HØW: House of No Waste
Участникам предлагается предложить концепции жилых и общественных зданий (или их ключевых компонентов), демонстрирующие новые подходы к проектированию, строительству и эксплуатации. Особое внимание уделяется повторному использованию материалов, минимизации отходов и интеграции замкнутых циклов потребления ресурсов.
Конкурс рассматривается как платформа для обмена знаниями и поиска решений, которые могут стать ориентиром для «устойчивого» развития городской среды.

Launched by UNU-FLORES on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations University (UNU).
The House of No Waste Competition (HØW) calls upon aspiring young architects, landscape architects, building and structural engineers, planners, builders, material and environmental scientists, product designers, and built environment professionals to engage in a global competition that tackles pressing issues of the circular economy, Resource Nexus, and waste management in the built environment.
The goal of the HØW Competition is to generate creative, forward-thinking solutions that rethink how we design, construct, and manage buildings and cities with minimal negative environmental impact. Concepts should align with the HØW Criteria and focus on reducing waste, closing resource loops, and integrating innovative systems that support sustainability across all stages of a building’s lifecycle.
Participants are asked to submit a conceptual design proposal for an innovative building or infrastructure project – or a key component thereof – that should either be publicly funded, serve a public benefit and/or have a public function. Submissions can take the form of a building concept, an urban planning strategy, a building or material system, a construction technology or process, or a product relating to the built environment – serving public use; however, these examples are not exhaustive, and other relevant formats relating to the built environment are welcome.
The designs should embody the principles of resource circularity and minimal waste across all phases of the building lifecycle and align with the HØW Criteria – including concepts for reuse and repurpose of buildings and places. The HØW Criteria are:
1. Resource Circulation – Closing material loops:
Projects should demonstrate innovative strategies for closing the loop on waste, transforming waste streams into valuable resources throughout the building's lifecycle. This includes thoughtful material selection, reuse, and regeneration to minimise environmental impact.
2. Resilience – Designing for future climate and community needs
Projects should showcase flexibility and long-term viability, allowing buildings to adapt to changing needs, climates, and uses, and community needs over time. The design must enhance durability while remaining responsive to social and environmental shifts.
3. Regeneration – Enhancing ecosystems and surplus value
Projects should look beyond minimising harm and instead actively contribute to regenerative processes that restore ecosystems, enhance biodiversity, and create surplus value for future generations.
4. Revolution – Promoting innovative, scalable, and open-source thinking
Projects should demonstrate bold innovation and creative thinking, with strong potential for replication and global impact. Submissions should share ideas openly to encourage other projects to adopt new approaches, systems, or techniques that push the boundaries of circular and sustainable design.
5. Reimagine – Empowering inclusive and behavioural change
Projects should influence not just how buildings function, but how people live and interact within them. Designs must make sustainable living intuitive and inclusive, removing barriers to participation and fostering a broader cultural shift.
