Design Rochester is proud to announce the second annual Rochester Design Competition.
Modeled after AIA Minnesota's St. Paul Prize, the Rochester Design Competition focuses on a transitional site in the heart of downtown Rochester.
Both the Rochester Downtown Master Plan and Destination Medical Center Development Plan employ a strategy focused on the Zumbro River as a revitalized public amenity in contrast to the current utilitarian flood control channel. The 2015 Rochester Design Competition centers around a piece of land locked between the Zumbro River, Fourth Street SE, and Civic Center Drive/Third Avenue SE of paramount importance. While currently expansive and underutilized, the potential exists for the site to transform the livability and walkability of downtown Rochester. Besides one four-story commercial building, the site is currently used as surface parking lot (summertime home of the Rochester Downtown Farmers Market) and Public Works storage. The 2015 Rochester Design Competition will provide an opportunity to focus on a potential public-private partnership project to encourage development along the river’s edges throughout downtown and the core neighborhoods.
Interns within seven years of graduating, architectural students, and unlicensed individuals are eligible.
Prizes: First Prize $1,000 and Honorable Mention Prize(s) $250
[NOTE: All designs will remain the property of the entrants and there is no guarantee that a winning design will be used by the City of Rochester, DMCC, or any other developer.]
Entry Fee: $20
