The International Concrete Design Competition for Students is a biennial ideas and design competition for students in architecture, engineering, design and affiliated disciplines. It is organized and funded by a consortium of European cement and concrete associations and open for students registered in an educational institute in one of the participating countries. The International Concrete Design Competition for Students aims at promoting innovative design attitudes related to the use of concrete as a material and a technology. It is characterized by its format: each competition cycle is framed by a theme designating a specific property of concrete. Nationally chosen laureates are invited to participate in an international master class. This master class continues the investigation of the theme. The International Concrete Design Competition for Students is material based. It focuses design attitudes towards material as a design-leading phenomenon. It does not prescribe ‘traditional’ design requirements like programme, location or typology. It asks participants to explore and exploit the potential of the material in a design-led environment. They are invited to approach the material from within its own merits and to push its potential to 'realise' developed ideas.
