Vision42's Design International Competition is calling all architects, planners, and urban designers to submit their design ideas for a river-to-river and auto-free light rail boulevard in New York City's 42nd Street.
For an iconic street, it is also laden with traffic and noise. Based on this observation, Vision42 set up the competition to garner interest and potentially repurpose the street into a spacious, pedestrian-friendly urban space at the core of the city. From there, they hope the competition will become a model for a live/work urban space and transportation hub for the 21st century.
More info below.
"The first phase of the competition will be entirely digital, permitting applicants to submit their entries electronically, greatly expanding opportunities for participation globally. Upon selection of finalists by the jury, those selected shall prepare and send boards for the exhibition to a designated address in New York City.
The winning design will be one that utilizes the potential of the boulevard to inspire New Yorkers and its elected officials to transform the street into a model for a 21st century live/work space and transportation corridor. A jury of design and public policy professionals will select the winner and runners-up, and monetary prizes will be awarded to the top design proposals. The four semi-finalists will share a prize of $5000 and the winner will receive a cash award of $10,000."
Digital registration deadline: September 8 (midnight, Eastern Time)
