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.

paul, ReBurbia looks interesting, why a month? nothing against the time, actually i find it appealing, but do you think you'll get fully fleshed out ideas?
I'm not one of the competition organizers, so I'm unsure of the scheduling decisions.
Great! The World will be saved again by the bloggers.
