The contest was won by three college students who took on the challenge as a sheer desire to satisfy their need to contribute in the improvement of low environmental impact constructions.
The contest required for the architects to use low budget, local and renewable material while enhancing nature’s visual appeal. The college students pointed out that the Costa Rica was in need of more autochthonous designs and structures that would seek to protect and preserve the environment while enhancing the country’s natural beauty.
The project will be presented in the United States before the actual construction will take place in an undisclosed coastal town. All three students will be flying to New York to present their experimental project.
Although the area where these young architects will be seeing their project come to life has not been mentioned, what has been told is that it will be done under strict environmental control due to an important sea turtle nesting area nearby.
Hopefully this type of tourist investment will continue in order to benefit not only the environment but new proposals that may serve as role models
