We invite architects, designers, artists, engineers and multi-disciplinary teams worldwide to participate in a competition to re-imagine and rebuild the Peace Pentagon, located at 339 Lafayette Street in New York City. A hub of peace-promoting activism since the 1960s, the Peace Pentagon unites under one roof a wide array of non-profit groups committed to political and social change. We are seeking proposals that will support and expand the work of the peace activists on several scales: as a financially responsible and ecologically sustainable building, as a means of engaging with a neighborhood that has a rich history of activism and art, and as part of an influential city that can impact thinking in far-away places.
