Renewable City: Call for Ideas to Repurpose Vacant Urban Spaces
Ideas selected by AIA Seattle will be published in the August/September issue of Forum magazine.
Deadline for submissions: Friday, May 14, 2010
We are living a new economic paradigm, with profound impacts on our built environment. To what creative uses can we put vacant or underutilized buildings? Can partially constructed projects contribute to, rather than diminish, our neighborhoods? Are there more constructive uses for vacant lots than just another parking lot? How might we rethink outmoded infrastructure? How does the new economy create opportunities for lean, fresh solutions to our urban problems?
AIA Seattle's Forum magazine is seeking illustrated ideas that repurpose or rethink underused or vacant spaces of all kinds for its upcoming issue, "Coming Out of the Curve." We challenge designers and artists to think boldly about innovative approaches to underutilized land, buildings or infrastructure.
Submittal instructions:
Send a 72dpi jpeg with a 100 word synopsis to Isla McKetta at imcketta@aiaseattle.org by May 14. JPGs should be at least 8.5"x9". We cannot accept previously published images. If your idea is selected, a 300 dpi version will be requested. Click here for more information.
