Two First Prizes have been given at the "Downtown Fargo: an urban-infill competition", an international, conceptual urban ideas competition for Fargo, North Dakota. The challenge, sponsored by Fargo-based developer Kilbourne Group, was open to architects, designers, engineers, landscape architects, and students and asked to envision an exceptional multi-use space that accommodates retail, residential, parking, office, and civic space. The space needed to convey the energy of “live, work and play” in Downtown Fargo.
