We are announcing a competition which aims to generate debate and ideas for the re-designing a section of the most important urban space in the history of Chinese civilization. It is a Web 2.0 competion in the sense of generating debate from a wide spectrum of designers, sponsors, users, photographers and critics. A secondary aim is to show the world that the landscape architecture profession can and should take a lead in urban design. For a recession bound profession, it is a chance for individuals and firms to make new reputations and help set the agenda for tomorrow’s landscape. Educators are invited to specify their own versions of the brief for the cohorts they teach.
Entries can be published to Flickr any time between March 2009 and June 2010. There will be an Early Bird Prize for the first entry
submitted.
