Imagining Recovery Winners Announced

lab/RAD and the Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture Planning and Preservation here announce the winners of the IMAGINING RECOVERY open international design ideas competition.

On April 29, the 100th day of the Obama Presidency, IMAGINING RECOVERY received submissions from designers in 25 different countries.

The competition called on designers to act as mediators between policy and the public by producing an image of the lived experience of recovery, increasing the transparency and intelligibility of the charts, maps and graphics of RECOVERY.GOV. This image is to be supported by a design strategy offering a means to get from the present to this image of recovery.

The competition brief was a living document, collectively written by the design participants and a select panel of public policy students from prestigious policy schools around the world.

On May 13th, the distinguished jury met at the ART DIRECTORS CLUB in New York to select a total of ten projects for recognition. Of these, three were selected to receive prizes from APPLE.
