USGBC 2010 Natural Talent Design Competition: Small, Green, Affordable

The Salvation Army and USGBC are teaming up to host a Natural Talent Design Competition that is tied in with a large-scale residential green building campaign that will affect five neighborhoods within New Orleans.

"This partnership challenges entrants to design homes that demonstrate both short-term and long-term affordability, a high quality of life for their residents, and replicable strategies that contribute to our understanding of how to build affordably, efficiently and with minimal impact on the environment."

The competition specifically focuses on the design of an affordable single-family home between 720 and 880 square feet of living space while also meeting the requirements of USGBC’s LEED for Homes Platinum-level certification!

As part of the Architecture for Humanity - noisedetroit Chapter, let's talk about how we can make a difference!
