Grace Farms leads Design for Freedom, the global movement to eliminate forced labor from the building materials supply chain. Grace Farms is partnering with the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA) to announce a student design competition for the 2024-2025 academic year. The competition is intended to challenge students, working individually or in teams, to explore how architectural materials research and design can eliminate forced labor in the building materials supply chain – to explore and propose how architects can work to eradicate forced and child labor from the built environment.

 

The Competition is open to students from all ACSA member schools around the world. Students may work individually or in teams and must work with a faculty sponsor on the submission. There will be no fee for eligible students to participate in the Competition. All published materials, websites included, associated with the Competition will describe eligibility.
