Building Trust International have just announced their 6th international design competition – Cool School – which seeks to find an innovative school design proposal that can withstand the extreme Mongolian winters. The competition challenges architects, designers and engineers to provide a design solution which has the chance to shape the future of school buildings across cold regions globally. How do you get to school if it’s minus 45 °C outside? How do you gain an education when your nearest school is 20 km away? Building Trust are asking you to help them design a “Cool School” for a community in Mongolia. Environmental conditions, materials, space, comfort, accessibility, adaptability and aesthetics should be considered.
