The design is expected to inaugurate and structure the transformation of the site while remaining open to change and growth over time. Downsview Park is to be internationally recognized as one of Canada's great urban parks. It will be a unique recreational greenspace for the people of the Greater Toronto Area, for all ages to play, learn and enjoy. It will serve as a meeting place for this and future generations to celebrate Canada, its history and physical and human diversity. It will commemorate and interpret local, regional and national cultural heritage while providing a setting for leading edge environmental practices and other innovations in technology and culture undertaken in partnership with corporations, non-profit organizations and educational institutions. Downsview Park is to be at the forefront of park design in Canada and the world. Interested firms or teams are invited to submit Expressions of Interest, which should include: a statement of interest and approach, which may be illustrated; a description of the lead and supporting firms, their scope of experience, key personnel, and respective roles and expertise; and a portfolio of relevant projects (built and unbuilt) and/or design research, including client contacts. Interdisciplinary teams are encouraged, drawing together expertise appropriate to the challenges and opportunities of the site and the approach being taken by proponents. While proposals could include ecologists, engineers, graphic designers and artists, the composition of teams is at the discretion of proponents. Lead consultants should be architects or landscape architects. Expressions of interest may be submitted in either English or French. Shortlisting should be complete by October 25, 1999. Approximately five entrants will be selected to take part in the Competition on the basis of their potential to achieve the design objectives for the Park.

International EUROPANDOM competition launch
Constructing the town in the French tropics
Ways of life and tropical architecture

Closing date for registration: 15 September 1999
Closing date for entries: 29 October 1999

The EUROPANDOM competition is aimed at architects under the age of 45 who are being asked to find innovative architectural and urban responses to the relevant problems on the following four selected sites in the French Overseas Departments.

Guadeloupe: Cour-Charneau Les Abymes
Urbanisation of an urban freeway

French Guiana: Mont-Baduel in Cayenne
Densification of a diffuse town

Martinique: Le Vauclin
Modernisation of a country suburb

Réunion: Ravine Blanche in Saint-Pierre
Enhancement of a housing estate on the coast

An ideas competition followed by implementations, EUROPANDOM, through innovative projects and a number of exemplary implementations, is an opportunity to create new openings in the field of design and production of housing in the four French overseas departments concerned..

While taking into account the constraints imposed by production in quantity needed to respond to the serious lack of social housing, is it possible to imagine other types of residential housing scheme that can be a form of transition between community tradition and urban ways of life?

How can forms of urban housing be conceived that are compact, linked to public services, and at the same time maintain a relationship with nature and the environment?

How can EUROPANDOM's urban and architectural projects be incorporated into a more open production system?

How, in the processes of conception and implementation underlying these

projects, is it possible to give impetus to co-ordination between a whole range of players:

- on an urban level, by a better insertion of housing into the town;

- on an architectural level, by a reflection on the form of housing in relation to ways of, and different forms of, appropriation;

- on a construction level, by proposing composite modes of construction?

EUROPANDOM is organised by the *French Secretariat d'Etat à l'Outre-Mer; Secretariat d'Etat au Logement; Direction de l'Architecture et du Patrimoine; Plan Urbain, Construction et Architecture, with the collaboration of EUROPAN, and in partnership with the RFO (Réseau France Outre Mer).

100% Rubber Design Competition

For designs, either conceptual or finished items, which incorporate rubber in some way.

The thinking behind 100% Rubber:
Rubber has been around a long time. We see lots of rubber objects everyday. Yet over the years it has developed a schizophrenic image. On the one hand, utilitarian: rubber gloves, car tyres, wellington boots. On the other, fetishist: from the mildly naughty to the frankly outrageous. We decided it was time that the image of rubber had a makeover.

The properties that have always made rubber so useful - flexibility, toughness, water resistance - are just as valid today as they have always been. And as manufacturers of rubber flooring we knew of lots more benefits. Incredible colour potential, burn-resistance, softness and warmth plus a lovely tactile quality. We were also finding that more and more designers were using our flooring material for applications other than flooring - on walls and columns, on furniture and other surfaces.

So that's how it started. A design competition seemed a good way to get contemporary designers thinking about rubber in a new light. We're also not averse to having a little fun. Lots of design competitions take themselves very seriously, and we didn't want that. We encouraged entrants to be as creative, witty, off the wall as they liked. Quite honestly, we were astounded with the reaction. Clearly we struck a nerve. We had over 200 entries from all over the world, not just the UK. Our original intention had been to display just the winner and finalists on our stand at this year's 100% Design exhibition. But we found ourselves with so much wonderful material that we decided to allocate a much bigger proportion of the stand. We selected about 40 of our favourite entries and created both a static exhibition and a multimedia presentation (our stand is next to the bar, so we always have a great captive audience). A lot of the entrants came to see the stand. For many of them it was the first public display of their work, and they were delighted. The display attracted lots of interest generally, from the public and the press, and we received a number of specific enquiries about particular designs which we hope will lead to positive outcomes for the designers.

Naturally, because it went so well, we are planning to run the competition again this year.

Magazine links:
run in conjunction with FX magazine, the UK's leading contemporary design title

Categories for entry:
· Interiors and artworks
· Products
· Fashion, textiles, jewellery, accessories
· Furniture and lighting

Organiser's name: Dalsouple

Cost of entry: free
Deadline: 31 March 1999

Prizes: One overall winner will receive £1000 plus a Dalsouple floor for a room in their home. Category winners will receive a specially commissioned Dalsouple award. Winners will be exhibited on the Dalsouple stand at the 100% Design show in London, September 1999.

Judges:
Tim Gaukroger, Managing Director, Dalsouple UK:
Aidan Walker, Editor FX Magazine,
Jim Hamilton, Graven Images Design Consultancy;
Nicholas Winton, jewellery consultant, former Managing Director Theo Fennell.

Notes:
Dalsouple are specialist manufacturers of rubber for floors and other surfaces. Entries do not have to use Dalsouple material - any form of rubber will do. Entries may use a tiny amount of rubber incorporated in a larger design, or be made entirely of rubber. The competition will be judged on creativity, innovative design, functionality and aesthetic appeal. Entrants are encouraged to let their talents run wild and feel free to have some fun!

Winning and selected entries will be exhibited at the National AIA Convention in Dallas, Texas in May, 1999, and published in a competition summary booklet to be produced by the AIA.

Challenge:
DuPont is pleased to announce the seventh in a series of competitions on the innovative use of laminated glass. This competition will challenge architecture students to design a high school for approximately 2,000 students on a given site or on a site of their choosing. The competition will encourage faculty to include the study of safety glass as a building material and address the use of this material in a theoretical design problem. As security, access, natural daylighting, and a response to environmental concerns are becoming more significant considerations in the design of educational facilities, the use of laminated glass is most appropriate and highly encouraged. Product resource material will be available to all schools that register. Students will be challenged to address architectural issues while exploring the various uses and applications of laminated glass as a building material. Criteria for judging will include the innovative, successful, and creative use of the material in >the design solution, resolution of architectural and functional criteria, >and environmental concerns.

Each entrant must have a faculty sponsor, and entries will be accepted for team as well as individual entries. Submissions are to be principally the product of work in a design studio or related class. All schools and students wishing to participate must submit registration forms to the AIA.

Dallas Young Architects/Associates Forum Design Competition
Sponsor: Dallas Young Architects

Type: open, international
Registration Deadline: March 1, 1999
Submission Deadline: April 21, 1999
Registration Fee: $35 US
Open to: Students, interns, and professionals in ALL fields of design

Awards: $1500 US Total and 3 honorable mentions
Jury: unknown

The diverse Deep Ellum neighborhood of Dallas is the site of the 1999 Dallas Young Architects / Associates Forum Design Competition.

Entrants are asked to create an architectural intervention within this context that will enhance the qualities of this downtown neighborhood. The design should explore the relationships between architecture and other art forms, between architectural principles and artistic issues. The multiple layers of duality presented in this program call for a design that 'seeks out' the in-between that which lies between the events and non-events, between sound and anti-sound, and between the edges of the street.

"...the static notions of form and function long favored by architectural discourse need to be replaced by attention to the actions that occur inside and around buildings..." --Bernard Tschumi

	HOUSING THE NEXT 10 MILLION AIA California Council Registration Deadline: January 31, 1999 Submission Deadline: May 21, 1999 Open to: All Entry Fee: $75 (More for late registration) Awards: 5 prizes of up to $20,000US each Jury: Unknown The AIA California Council is pleased to announce the development of an innovative open ideas competition, beginning November 1998. The goal of the competition is to explore ways for California's Central Valley to absorb another 10-14 million residents by the year 2040 through the design of new habitation models that are less land intensive and which will also support urban design implementation tools. The results of this competition will be used to help local decision makers deal more effectively with the enormous projected growth of California's Central Valley in a manner that conserves the rich ecological and agricultural assets of the Valley -- one of the world's great resources. The Competition's challenge is to find ways to accommodate the additional 10-14 million people with new housing and development types while recognizing the changing demographics and socio-economic realities of the Central Valley. The Competition will enable decision makers, developers, property owners, and the public to understand the consequences, opportunities and trade-offs of current growth models and to become aware of the potentials of alternative development patterns that use land more efficiently within the context of California's physical, cultural and political environment. The Competition Schedule calls for the Competition to begin in January 1999 with submissions due in late May 1999 to coincide with the annual conference of the Great Valley Center to be held on May 26 & 27, 1999, in Sacramento where the public exhibit and Jury Review will be conducted. A registration fee of $75.00 (US) will be required to enter the Competition. This fee may be waived upon request of an instructor whose class is planning to enter the Competition (one waiver per class). Competition Registration Forms will be available in November 1998.

	SCALE : Young Architects Forum Sponsor: Architectural League of New York Registration Deadline: February 1, 1999 Submission Deadline: February 1, 1999 Open to: Residents of United States, Canada and Mexico that are ten years or less out of architecture school (no students) Entry Fee: $20 US Award: $1000 US Jury: Frank Lupo, Donna Robertson, Bernard Tschumi, Jody Pinto, Karl Jensen, Victoria Meyers, Yoshiko Sato Theme: The abstraction and perception of scale are primary to the design and experience of architecture. Concepts of scale may be understood through proportional relationships but are also informed by immeasurable sensations, phenomena and events. As technology increasingly fosters the creation of virtual worlds, experience and perception are, potentially, increasingly disembodied. Does this realm of dematerialized experience also affect our understanding of scale? What are the critical issues which pertain to scale and its possible modes of representation? How do your methods of design affect the possibilities for scale in your work? Submission requirements: The competition theme is given as a basis for young architects and designers to reflect upon their work. A written statement not to exceed 250 words is requested, which defines and considers the work. A single portfolio, which may include several projects, must be submitted in a binder no larger than 11"x14". The binder may no contain more than thirty double-sided pages. Models, slides and transparencies are not acceptable. Videos must be in VHS format and no longer than five minutes. Eligibility: Entrants may submit work done independently, or as an employee, or as a teacher. Work completed for fulfillment of course requirements at academic institutions is not eliglible. Work done as an employee must be accompanied by a letter from a principal in the firm stating that the entrant can be given sole credit for the work submitted.

subject
The word "(pronounced amu)" is used in sentences like "interlacing yarn", "braiding" and "compiling a book",and it means the intertwinging of different things into one. The purpose of defining the theme of this Competition as "intertextuality" in English is to relate diverse things with each other and intertwine them into a global concept.

Intertwining of different textures(materials), cultures, generations, sensitivities and ways of thinking transforms a line into a plane and then into a solid, bringing about dimensional change. These different things touch and overlap each other, which transforms their relation, and then turn into unknown textures, sensitivities, ways of thinking, or networks not of the original nature.

Intertwining of things of different natures comprises something flexible, light and strong, because, compared with a lump of the homogeneous substance, the created substance has a properly spaced twist arrangement. Furthermore, these things can be re-twined at any time, if they loosen.

Categorie: Architecture et Urbanisme
Organisateur: International foundation of the Canadian Center for Architecture
Type: Competition sur invitation ( 5 équipes sélectionnées )

Date limite d'inscription: Les candidatures doivent être reçues avant le 15 janvier 1999
éligibilité: Ouvert a tous.
Pas de frais d'inscription.

Prix:
50 000$CAN pour les cinq équipes sélectionnées.

Le projet primé par le jury recevra le Prix de la FICCA pour la conception des villes, d'une valeur de 100 000 $CAN

Site:

Le site choisi pour le premier concours se trouve à New York. Il s'agit d'un secteur situé à l'ouest de l'île de Manhattan et limité à l'est par 8th Avenue, à l'ouest par le fleuve Hudson, au nord par 34th Street et au sud par 30th Street. L'infrastructure urbaine existante et la présence de bâtiments imposants déterminent la forme et l'importance du site. Ce sont, notamment :
un faisceau de voies ferrées empruntées par les trains des sociétés Amtrak, New Jersey Transit et Long Island Railroad; des voies d'accès et des branches de sortie desservant le Lincoln Tunnel; le futur parc devant longer West Street et l'Hudson.

D'autres bâtiments proches du site sont aussi d'une importance majeure. Il s'agit du Madison Square Garden, du Jacob Javits Convention Center, de la gare routière Port Authority et, surtout, de la nouvelle gare terminus construite à l'intérieur du Farley Post Office (et devant remplacer les installations souterraines de Pennsylvania Station).

Le résultat est une rencontre dynamique entre des structures monumentales, de vastes réseaux de circulation et les éléments de la trame urbaine new-yorkaise.

Submission Deadline: Nominations must be received by 15 January 1999.

Open to: Anyone from anywhere
Entry Fee: None.

Awards: 50 000$CAN to the five teams selected. The winning scheme, selected by the jury, will receive the IFCCA Prize for the Design of Cities, and an award of $100,000CAN.

Site: The project will focus on an area on the western edge of Manhattan, New york, USA, bounded by 8th Avenue on the east, the Hudson River on the west, 34th Street on the north, and 30th Street on the south. Urban infrastructure and large-scale buildings dictate the shape and importance of the site, notably: an open railway cut and storage yards for Amtrak, New Jersey Transit, and the Long Island Railroad; approaches and exit-ways to the Lincoln Tunnel; and the future West Street and Hudson River Park.

Additional buildings just beyond the boundaries of the site, which include Madison Square Garden, the Jacob Javits Convention Center, the Port Authority Bus Terminal, and most importantly the new railway terminus built within the Farley Post Office (designed to succeed the existing subterranean Pennsylvania Station) are also of obvious importance. The result is a dynamic encounter between monumental structures, large-scale circulation systems, and the armatures of the New York City grid.

Theme The International Foundation for the Canadian Centre for Architecture (IFCCA) is creating a prize that recognizes innovative contributions to the design of cities. Awarded every three years through a design competition, the prize invites architecture's most forward-looking practitioners to propose initiatives for urban areas around the world. The competition challenges architects to think of the city as a place both vital and inspiring, by considering the role of large-scale infrastructure and the smaller, urban spaces of everyday life.

A hypothetical International Student Center to open on the eve of the new millennium on the grounds of the Millennium Dome, Greenwich, England.

The fictional center will appropriately be a membrane structure, which each student or student group entrant will design. Students may design a tent, air or tensile structure, a hybrid of these existing applications or something entirely new.

The structure must serve several functions and include a significant entryway that could serve as a landmark for visitors. An area for International Student Association members to check in, including a members lounge, rest rooms and changing facilities. A larger social gathering space (with room for occasional exhibits or displays) and a separate auditorium to seat 500 people is also required. Appropriately-sized restroom facilities, support and storage spaces should accompany these areas.

Designs should account for lighting, acoustical, electrical, heating, ventilating and other mechanical and support systems. If the membrane structure is temporary, students must consider how it is to be constructed without permanently altering the site; if permanent, students must incorporate sustainable architecture concepts into the design and construction of the membrane structure.

Brief:
On the occasion of Louis Poulsen's 125th anniversary on 12 February 1999, we are inviting students from schools of architecture and design all over the world to submit their design proposals for office lighting of the future.

The theme of the international competition is office lighting and its title asks a question: "Where does light originate?". Entries should include participants' proposals for optimal lighting of reception and conference rooms, hallways and stairways as well as desk lighting etc.

The competition programme emphasises that participants must consider the nature of light itself as well as its use. Participants may submit proposals for a specific light fitting, a family of light fittings, a conceptual design or may consider light from a theoretical point of view.

Invitations to participate in the open competition will be sent to 12 countries where Louis Poulsen is represented through its lighting subsidiaries, i.e. Denmark, Australia, England, Finland, France, Holland, Japan, Norway, Switzerland, Sweden, Germany and the USA. The competition has been arranged in collaboration with the Federation of Danish Architects.

Louis Poulsen has over the years arranged many lighting competitions and several of its well-known light fittings are in fact award winners.

The panel of judges will include Lighting Director of Louis Poulsen in Denmark, Mr Hans-Erik Wolff who will be the panel chairman, British designer Ross Lovegrove M des RCA FCSD and Danish architects and designers Mette Kynne Frandsen MAA, Alfred Homann MAA, MDD and Jens Ammundsen MAA, MDD.

The total award sum is DKK 250,000, the winner receiving DKK 50,000 and the minimum award being DKK 10,000. All awards will be paid out in the form of travel scholarships.

The competition will be announced on 31 August 1998 and on 1 December 1998 all entries must have been submitted to the schools whose staff will select five entries to be sent to Copenhagen on or before 8 January 1999 for participation in the final competition.

The award ceremony and an exhibition of the entries will take place on 12 February 1999, Louis Poulsen's anniversary. The award winners will be invited to take part in the ceremony. Further information is available from project manager Vibeke Mogensen, Louis Poulsen on phone + 45 31 31 11 66.

The Competition Jury will be comprised of design professionals and may include City and community representatives. Each team will have an opportunity to make an oral presentation of their designs to the Jury, City staff, City Council and the community prior to the Jury's recommendation of a winning design to the City Council. The City Council will make its decision on the winning design based on recommendations of the Jury and input from City staff and the community. The competition winner will receive the opportunity to negotiate a contract for the requisite professional services to implement the winning design with the City.

The tentative competition schedule indicates that Qualifications are due in November 1998; Finalists will be selected in December; the Competition will begin early in January 1999; Submissions will be due in mid February with oral presentations and selection of the winner at the end of February.

CYBORG CITY: MECHANICAL ISLANDS OF NYC
Sponsor: USA Institute, New York City

Type: International, open
Eligibility: Practitioners who completed their terminal university degree during the past ten years, students of architecture, urban design, landscape and interior design.

Prize: $3,000US and grants
Entry Fee: $150US

Registration Deadline: November 15, 1998
Submission Deadline: February 25, 1998

Jury:

Gaetano Pesce - New York,
Dan Hanganu - Montreal Canada,
Vincenzo Pavan - Verona Italy,
Abraham Zabludowski - Mexico City

Background and design problem:
The subject matter is artificial islands for New York rivers and bays. The need for artificial islands has recently become a burning issue with New York City. By extension, the competition questions the role and use of materials, a determinant factor not only in the livability of our cities, but in the changing meaning they acquire as we move into the next millenium. Cities of the past were built using the materials close at hand and, as such, an extension of nature. Today's Metropolis is increasingly built from materials uprooted from their place of origin and transported great distances to the final construction site. Such displacement is only a prelude to the invention and use of materials that do no exist in nature - steel, plastics, special ceramics, special patterns of scanning, corridors of microwave radiation, and various forms of virtual reality. The body of the Metropolis continues to be transformed by its materials into an organism existing in nature, yet grafted onto it, and becoming more and more separate from it.

Presentation requirements:
A maximum of 3 vertically composed flat unmounted plates 24"x36", black and white only. Color is allowed only in photos of optional models. A narrative of 250 words.

AIMS OF THE "CONFRONTATION"
As pointed out in the Istanbul Declaration, human beings are today confronted by an increasing deterioration of their shelters and environment. The improvement of their living conditions, in the perspective of sustainable development will be one of the main preoccupations of the next century. The Congress Scientific Committee advises schools of architecture and their students participating in this confrontation, to refer to the Istanbul Declaration on Human Settlements, the principles of which may serve as a guideline and design framework in the development of their projects.

Program
Competitiors are invited to design a housing project in a city of their choice in their home countries. The project may be either a reconstruction of an old area or a new urban development on a specific existing site
within a real social economic context, the analysis of which will determine the design approach as well as the orientation and elements of the program. Through their architectural and urban proposal, participants should:
- Respond to the end-user population
- Take into account the economic reality of the inhabitants of the area chosen
- Include domestic facilities corresponding to the needs of the community
- Integrate their proposal into the urban fabric
- Adopt an ecologically healthy and progressive approach
- Propose solutions that are realistic in terms of feasibility, construction and materials

"The most interesting aspect of the competition is that relies entirely on Internet technologies for the submission of entries and the jury review. Competitors will submit design proposals as web pages accessible by Internet browsers. The jury will review design submissions solely over the Internet."

Subject
the competition calls for design of a library existing in physical or electronic environments, or in both, as a "cybrid" building. While the site, physical size and details of the library program are at the discretion of the designer, the minimum programmatic requirements are set. They are based on a conventional library program and may be used to design a physical solution for this competition. Library proposals, intended to be spatial simulations, must justify ways in which their cyberspaces satisfy the program. Similarly, designers submitting "cybrid" libraries must decide which program elements should be physical and which virtual or "cybereal." The degree to which the "cybrid" solution is physical is up to the designer

It is open to architects or students of architecture and related subjects. 1. The Award is intended to enable a specific and self-contained project to be carried out and not be part of a larger undertaking for which other funding is required, unless the need for additional financial support is of a minor nature. 2. Candidates have to satisfy the Award Committee that they are profoundly dedicated to their project, and that the work is technically feasible and within the scope of what one person can complete within one year. 3. Special attention will be given to how rational or systematic applicants are in their approach, and to any significant educational, cultural or social benefit which may result from the study. See also: note on Anthony Pott 4. In the case of candidates wishing to use the Award for research, rather than for the publication of completed work, they will have to demonstrate in their application either: a) some pre-knowledge of the proposed field of study; or b) that they are sufficiently competent to undertake new work. 5. The Award may be applied to the continuation of studies (but not for payment of tuition fees) if it is clearly shown that these are likely to break new ground. 6. The successful candidate will have to give an undertaking to produce a piece of work or give a lecture within a year of receiving the Award. 7. Applications must be in English and restricted to four pages of typescript giving and stating: a) an outline of the proposed program and its clear aims and objectives b) an estimate of cost c) a timetable for the work d) a curriculum vitae e) and the name and address of at least one reference who is acquainted with the candidate's work.

Previous awards have been made for studies on: - Sun and wind breaks and consequent air flow effects - The compilation and distribution of building manuals for the Republic of Botswana - Iranian vernacular architecture - The potential for housing development of small neglected sites in urban areas - Early tubular steel technology - Conservation survey of Zanzibar Old Stone Town - Eric Gunnar Asplund's contribution to modern architecture - Masted architecture - Low-cost housing in developing countries - Building technology in the South Sea islands - The buildings of Ludwig Leo and the idea of usefulness Anthony Pott was a student at the AA from 1933 to 1938. After five years as senior architect at the Building Research Station, he joined the Ministry of Education in 1949 as principal architect to the newly-formed Development Group and was chief architect at the Ministry from 1956 until his death in 1963. He had a clear, incisive mind, practical and outward-looking. Quick to recognize ability in others, he was equally quick to discern pretentiousness, humbug and woolly thinking, and could expose them mercilessly but without rancour. Not himself a scientist, his manner of thought was essentially scientific, and he applied it in architecture to useful purposes. He stood for architectural honesty, and was a great admirer of Lethaby, whose dictum 'Design . . . should be just the appropriate shaping and finish for the thing required' was central to his attitude towards architecture. He agreed with Lethaby that 'The enemy is not science, but vulgarity, a pretence to beauty at second hand.' He used his constructive talents to guide and support others in these attitudes, and did so from central positions where at that time he rightly judged his efforts could be most effective.

A DESIGN COMPETITION FOR PIER 40

Category: Architecture and urban design
Type: Ideas competition in one phase
Sponsors: Community Board #2, Van Alen Institute, New York City

Prize: ?
Registration deadline: August 17, 1998
Submission deadline: September 17, 1998

Submission Format:
All entries shall be presented on two 30"x40" boards

Jury: see web site

Entry fee: $25 check payable to Community Board 2, Manhattan Special Account, along with your name, mailing address, phone number and e-mail (if applicable) to Pier 40 Design Competition, Community Board 2, Manhattan, 3 Washington Square Village, Suite 1-A, New York, NY 10012

Subject:
Community Board 2, Manhattan has historically opposed commercial options for the pier, calling for an open-space green park on the pier, with the demolition of the existing building. To date, the Board has endorsed a plan put forth by the Federation to Preserve the Historic Greenwich Village Waterfront and Great Port which clearly articulates an open green space park with active and passive recreation uses. The plan was developed by landscape architect George Vellonakis in 1993 at the request of the Federation.

To further illustrate its commitment to an open-space green park on Pier 40, Community Board 2, Manhattan would like to take the lead in exploring additional design concepts that would accomplish this goal. To this end, Community Board 2, Manhattan is soliciting input from the many talented landscape architects, architects, designers and residents in our community and elsewhere. The purpose of the competition is to promote dialogue, discussion and awareness in the community as it relates to the future of Pier 40.

Program
Entrants are asked to design an open-space, green park for Pier 40. The program enumerated in the plan currently endorsed by Community Board 2, Manhattan calls for: a continuous waterfront promenade along the perimeter of the pier, and passive and active recreation such as a running track, soccer field, basketball courts, and an elliptical open green divided into a baseball field, softball fields and a Little League field. Entrants are asked to use this program as a point of departure.

Community Board 2, Manhattan encourages entries which further explore the concept of an open green park. Entrants may propose strategies which differ from the Community Board's position. Designs may include the partial retention or redesign of the existing structure and/or the incorporation of a limited amount of revenue-producing activities. The jury will evaluate whether such designs enhance an otherwise open green park and the extent to which they enable or hinder park users' ability to relate to the Hudson River.As part of the design submission, entrants should display proof of serious consideration to the types of plantings and materials which would be suitable to this environment.

In addition, Community Board 2, Manhattan is seeking written ideas that may make us rethink and redesign the role of Pier 40 within the proposed Hudson River Park. To this end, entrants are asked to submit ideas and written concepts only on a maximum of five (5) single-side pages (8/12 by 11) in English. All other rules (except for the entry fee) and requirements relevant to the design competition will apply.

Subject :
Urban Housing Plus: Integrated Urban Development Solutions The 1997-98 ACSA/Otis Elevator International Student Design Competition will challenge students from all regions of the world to propose urban development schemes integrating midrise housing (five stories and taller) within an existing urban infrastructure, emphasizing mixed-used potential and the socioeconomic and physical needs of the resident population in the students' region. Design solutions that look at master planning as well as the development of specific plan elements are encouraged (though not required); this may take the form of two-tiered programs over the course of one or two semesters, of a more integrated exploitation of multi-disciplinary teamwork. The incorporation of vertical and horizontal transportation networks, adapting and/or augmenting the existing service infrastructure, should figure as a major consideration in the design.

Entries may be a model or drawing or combination, but they must be constructed for portability.

Submissions must indicate where the sites are located in the city.

Maximum weight of any single entry is to be no more than 15 pounds.

Subject :
In the last thirty years, Vancouver's waterfront has dramatically changed from a site supporting a resource based economy, to an area of leisure, tourism and housing. The completion of the mega-projects at Coal harbour, the Bayshore lands, Concord Pacific, Southeast False Creek (from Cambie to Main) and the port lands east of Canada Place will create a water front connected with a pedestrian promenade from Main Street to Kits Beach, and virtually to Wreck Beach. Vancouver will have the longest uninterrupted seawall on the West Coast - if not all of North America - when a new Seawall is built on the shore of southeast False Creek. It will be the most important public space in Vancouver for the next 100 years. Entrants are to choose their own site or sites. The boundaries of possible sites will be from Wreck Beach to the Second Narrows Bridge. Entrants may choose any site (or sites) that is (or will be in the foreseeable future) part of the publicly accessible waterfront within the limits of the City of Vancouver. The waterfront is at the heart of Vancouver's identity as both a port city and as a centre of leisure the water's edge is the locus of a century of dramatic historical change, and was the place where native villages were located for the past 3,000 years. The linear public space of the waterfront and the seawall is unique in that it is peripheral to its city centre, and therefore in sharp distinction to the traditional idea of the central "civic square"; our citizens gather less at the public spaces of Vancouver's centre, than at the liminal zone between the city and the sea. The seawall connects disparate neighborhoods, divides the natural and the man-made, and defines a course of movement. As a linear boundary surrounding Vancouver, it is a dynamic and active space. The water's edge is the place where we go to walk, jog, bike, blade, and sunbathe. It is area where we work, eat, commute, disembark and set off on journeys.

Design an intervention that will:
1.) Engage, involve, or touch the water.
2.) Accommodate a practical need.

Subject : Over the last thirty years the West Garfield Park/North Lawndale community, four miles west of the heart of Chicago, has undergone severe disinvestment with little new construction. Since the late 1960’s, many dilapidated structures have been demolished, although concentrations of historically important buildings remain to provide an anchor for the strong community-based-and private development initiatives currently underway. Westside Habitat for Humanity is making a significant contribution to those revitalization efforts. The challenge is to produce design ideas for model infill housing for the habitat target area within this community.
