Growing Green Competition- Baltimore City, 1st Place
In conjunction with Baltimore City Office of Sustainability, Chesapeake Bay Trust Foundation, and the Environmental Protection Agency, we entered a competition for reclaiming and re-purposing vacant lots owned by the City. Our design was a 3-part series called Lots of Art, that installed performance art and community gathering spaces in pockets of 3 different low-income neighborhoods in West Baltimore. Upon review by the committee, we won a large sum of money to put towards the realization of these vacant lot treatments. Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake also touted the design as her top selection and wishes to replicate these designs throughout the city once the original sites are completed.
