The students of the 2017-18 edition of the Master Degree in Architecture and Sustainability (UPC School) participated in the 16th Asian Design Award Competition, organized by the Asia Architecture and Urbanism Alliance, a contest to which we were invited to participate together with other universities around the world.
Within the nine categories proposed, the master’s teams participated in the ‘Ecological, Healthy and Sustainable’ category, adapting the core projects developed during the course to the competition’s bases, to present them in August 2018.
