ReBurbia Design Competition
How to reshape suburban sprawl? If you think about it the demands of today are high. People want their McMansion on decent sized lots (which they think is 1/3 an acre, but that’s for another day). I live in Charlotte, NC where our outer beltway is over a hundred miles long and it doesn’t even begin to encircle Charlotte’s suburb. If you have errands to run, in a single day, I constantly drive 100 miles just for errands! How can we fix this?
Enter the Inhabitat / Dwell REBURBIA competition, by sending up to 5 images and a statement about your design proposal. You can submit as many entries as you like, but each individual entry should be focused on one singular design problem/solution (i.e. a McMansion farm rehab, a bicycle transportation hub, a piezoelectric, energy-generating freeway paving system). Entries will be judged on clarity of idea, usefulness of design, and visual/aesthetic appeal of renderings.
