Inside Out spaces for a better human interaction with nature. Poster

Cardiff University, AlMaksed and BioArchitecture Foundation are pleased to announce the launch of an architectural contest, under the theme of Self-Sufficient Space; An Inside Out Gateway to a Sustained Human Interaction System

The aim of the competition is to promote research through which to generate provocative visions, insightful ideas and futuristic proposals that help us envisage how a single space can effectively embrace the idea of "inside-out connectivity between the ecological system of nature and the comfort zone of mankind". The founding concepts of Inside-Out and Outside-In are to be combined in a submitted variety of well presented outcomes of unique projects in graphical illustrations and written formats, involving participants from architectural schools across the world.
