Saie 2009 launches SAIE Selection competition

Saie Selection 09, an international competition open to students and young architects on the theme of low-cost and low-energy living solutions, will be one of the initiatives held at the next Saie (28-32 October 2009).

The event will address the two most topical issues in the building sector, social sustainability and innovation, which will be explored during the event through specific workshops.

The projects fall into 4 categories – Metal&Glass, Brick, Wood and Concrete – and must satisfy the three essential criteria of sustainability, energy efficiency and low implementation costs. The top three projects in each competition category (projects must be submitted by July 2009) will be displayed in the exhibition staged in the SAIE services centre.
