Entries should also focus on climatic adaptive building skins suitable for the locality identified, integrating landscape into the building design, incorporating passive and active design strategies, renewable energy (if any) and other ecological design features.

Entries can be of an entire building or a detailed study and it must include a degree of feasibility based on today’s available resources.
