The Competition
The competition brief asked Nigerian architecture students to design modern yet simple, affordable, and
culturally appropriate housing which can be built by low skilled individuals using compressed earth bricks and
other locally available materials. Designs should also recognize the predominant occupation of the population
-- therefore the need for appropriate crop storage and livestock habitation is important.
Thought should be given as to how individual houses best fit into the wider community that is being
rebuilt. Consideration must be given to how the environment will impact occupants’ health and well-being with
factors such as quality indoor environment, sewage disposal, landscaping, recycling, composting etc.
The cost of each unit should be as low as possible in material, recognizing that labour and compressed
earth bricks (CEB) will be supplied by the community.
