Участникам нужно предложить идеи по созданию общинного дома на озере Миватн в Исландии, который станет основным местом для торговли, обмена и переработки ресурсов – наглядным образцом экономики замкнутого цикла. Проекты должны быть реализуемыми, так как лучшие идеи получат шанс на воплощение.

The idea that Banja Luka should receive a quality and functional design which will articulate the existing undeveloped area in the immediate vicinity of the center of the city into a new city park proportionate to the size of the city, City of Banja Luka announce INTERNATIONAL OPEN PUBLIC COMPETITION FOR THE CONCEPTUAL LANDSCAPE URBAN-ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN OF A PARK ALONG THE BOULEVARD OF SERBIAN ARMY IN BANJA LUKA.
Two Iceland municipalities, Skútustaðahreppur and Þingeyjarsveit, are making plans to merge into the largest municipality in the country. The new region would cover roughly 12,000 square kilometres and be home to over 1,200 people. This new region in northern Iceland is looking to set an example to the rest of the country, and the world, in terms of its sustainability. As such it will be looking to operate a circular economy.
A circular economy is focused on sharing, lending, and reusing materials, products, and resources as much as possible. Unlike traditional linear economic models which have often been labelled as “take, make, waste”, a circular economy operates with as much waste materials and energy being used in other areas as possible. This is especially important, as the municipality has large fields of eroded land that needs to be restored with the use of fertilizer, lupina plants, and tree planting.
The Iceland Lake Mývatn Community House competition is run in partnership with Sveinn Margeirsson, mayor of Skútustaðahreppur. Participants are asked to submit designs for a community house that would serve as a prime example of the positive impact of a circular economy in the region and across Iceland. The community house would therefore be the region’s main location for trading, sharing, and recycling materials and resources in order to exemplify how a circular economy operates.
Participants are asked to focus their designs around the concept of circular economy – sustainability and the reuse of materials should be at the core of submitted project designs. The community house will be a resource for both locals and tourists, providing everything from education to storage and lending of materials and equipment.
As the Skútustaðahreppur council is planning the construction of this building, winning projects will need to be unique, creative, and practical, while fully embracing the ethos of a circular economy.
