Following the success of Eleven Magazine's inaugural competition for Cambodia's Tonlé Sap Lake, this year focuses on The Tenderloin neighborhood in San Francisco with the launch of "San Francisco 2016: Tenderloin System Update". While affluence surrounds The Tenderloin, the neighborhood itself still unfortunately carries a shady reputation for high crime rates and poverty.
"Tenderloin System Update" seeks design strategies that would help transform the neighborhood into "the model-district of the future", as Eleven describes. How can architecture help alleviate The Tenderloin's complex situation?
While it's easier to have utopian visions of what makes an ideal city, addressing the real-life problems to improve the world's existing cities is a daunting task, but crucial. For "Tenderloin System Update", participants are posed with the following questions:
Can the Tenderloin — one of the worst urban areas in the USA — be transformed into a global model-district of excellence? Can this inspire a new concept of regeneration and urbanism which embodies our contemporary world? Can it go from being an isolated island of deprivation to becoming connected: the center of a new 21st century urban paradigm?
Up for the challenge? Register now at an early-bird discount rate until March 1. Final submission deadline is May 11.
