THE SUSTAINABLE AFRICA HOME DESIGN

PRIZE FUND : 5000 €

REGISTRATION DEADLINE : 23 September, 2023

Sustainable home design doesn’t have to be hard. There are a lot of small things you can do to make your home more sustainable, without making big changes or spending a lot of money. Start with some of these tips and see how they work for you – then continue building on them until your home is as sustainable as you want it to be. What do you think should be the first step when creating eco-friendly homes? Leave a comment below!

A sustainable home is designed with the environment in mind. It uses resources wisely and minimizes waste. Sustainable design is important because, as we mentioned before, our homes have a big impact on the environment. The construction and demolition of homes produce a lot of waste, and the materials used in traditional houses often contain harmful chemicals. There are many reasons to choose a sustainable home design. Some of the most important ones are: It’s Healthier for you and your Family-You’ll Save Money on Energy Bills – It’s Better for the Environment

WHAT IS SUSTAINABLE DESIGN AND WHY SHOULD YOU CARE ABOUT IT?

All of these reasons are important, but arguably the most important one is that sustainable homes are better for both your health and the earth’s health. In a sustainable home, you aren’t exposed to the harmful chemicals and pollutants that come with traditional construction. You also don’t have to worry about using as many precious resources as water and energy. So if you’re looking for a healthier way to live, a green design is definitely the way to go! But creating a sustainable home can seem daunting at first. How do you make it more environmentally friendly? What are some simple steps you can take?

Everyone is welcome to enter the contest. There is no need for a professional qualification. Individuals or teams may develop design proposals (3 team members maximum). English must be used for all communications with the organizers and for the submission of any participant information.

To enrich his knowledge and be up to date with the new generation in his profession, in 2013 he took the position of Teacher at UC.com ‘Université Central Com Tunisie‘ for the Specialty Workshop of Interior Design.
After all these successful Experiences, he engaged in a new challenge that of improving the profession of interior architect in Tunisia, then he decided to register in the elections of December 2017 of the National Syndicated Chamber of Interior Architects of Tunisia ‘C.S.N.A.I.T.’ and he was elected the President of the chamber for five years.
Since the elections, he tries to work the community of interior architects where he organizes the first African Architecture Fair ‘Archi Africa‘ which was a moment of African unity in the search for solutions based on architecture, interior architecture and design and to bring together these different stakeholders around the same objective: To define a plan of action for partnership and collaboration to harness the power of design, architecture, interior architecture and urban planning to meet the current challenges of the economy, culture, environment and society.

And after all these major events in his career, he never stopped advancing in his field so he decided to found with a wonderful team of researchers the first African journal of architecture and design ‘Archi-Africa‘.
