Given the current day state of the suburbs Dwell Magazine and Inhabitat.com have co-produced the first design competition dedicated to re-envisioning the suburbs.
In a future where limited natural resources will force us to find better solutions for density and efficiency, what will become of the cul-de-sacs, cookie-cutter tract houses and generic strip malls that have long upheld the diffuse infrastructure of suburbia? How can we redirect these existing spaces to promote sustainability, walkability, and community? It’s a problem that demands a visionary design solution and we want you to create the vision!
Jury composed of: Allan Chochinov, Thomas Ermacora, Jill Fehrenbacher, Fritz Haeg, Geoff Manaugh, Paul Petrunia, Sarah Rich
Deadline August 1, for all info. visit the Reburbia competition website
