ACEx | Light Ideas Design Competition
Call for Designs
To achieve a renewable energy future, we aim to explore how novel solar materials and photovoltaic technologies can be integrated into new structures, building elements, furniture and other devices in the urban landscape.
The material that entrants are challenged to creatively integrate into their designs is the Luminescent Solar Concentrator (LSC). Luminescent Solar Concentrators as a material for innovative design and construction have properties very similar to a sheet of transparent coloured plastic or Perspex. More details regarding LSCs can be found in the below downloadable full design brief.
The Exciton Science Light Ideas Design Competition will direct and encourage the next generation of architects and designers to prepare for a future in which LSC materials are widely available in our cities. Their perspective may help guide the scientific development direction of these materials further by proposing innovative uses of this emerging technology.
