BRIEF
The Environmental Architecture and Urbanism Research Center at Ain Shams University is pleased to announce the international design competition for all professional practitioners of Architecture and senior students to design a “Typical Zero-Energy Residential Unit” to help in improving the sustainable development within the building sector in Egypt.

This competition is intended to envision a residential unit informed by context, culture, and vernacular, but fully embracing technology and ideas of domesticity. It challenges participants to improve the sustainability of the communities in which it works by supporting the development and delivery of innovative, sustainable residential building solutions.
