Living Steel's 2nd International Architecture Competition for Sustainable Housing UK winner, Cartwright Pickard and short listed finalists will be honored at a UK winners event on the October 18th 2007. London based firm Cartwright Pickard will showcase its winning design at the event hosted by steel manufacturer Corus.

Cartwright Pickard's design utilized a flexible kit of standardized parts that can be arranged in a series of unique formations. The pre fabricated modules are factory built and can be fully fitted out prior to delivery to the building site.

Living Steel announced the winners of its 2nd International Architecture Competition for Sustainable Housing in Brussels last month and Cartwright Pickard was awarded EUR 50,000 and a contract to construct its steel housing design.

The International Competition for Sustainable Housing is a key activity for Living Steel, the International Iron and Steel Institute worldwide program developed to stimulate innovation in the design and construction of residential steel housing. Launched to develop innovative approaches to meet sustainable housing needs, underlying the competition is a desire to address the economic, environmental and social aspirations of a growing world population.
