2. Contest Brief:
Submissions will be judged by their accuracy to the Contest Brief, as followed:
Cause: Adaptive reuse is an environmentally, culturally responsible approach to architecture, preserving the past while meeting contemporary needs. This competition focuses on transforming existing structures into modern, sustainable spaces that minimizes waste and impact.
Description: Participants will visualize an adaptive reuse project of their choice, whether a historic building, warehouse, or abandoned farm, for example. Designers should focus on how the building’s original character can be preserved and enhanced while adapting it to modern functions like co-working spaces, art galleries, community hubs, or even a home. Emphasis should be placed on reducing material waste, integrating sustainability, and creating a renewed connection between history and modernity.
Outcome: The winning visualization will highlight how adaptive reuse can elevate underutilized structures while serving the needs of modern society. Featured in designboom and Fiverr’s networks, this project could inspire future collaborations with architects and developers, opening doors for freelancers to work on real-world urban renewal projects.
3. Judging Criteria:
a) Connection to Brief (1-5 points)
- Definition: How effectively does the submission address the adaptive reuse concept, transforming an existing structure into a sustainable, modern space while honoring its historical and cultural heritage? Judges will consider how well the design incorporates the original architectural features and demonstrates sensitivity to the building’s context and history.
- Scoring:
1 = No clear connection to adaptive reuse or the brief
2 = Marginally connects to the brief with significant gaps in addressing the core idea
3 = A satisfactory connection to the brief but lacking in depth or certain key elements
4 = Strong interpretation of adaptive reuse with clear alignment to the brief
5 = Exemplary connection, creatively and fully meeting the brief’s goals
b) Sustainability & Environmental Impact (1-5 points)
- Definition: How well does the submission reduce material waste, incorporate sustainable practices, and minimize environmental impact?
- Scoring:
1 = No evidence of sustainable practices or reduction of environmental impact
2 = Basic effort to incorporate sustainability but not central to the design
3 = Some focus on sustainability, but could be improved
4 = Strong integration of sustainable principles throughout the design
5 = Outstanding approach to sustainability, with clear innovation in minimizing environmental impact
c) Creativity & Imagination (1-5 points)
- Definition: How creative and imaginative is the design? Does it offer a fresh, innovative perspective on adaptive reuse?
- Scoring:
1 = Lacks creativity or new ideas
2 = Shows some creativity, but generally conventional
3 = Moderately imaginative, with a few fresh ideas
4 = Strong creativity, offering unique approaches to design
5 = Highly original and inventive, setting new standards for adaptive reuse
d) Visual & Technical Execution (1-5 points)

3 = Adequate execution, meets minimum standards
4 = Strong technical ability, well-executed visuals
5 = Outstanding technical skill, highly professional and visually compelling
f) Functionality and User Experience (1-5 points)
- Definition: How well does the redesign serve its new purpose, enhance user comfort, and ensure accessibility? Judges will consider spatial planning, adaptability, and usability improvements that respect the building’s character.
- Scoring:
1 = Usability is more conceptual than practical and original character of structure has been fully compromised
2 = Usability and functionality exist but lack refinement - 3 = Adequately addresses usability and functionality
4 = Clear attention provided to function of the space - 5 = Compelling usability and function at the heart of the design
5. Intellectual Property and License

The Participants shall be free to use these non-selected works in whatever manner they deem appropriate without any reference to the Sponsor and as long as these works do not integrate nor copy any design, model, trademark, copyright, logo, or any… duly registered by and/or belonging to the Sponsor.
If the Participant wishes to communicate the Contest in his/her portfolio, the Participant will always mention the fact that his/her Work was realized within the framework of a competition named “Revive on Fiverr” for Fiverr and Designboom, and not as part of a collaboration between the Participant and Fiverr or Designboom.
The Participants agree that the Sponsor and the Producer shall have the sole discretion in determining the extent and manner of non-commercial use of the Submissions and are not obligated to use any Submission. Each Participant acknowledges that other Participants may have created plans and concepts contained in their Submission that may have familiarities or similarities to his/her own Submission, and that he/she will not be entitled to any compensation or right to negotiate with the Contest Entities because of these familiarities or similarities.
