Engineers, Architects, Environmentalists, Builders, Relief Workers, etc are encouraged to submit their innovative design and / or construction ideas for low cost housing in developing countries. Your submission should address issues such as sustainable technology, environmental awareness, improved health and living conditions, whilst also being mindful of costs: by driving down costs, more houses can be built and thus more people helped.
