15 urban homes of the future revealed on shortlist for Dezeen and MINI Living competition
Parasitic structures, 3D-printed homes, floating architecture and even flying houses feature on the Dezeen x MINI Living Future Urban Home competition shortlist, which is unveiled today.
15 designs have been shortlisted in the competition, which called on Dezeen readers to design a home for 100 years in the future.
The contest asked readers to the consider the challenges that cities will face over the next century, and to propose innovative solutions for urban homes to overcome those challenges.
The competition also asked submitted designs to respond to the MINI Living maxim "big life, small footprint" by making the most of available space in cities.
We received over 400 entries from around the world, with 15 designs from readers based in nine different countries making the shortlist. A jury comprising Dezeen editor-in-chief Marcus Fairs and editorial director Amy Frearson, alongside MINI Living creative lead Oke Hauser and designer Corinna Natter, will pick the top three designs from this selection.
The final winners will be announced on 17 January 2019, with £10,000 of prizes available: £5,000 for the winner, £3,000 for the runner up and £2,000 for third place.
