NEB Prizes 2022: All Applications

This project deals with the problems and difficulties mankind and society is increasingly facing due to climate change, especially the strains climate change puts on families and their economies. The proposal argues that buildings no longer exclusively belong to the demand side of the energy system, rather they have become a convenient way of generating energy. The project provides a solution on Zero Emission Building can be beneficial to the social aspects of living a sustainable life.

I hereby present to your next backpack. This backpack is built to bring you comfort through you whole day, independent of your hight, or physical capabilities. In addition, this backpack is meant to promote sustainable choices in your everyday life, such as buying a durable backpack made with locally sourced and biodegradable and recyclable materials.

The proposal formulates a design narrative where water is a key element for innovative scenarios that engage with our changing climate. As riverine and humid environments do not consist of permanent and fixed habitats to be defended at all costs, the project envisions new type of inhabitable landscape that accepts water fluctuations in lowlands and make this natural phenomenon a pretext to rethink how the southwest fringe of Niort relates with its outer landscape.

The Spreekreuz Inselpark  aims to recover Shorelines for social interaction in a sustainable and green environment. For this, 45 floating Platforms will use the river water as a basis for the growth of plants and trees in order create a habitat for insects, birds and animals. It will also give people a unique surrounding for communication and relaxation and reintroduce biodiversity to a dwindling ecosystem.

PlantekaKids is a project aimed to create a new eco-systemic relationship between humans and the environment. We look to achieve generational knowledge and consciousness changes through the sharing and teaching of sustainability and ecological practices to our youngest generations.

insight addresses the negative effects of the increasing consumption of social media. The purpose is to help users become aware of their behaviour on social networks, to show them alternatives and finally to support them in changing their behaviour in a sustainable way. Our strategy is to create awareness, support self-reflection and eventually encourage behavioural change.

Eocity brings populated areas and wind turbines together. All while preserving our countryside, it integrates into the urban and rural areas to provide a source of energy which is clean, aesthetic and affordable.

This project is a conduit for the democratisation of green energy production. It’s also perfect for companies as well as private individuals (well-off or not), both in megacities and isolated hamlets.

A sustainable solution to adapt public space to new needs through punctual and small scale interventions in order to demineralize, vegetalize and re-activate asphalted surfaces that are no longer needed as such.

The idea was born from a lack felt within the Art Academies of a place that acts as a catalyst and as an expressive tool. The question "What is our necessity?" has stimulated a reflection on how to make up for this lack, A Priori was our answer.
We want to establish a comparison between the research of the students; to create a cooperation network between distant Academies and cultural spaces; to establish a dialogue on topical issues between emerging artists and curators in these institutions.
