About Competition
Arch storming launches an international competition to design resilient schools after natural disasters in Nepal.
In 2024, Nepal experienced one of the most devastating monsoon seasons in its history. The catastrophic torrential rains caused severe floods and landslides, destroying numerous homes, infrastructure, and over 140 schools, leaving thousands of children without a safe place to study.
Their consequences have been almost as devastating as the 2015 earthquake, yet they have gone largely unnoticed, and the international response has been much weaker. It is time to support Nepal once again, helping children in vulnerable communities secure a better future.
That is why Arch storming, in collaboration with Karmayog Foundation and Nepal Rising, has launched the humanitarian competition ‘Nepal School Project: Designing for Resilience’, inviting architects and students from around the world to design an ecological, replicable, and earthquake-resistant school prototype.
The challenge is to develop a model adaptable to various rural locations in the country, using sustainable materials and safe construction solutions against future disasters. These schools will not only ensure educational continuity but also serve as community shelters in emergencies.
