ReBurbia - A Suburban Design Competition
Deadline: Saturday, August 01, 2009
In a future where limited natural resources will force us to find better solutions for density and efficiency, what will become of the cul-de-sacs, cookie-cutter tract houses and generic strip malls that have long upheld the diffuse infrastructure of suburbia? How can we redirect these existing spaces to promote sustainability, walkability, and community? It’s a problem that demands a visionary design solution and we want you to create the vision!
Jury: Jill Fehrenbacher, Sarah Rich, Fritz Haeg, Geoff Manaugh, Thomas Ermacora, Paul Petrunia, and Allan Chochinov.
WPA 2.0: an open design competition for working public architecture
Deadline: Friday, August 07, 2009
WPA 2.0 poses this question: What’s in store for the city if design takes back the streets? The limits of pure utility dissolve to reveal infrastructure’s greater powers. WPA 2.0 is not a sci-fi fantasy, and it’s not the Long Island Expressway. Show us what it looks like. Tell us how it works.
Jury: Stan Allen, Cecil Balmond, Elizabeth Diller, Walter Hood, Thom Mayne, Marilyn Taylor.
