Festival of Architecture: AAA Public Good Design Competition

 
 

If you missed the briefing session; don’t worry you can still enter.

 

Here you will find a contour plan of the site, an aerial photo and a couple of pdfs with the full briefing and further background information.

 

There are no format rules for your submission but at the very least we need a media-friendly plan and an image that will communicate your vision to the public.

 

We are looking for a new urban design vision that reimagines this area, reclaimed from traffic, better accommodating pedestrians, cycles, mixed use development and medium to high density housing. You are encouraged to find a new and more people-friendly use for some of the more sculptural parts of the flyover.

 

Don’t worry too much about boundaries, zoning and current Council rules: we are after a vision that will capture the imagination of the public and politicians and could be brought to life by an urban development agency.

 

Deadline for hand-in is 10-12 noon, Saturday 28 September with an exhibition event later that day where you will get the chance to talk about your work. Keep an eye on this site for more news.
