy white paper 'our energy future - creating a low carbon economy' can be applied to mixed-use urban schemes. the competition seeks ideas only, but whilst the promoter gives no guarantee to build the winning design it is hoped that this competition will bring forward ideas that could be developed in the future. the site is owned by the cis and is adjacent to their head office. the society is looking for 'radical sustainability' solutions to the development of the site and wishes to promote co-operative values. the competition brief will invite entrants to respond to three themes: energy revolution - site-wide sustainable energy strategy new urbanism - mixed use development that is urban in character co-operative lifestyles - a co-operative approach to energy, transport and food. the site: the site is on the edge of ancoats and the northern quarter, in the north eastern edge of manchester city centre, within walking distance of all city centre amenities and with good transport links. the manchester plan [udp] lists the site as being for 'business or commercial development which will maximise employment'. however city planners have confirmed that they would give serious consideration to any proposed mixed-use development. entrants will need to develop a sustainable energy strategy for their scheme, coherently tackling generation, distribution, storage and efficiency. the strategy will need to address both thermal and electrical energy use. the scheme will need to be urban in character, celebrating the vibrancy of the city. competitors should also explore how the co-operative delivery of energy, transport and food could make sustainable lifestyles more practical and convenient. eligibility: the competition is open to architects and students of architecture throughout the world. integrated multi-disciplinary teams are encouraged to enter. jury panel: the jury panel for this competition will be as follows: paul evans director, inreb martin cook bre whole life construction & conservation diane diacon bshf [building social housing foundation] nick dodd urbed [the urban & economic development group] bill gething fielden clegg bradley sarah greenwood technology translator, inreb greg hardie arup neil hewitt academic, inreb philip jones welsh school of architecture peter rickaby rickaby thompson associates philip sellwood chief executive, est [energy saving trust] koen steemers the martin centre, cambridge university gary thomas cis [co-operative insurance society] paul vaughan amec david vincent the carbon trust tible: brief available: from 1st september submission deadline: 16th january prize money: 1st prize - £10,000 2nd prize - £5,000 3rd prize and/or commended - £2,500 to be distributed accordingly student awards 1st prize - £1,500 2nd prize - £1,000 3rd prize and/or commended - £500 to be distributed accordingly registration: to register and receive the competition brief there is a registration fee of £35.00. there is a reduced fee of £7.50 for students. registration fees are inclusive of vat. vat receipts are available on request. cheques coming from foreign countries must be drawn on an english named bank. enquiries: registrations must be addressed to riba competitions office, 6 melbourne street, leeds, ls2 7ps. t: 0113 234 1335. f: 0113 246 0744. e: [email protected]. w: http://www.inreb.org |
