PROJECT AWARDS
Competition for students working with design, construction, architecture, innovation, sustainability and engineering - working with plastics.
The Danish Plastics Federation (Plastindustrien) invites students working on the Planetary Plastic Pavilion innovation challenges to participate in PROJECT AWARDS 2023.
Work with the Planetary Plastic Pavilion innovation challenges
A number of companies in the Planetary Plastic Pavilion project have identified 10 innovation challenges with the aim of promoting sustainable use of plastic materials in architecture, design construction.
As a part of PROJECT AWARDS 2023, we now invite students – the future generation of architects and designers – to help us solve the challenges. Not only because the coming generations will bear the brunt of a planet out of balance. But also, because there is a need for outside inspiration to rethink the role of plastics in a world that uses more natural resources than the planet provides.
