These three shortlisted adaptive-reuse proposals will vie for the 2024 Davidson Prize

The shortlist finalists for the 2024 Davidson Prize have been announced as part of the annual contest’s third edition, whose theme is 'Rethinking Home — Adapt and Reuse.'The field that was selected from the proposals included in this month’s longlist announcement were each asked to develop ideas for new homes made from recycled materials or using retrofitting methods on existing structures. Each finalist will receive honorariums worth a total of £5,000 ($8,160 USD) each to develop their proposals further toward the £10,000 ($12,500) final prize. Alexander Turner, Co-founder of Studio MUTT and winner of the 2023 Prize, said: "After being part of the 2023 winning team, it was great to be on the other side of the table. For me, it was important that the three finalists we selected were grounded in a level of reality, so they have potential to be seeds of growth after the competition. While the three finalists are diverse in their overall approaches and team configurations, they are centered around the idea of community, something which I believe is vital to the home of tomorrow."The 2024 contest is aimed at designing solutions to help address the UK's housing shortage within the context of climate change and follows previous editions, which combatted other contemporary social issues like homelessness and isolation. A winner will be announced in May. The three projects in the running for this year's Davidson Prize are:Robin Hood Co-Living Community by Alma-nac, Constant SD, Eric Guibert, Mark BlackwellRead the full post on Bustler
