Abstract: Life of universe can be predicted only up till human imaginations, and as long as this ‘buttressed by brain’ species is alive. Whereas, education and academics show the path to sustain and to be alive in the universe in all means. Education of Architecture and allied fields are handling one of the most important needs called as shelter including outside and inside of it. Many times it is difficult to incorporate futuristic and sustainable attributes in mainstream system of academics and syllabus so as to cover fundamentals of the stream. Architectural design competitions can take this social responsibility if designed in such a manner to orient candidates or students towards topic of discussion as sustained, healthy and secured future of current generations and thereafter. Article covers discussion about such competition as an example of baby steps towards cultivating awareness in future generation of designers at early academic age.
