Gowanus Crossings

international ideas competition

iscrizioni entro 01.04.11 | consegna entro 17.04.11

Inaugural international ideas competition, which invites speculation on the value of urban development of postindustrial lands, and the possibility of dynamic, pedestrian-oriented architecture that either passively or actively engages with the canal and the surrounding watershed. This competition, the first of a series, focuses on the design of connections in and around the canal, and the residual moments around these connections.

One of Gowanus by Design's objectives is to generate a discourse about urban issues that are currently relevant to the Gowanus Canal Community. The competition is designed to generate a spectrum of possible solutions. The jury will look for designers to explore their own design sensibilities while tackling complex urban challenges specific to the canal. The competition aims to attract the interest of a wide range of individuals (not just those within the architectural profession) on a local and international level.

Awards
* First place will receive the $1000 GbD cash prize
* Two Second prizes will receive a $500 cash prize each
* Up to 3 Additional Honorable Mentions will be selected based on the Jury
All submissions will be displayed during the May exhibit and opening

Gowanus Crossings is an international ideas competition, which invites speculation on the value of urban development of postindustrial lands, and the possibility of dynamic, pedestrian-oriented architecture that either passively or actively engages with the canal and the surrounding watershed. This competition focuses on the design of connections in and around the canal, and the residual moments around these connections. These may relate to the east west crossings and/or the north south corridor that defines the Canal and upland.
