The Paper Power Project is a competition initiated by Web Structures, part of Ramboll, in collaboration with Dr Kody Kato of the Office for Design Evolution.

The Paper Power Project challenges “the architects and engineers of the future to reimagine how large modern structures can be built with sustainable materials to promote design excellence amongst Malaysian youth”.

The shortlisted teams will be invited to construct their paper structure for public display at Tropicana Gardens Mall, Petaling Jaya in April/June 2023, and the winners of The Paper Power Project will have “the unique opportunity” to undergo a one-month paid internship with the company’s structural division in Malaysia.
