NEB Prizes 2023: All Applications

"I am a young architect from the Czech Republic, I constantly deal with sustainable architecture. According to our society, I say stupid things." "A young family wants to live in a quality environment, who will suggest it?" "I'm a cafe owner, I want to support the circular economy, but I don't really know how?" So I decided as an architect to develop a unifying concept of a sustainable city with tips on how to do it. Handbook of Public Education. They are not orders, just advice. Try it.

In the mature forest, a clearing is made to set up a public station. In order to explore the lost uses of trees, barks, branches, fruits and leaves of the autumn pruning are processed into colors, fibers and flours. Those local semi-products prove that the rich and diverse forest can be exploited in a reasoned way.

Our platform aims to revolutionize the way NGOs, and students collaborate on youth projects. By providing a centralized hub for communication and collaboration, we aim to streamline the process of finding partners and volunteers for Erasmus+ projects. Currently, the calls for volunteers and partners are scattered across various Facebook groups, making it difficult to find the right opportunities and partners. With Further Together, we aim to make this process much easier.

Hempstatic creates new industrial symbioses based on a circular model nurturing the eco-driven growth of regional bio-based value chains.
We produce regenerative insulating elements from high-quality agricultural residues and establish an interlink between the farming and construction sectors.
Cities and rural regions benefit from increased resource efficiency through sustainable cultivation and production practices and the use of CO2 offset potentials.

The project aims to provide a possible answer to the issue of gentrification in the district of Gazi with a design proposal that is the the result of the investigation and understanding of the site. The intervention aims to maintain an original image of the urban block, characterized by a cluster of several buildings.

There are three main themes around which the project revolves: the concept of the common and local good, as a heritage to be preserved and regenerated; the role of technology as a tool for transformation and dialogue; and the more-than-human, understood as the set of natural and non-human ecologies with which we share the Planet and which should be included in the construction and design of more just, responsible and sustainable futures.

The bivouac is a very small anthropic point in the middle of the climbing route. The concept is to replace the old bivouac with a new model that responds to the relationship between nature and the Alps, architecture and the bivouac, and between the mountaineer and his steps, his journey and his search for balance. It envisages a volume composed of two prefabricated blocks to accommodate 11 people, its construction technology contributing to reduce its impact on natural sites and construction pol

The issue of pension security and well­being of the elderly population has become increasingly prominent, especially the sea workers. Problems such as a low sense of belonging to society at a young age, low happiness, single survival skills, difficulty in adapting to life on shore exist all over the world, and the pension problems of sea workers are still to be solved. I created a space for an elderly care complex on board, to solve the problems as following above.

Many cities are tiled in: grey through and through. But where there is grey, there is room for green! With our 100% biodegradable duckweed tiles, Flip the City gives everyone the chance to contribute to urban biodiversity. Flip the City's duckweed tiles are made from duckweed sourced from local waterways, a natural waste stream that can cause a lot of nuisance, especially in summer. With our tiles, we've developed a way to make a plug-'n-play tiles to create biodiversity in cities.

One of the challenges of 21st century Italy is an unprecedented number of immigrants resulting from globalization and geopolitical instabilities. The phenomenon is irreversible, and when it is combined with an aging population and a geographical marginality of the internal areas, a bottom-up reshaping of the structure is necessary. Resettlement spaces that are more resilient using infrastructure that is flexible and community spaces of inclusion aid in development of the territory in itself.
