The iNTA Design Competition:

In coordination with the 9th International Conference of the International Network for Tropical Architecture (INTA), the 2025 iNTA Design Competition invites designers, architects, engineers, students, and interdisciplinary teams to submit climate-responsive housing projects for tropical regions that address the unique environmental, cultural, and social challenges of tropical climates.

Competition Objectives:

• Inspire climate-responsive housing designs suited to tropical environments.

• Promote the integration of local materials, vernacular knowledge, and contemporary technologies

• Address resilience to extreme tropical weather conditions (cyclones, heavy rainfall, drought, high heat).

• Explore the roof’s potential in energy generation, water collection, biodiversity, and community use.

• Demonstrate housing’s potential for energy generation, water collection, biodiversity enhancement, and community engagement.

• Emphasize recycling, reuse, and circular design principles to minimize environmental impact and maximize resource efficiency
