The Scotswood Expo Architectural Competition is a new international design contest promoted by Newcastle City Council for one of the country’s largest regeneration projects. Run by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Competitions Office, the competition seeks fresh thinking in the design of new housing.
Our aim is to select six design teams to develop innovative housing designs which respond to the challenges of environmental sustainability, adaptability, new ways of living and designing beautiful buildings. The Competition seeks to develop designs for plots to create a family of demonstration houses or prototypes that will be built for the Expo event and sold on thereafter.
