In this challenge, participants are asked to engage with the human scale and in particular reimagine a new typology of housing. This competition is a re-contextualization of the experiments which were pioneered by creative visionaries of the mid-20th century in California, outcomes of which have become known as the 'Case Study Houses'. In addition to seeking out contemporary strategies of building homes through modern or innovative technologies and materials, we ask participants to develop designs which in themselves are embedded within the landscapes and wildlife which they occupy.
