简介 / Premise
随着海平面上升和气候事件加剧，全球沿海人口面临前所未有的流离失所，催生了新一代的“气候移民”。传统的陆地难民住所的解决方案往往是临时性的、资源密集型的，无法提供长期的居住尊严或稳定生活。本次竞赛旨在挑战建筑师和设计师，通过提出一种新的模型——一个充满活力、自力更生的社区，彻底反思人道主义建筑。“漂浮难民村”的设想并非是一个临时营地，而是一个永久的、适应性强的、繁荣的栖息地，与水生环境和谐共存，为那些因气候变化而流离失所的人们提供一个富有韧性的未来。
With rising sea levels and intensifying climate events, coastal populations worldwide face unprecedented displacement, creating a new generation of climate migrants. Traditional land-based refugee solutions are often temporary, resource-intensive, and fail to provide long-term dignity or stability. This competition challenges architects and designers to radically rethink humanitarian architecture by proposing a new paradigm: a buoyant, self-reliant community. The Floating Refugee Village is envisioned not as a temporary camp, but as a permanent, adaptable, and thriving habitat that harmonizes with its aquatic environment, offering a resilient future for those displaced by our changing planet.
目标 / Site
参与者的主要目标是设计一个可容纳约1000名居民的模块化、可扩展的“漂浮难民村”原型。该方案必须是一个完全集成、可自给自足的生态系统。关键设计要素必须包括住宅模块、社区空间、教育和医疗设施以及商业区域。设计的核心是循环系统的整合，包括可再生能源发电（太阳能、潮汐能或风能）、用于保障粮食安全的先进水培和鱼菜共生农场，以及创新的海水淡化和废物管理系统，从而打造一个弹性的离网生活的典范。
The primary objective is to design a modular and scalable Floating Refugee Village prototype for approximately 1,000 residents. The proposal must be a fully integrated, self-sustaining ecosystem. Key design components must include residential modules, community spaces, educational and healthcare facilities, and areas for commerce. Central to the design is the integration of closed-loop systems, including renewable energy generation (solar, tidal, and/or wind), advanced hydroponic and aquaponic farms for food security, and innovative water desalination and waste management systems, creating a model for resilient off-grid living.
场地 / Site
参与者需自行选择一个概念场地，该场地需要是位于受保护的沿海地区或平静的大面积内陆水道，且易受气候引起的水位变化的影响，例如东南亚的河口三角洲或太平洋岛屿的受保护海湾等。具体地理位置可灵活选择，但设计必须考虑所选地点的环境条件（例如潮汐、日照、盛行风和潜在的风暴潮）。拟建村庄的总水域面积应在15至25公顷之间，以确保有足够的空间容纳所有规划活动以及未来潜在的扩展。
Participants are to select a conceptual site located in a sheltered coastal region or a large, calm inland waterway susceptible to climate-induced displacement, such as a delta in Southeast Asia or a protected bay in the Pacific Islands. The specific geography is flexible, but the design must respond to the chosen location’s environmental conditions (e.g., tidal patterns, sun exposure, prevailing winds, and potential storm surges). The proposed village should occupy a total water surface area ranging between 15 to 25 hectares, ensuring sufficient space for all programmed activities and potential future expansion.
限制条件 / Constraints
所有提案必须遵循彻底的可持续性原则。结构设计应采用浮力强、耐用且环保的材料，优先考虑可回收或生物复合材料。整个村庄必须独立运行，通过综合可再生能源满足100%的能源需求。设计必须包含一个全面的粮食生产系统，能够满足居民的大部分营养需求。此外，村庄必须采用模块化系统，以便适应分阶段建设、可扩展需求，并易于重新布局或迁移。结构设计必须具备稳定性和抵御海洋影响（包括50年一遇的风暴）的韧性。
All proposals must adhere to the principle of radical sustainability. Structures should be designed using buoyant, durable, and eco-friendly materials, prioritizing recycled or bio-composite components. The entire village must operate off-grid, generating 100% of its energy needs through integrated renewable sources. The design must feature a comprehensive food production system capable of supplying a significant portion of the residents’ nutritional needs. Furthermore, the village must be a modular system, allowing for phased construction, scalability, and easy reconfiguration or relocation. The structural design must demonstrate stability and resilience against marine conditions, including a 50-year storm event.
评审标准 / Evaluation Criteria
参赛作品将根据四个要点进行评判。创新性和愿景（占比30%）将评估建筑理念在应对气候移民危机方面的原创性和实力。可持续性和自给自足（占比30%）将评估能源、食品、水和废物系统的有效性和整合性。社区和宜居性（占比20%）将关注居民的生活质量、社交空间的设计以及以人为本的环境的营造。可行性和可扩展性（占比20%）将评估方案的结构逻辑、成本效益、模块化设计及其在不同环境下的复制潜力。
Submissions will be judged on four key pillars. Innovation and Vision (30%) will assess the originality and strength of the architectural concept in addressing the climate migrant crisis. Sustainability and Self-Sufficiency (30%) will evaluate the effectiveness and integration of the energy, food, water, and waste systems. Community and Livability (20%) will focus on the quality of life for residents, the design of social spaces, and the creation of a dignified human-centric environment. Feasibility and Scalability (20%) will judge the proposal’s structural logic, cost-effectiveness, modular design, and its potential for replication in different contexts.
