PINarchitecture is an open monthly micro-competition for designers who have a desire to exercise design skills and share original ideas. Submissions are both small and digital to give busy designers an opportunity to participate without the time commitment of a standard competition. There is no fee to participate and no specific eligibility requirements.

October Competition /// The Sweating City

Global temperatures are rising, on average, and will continue to rise for the foreseeable future.  Air conditioning and shading devices may not be enough to sustain the livability of cities, where the majority of the world's population now lives.  Sweating is an automatic mechanism to regulate body temperature.  Similarly, how might a city regulate its temperature through an automatic water distribution system?  Where will water come from, with increasing need and diminishing sources?  How might the volume of water needed during heat events be delivered through a network, or series, of devices?  How might a city sweat?

Submissions may be technical, conceptual, practical, and/or artistic. Participants are asked to design a water-based cooling system that addresses exterior temperatures in an urban environment.
