Architecture at Zero is a design competition focused on decarbonization, equity, and resilience in architecture. The 2024 competition challenges participants to design a new building on a middle school campus in East Los Angeles, California, incorporating sustainable design elements. While the competition involves a real location, it is an ideas competition, not a real project.
