An Autodesk Revit 3D model of a mixed-use building featuring commercial spaces, residential units, and a basement, created by students along with a presentation and walkthrough video.

Signing in saves it for your whole team — everyone on your invite link sees the same two entries. Anything you shortlisted while signed out comes with you.
Decomposed from what the description asks for. Nothing added.
Commercial Podium Design
Design the basement parking, ground, and first floors for retail, cafes, and community spaces.
Residential Units Design
Design the second to ninth floors with efficient layouts, balconies, ventilation, and privacy.
Climate-Responsive Facade
Develop an innovative facade system with shading elements and green terraces that responds to climate.
Central Landscaped Courtyard
Incorporate a central landscape courtyard and green interfaces to improve occupant well-being.
Revit Model and Structural Details
Create the complete Autodesk Revit 3D model with architectural elements and structural reinforcement drawings.
Visual Presentation and Walkthrough
Deliver a PowerPoint presentation, rendered views, diagrams, and a thirty-second walkthrough animation.
Both columns are read off the brief's own wording. Nothing here is inferred from the ministry's name.
The jury will check that the Revit model is created from scratch without pre-designed files and includes architectural elements, structural detailing for at least one floor, and a commercial podium. They will also evaluate the quality of the rendered images, facade studies, and the thirty-second walkthrough animation.
A jury can still ask about these. Decide them deliberately rather than by accident.
Generated from the brief's own wording and the competition's published rules — never from a guess about what this ministry prefers.
Exact plot dimensions and setbacks?
The brief never answers this, so a panel will. Whatever you decide, say it the same way twice.
Specific local building bylaws or zoning codes to follow?
The brief never answers this, so a panel will. Whatever you decide, say it the same way twice.
Has any part of this been shown at a previous event, hackathon or college project?
The guidelines are explicit: your solution must not have appeared in any previous event or programme, of any sort. A recycled project is what a team under time pressure reaches for.
The brief asks for commercial podium design. How would you build that?
Decoded from SIH26116 itself — Design the basement parking, ground, and first floors for retail, cafes, and community spaces. The brief asks for it by name.
Each one is quoted from a gap in the brief, not a guess about your team.
No measurable target
The description specifies the number of floors and general features, but does not provide measurable performance metrics for energy efficiency or structural load limits.
What the organisers attached, and what the brief assumes you can get.
Same organisation, same year. Reading two of theirs tells you more about what they care about than reading one.
Pick what you are about to do and copy the prompt. It carries the organisers' own wording, the constraints they never spell out, and an instruction not to invent requirements they never set.
Who has this problem, what already exists, and what you would have to find out.

Where does your data come from — a published source, one you collect, or one you generate?
No dataset is attached to this problem statement, so sourcing it is part of the work and nobody told you that.
Why not use what already exists? Name the closest thing to this that is already running.
A team that has not named the alternative themselves is answering this for the first time in the room.
Which single thing will you demonstrate end to end, start to finish, with nothing skipped?
Ours, not a rule: a narrow thing that fully works survives questioning better than a broad thing that half works. If nobody on the team can name it, that is the finding.
Show me this working: the jury will check that the Revit model is created from scratch without pre-designed files and includes architectural elements, structural detailing for at least one floor, and a commercial podium.
