Rethink Light. Redesign Comfort.
The goal is to design a perforation pattern that transforms how natural light enters indoor spaces, blending art, comfort, and sustainability. Your idea could change users feel and interact with spaces such as classrooms, hospitals, offices, or homes.
We’re not looking for a technical marvel. Just visualize your modular idea clearly, through sketches, renders, diagrams, or any creative format.
Objectives:
- Involve students in the future of building envelope design
- Inspire beautiful, functional, and sustainable shading concepts
- Use visuals to inspire and communicate ideas
- Offer cash prizes, public exposure, and industry opportunities
Your design should:
- Shape light in a meaningful and creative way
- Promote comfort, focus, or relaxation indoors
- Be usable in real spaces (schools, hospitals, offices, homes)
