Housing competition time.

There are two months left to register expressions of interest in one of the larger global architectural competitions of recent years, organised by Living Steel, a consortium of steel-makers from across the globe. The competition, which was announced at the UIA Congress in Istanbul earlier this year, is to design high-quality, affordable housing using steel, in the first instance for sites in Poland and India. Other sites in other countries will later be chosen as part of a five-year programme. From the expressions of interest list, Living Steel, which intends to build on the chosen sites, will invite up to a dozen firms to take part in the (paid) design stage of the competition. Judges include Glenn Murcutt and Charles Correa. For further details visit www.livingsteel.org, or email [e-mail]
