Register for Boston's first Design Build Challenge The Design Build Challenge is a national design and construction competition that focuses on built responses to community needs. Started by Project Locus in New Orleans, the event will take place this year June 18 - 21st, 2009, as part of Common Boston Weekend, Boston's only free, public festival of community and design. The challenge is focused on the Common Boston festival theme of "Designing a Livable City for Families." Participants in the Design Build Challenge will have 72 hours to design and create projects that encourage community participation within a dense urban environment. Teams and individuals from around the country and from all disciplines and experience levels are encouraged to participate. Competitors will be asked to work with to-be-announced clients and sites to find design solutions addressing clients’ needs and benefitting families living in the city. The challenge aims to prove that, even when created in just three days, an influential and sustainable response to a real problem can alter our urban fabric and benefit the community. The registration deadline has been extended to June 12, 2009. Email: info@designbuildchallenge.org Hosted by:
