-The Brihan Mumbai Centre of the Indian Institute of Architects.
-The Forum of Colleges of Architecture, University of Mumbai.
-The Commonwealth Association of Architects is expected to endorse the competition.

Theme:
In the wake of globalization and liberalization of world economic order, The cities are undergoing a rapid transformation. While the urban growth continues guided by policies and programmes of urban development, there are vast areas, which have become economically and socially depressed, with dilapidated stock of housing and work places and environmentally degraded.

It is the purpose of the second IAHH International Student Design Competition to investigate into this issue of urban decay and degradation in order to evolve a more enlightened approach to planning, design and management of revitalization, restructuring, redesign, conservation and redevelopment of such urban areas. This will facilitate regeneration of depressed urban communities.

The student competitors are required to identify such an area in a city / town / metropolis in their own country or in any other country anywhere in the world. The community may be about 1500 to 3000 people, with jobs for 500 or more people. The urban area may admeasure about 10 hectare or so. The student participants shall survey and study the area in depth to understand the complexity of issues involved and plan and design for its revitalization and renewal.

The design requires planning and design for an urban community of 500 to 1000 units of dwelling and about 500 or more jobs in different establishment suited to the location and context. The housing typology and nature of work places may vary as per the social, cultural, economic and environmental context. The area and type of housing
units and work places shall depend on the existing and proposed demand for housing and working in the area.

The proposed plans and designs shall aim to evolve a more HUMANE community through SUSTAINABLE and AFFORDABLE development strategy, APPROPRIATE construction and technology, INNOVATIVE planning, architectural and environmental design. These shall be the main criteria for evaluation of the projects.

The project proposal should not just be an isolated community, but a key component of the city fabric and it should support elements of the city system, by perhaps becoming an "SUSTAINABLE URBAN COMMUNITY" with a neighborhood shopping core, walkable mixed use high-density housing, connecting to either an express bus or light rail corridor.

The teams should show the connections with the city, as well as their component, community design. The component design should also be a "connector" to the larger city and that implies a "NODE" which is a place of modal split between say express buses and pedestrians and cycles. The community should have high enough densities to be EFFICIENT. There should be a hierarchy of spaces engendering CONVIVIALITY. Diagrams will show REGIONAL INTEGRATION.

Submission Requirements:
The design submission shall be presented on 6 A1 drawings / 3 A0 drawings preferably mounted on foam-board which shall include:

1. 2 A1 panels for contextual, social, economic and environmental analysis, site analysis of the existing urban area admeasuring about 10 hectare showing its location in urban context along with photographs.

2. One A1 panel for proposed area development to the scale of 1:500/ 1:1000 for a community of about 1500 to 3000 people or more.

3. Three A1 panels for innovative designs for housing, work places and
related shopping and supporting social, educational, health-care and recreational facilities to a scale of 1:100 / 1:200

4. A brief report identifying the context, analysis, concept, planning and design approach of the proposal on not more than 10 A4 sheets in Arial 10 font size with illustrations and photographs.

5. The participants may send CDs containing the drawing and report for publication purposes. These CDs may be used by the Jury for consideration of the Awards. However, the drawings must be submitted. It may be noted that CDs alone will not be accepted.
