GO BEYOND: TODAY

The GO BEYOND: Design Challenge is an international Design + Engineering competition for architects, engineers, designers, inventors and innovators with the burning desire to go beyond the present and create new-to-the-world solutions that will pave the way for a better way of doing things in the future.

An opportunity to go beyond the status quo is first identified.

A challenge is then offered to the world. Architects, designers, engineers, inventors and innovators will form teams and submit their proposals. One winning team will progress to the next stage where a full scale, working prototype will be constructed.

THE 2016 CHALLENGE

The Opportunity

Every year, about 2 million shipping containers are no longer used. What if these could be upcycled into sustainable architecture to reduce the total carbon footprint of global development?

The Challenge

GO BEYOND: shipping containers by upcycling them into modular habitats.
