Affordable Housing Prototype

Affordable housing remains one of the most critical challenges faced by rapidly urbanizing societies. While the demand for housing continues to grow, affordability often comes at the cost of dignity, quality, and social well-being.

The Affordable Housing Prototype competition invites architects, designers, and planners to rethink housing for low- and middle-income communities—creating solutions that are economically viable, socially inclusive, and spatially dignified. Participants are challenged to design a replicable housing prototype that balances cost efficiency with livability, adaptability, and long-term sustainability.
