Clean Air - SBE16 SEOUL International Ideas Competition
Конкурс посвящен проблеме загрязненности воздуха в крупных и густонаселенных городах, таких как Сеул. Экологическая обстановка в южнокорейской столице вызывает беспокойство ее жителей в связи с возможным риском для их здоровья. Задача участников состязания – предложить идеи по очистке воздуха при помощи архитектуры; ответить на вопрос, можно ли спроектировать здания, которые частично возьмут на себя решение этой проблемы.

One can never emphasize too much the importance of air. Recently, Seoul and its vicinity and provincial areas has been plagued by air pollution, specifically fine dust and ultrafine particles, where the nation's permissible levels are double those the World Health Organization recommends. The latest air pollution crisis in Korea is putting people at unease due to health risks. Aside from the government addressing the issue with appropriate countermeasures, could architects design buildings which can clean air?
The main goal of the international competition, sponsored by Sustainable Building Technology & Urban Development, is to solicit new innovative architectural and urbanistic ideas dealing with air pollution and ways of cleaning air. The competition expects to generate thoughtful and provocative ideas for a densely populated city like Seoul, which underwent rapid population growth and increasing urbanization. A design challenge for the competition is to propose a sustainable design solution, ranging from urban to architectural scale. The ideal proposals shall address and challenge key concepts regarding air pollution, environmental sustainability, and technical challenges.
