International architecture competition that invites participants to submit concepts for public art, buildings, landscape treatments, public amenities and infrastructure, or other urban design interventions that are made possible through the replacement of the elevated Highway 280 north of 16th Street with a surface boulevard. Suggested areas of focus are the parcels of land freed up by this transformation, especially along the western edge of Mission Bay, as well as the open space/landscape opportunities at the west end of Mission Creek to unify both sides of the creek. Entrants are welcome to submit concepts that explore any aspect of the transformative opportunities introduced by the freeway removal.
This competition is presented by the Center for Architecture and Design and the Seed Fund, co-sponsored by the Planning Department of San Francisco, the Architectural Foundation of San Francisco, AIA San Francisco, Studio for Urban Projects, and SPUR.
Entrants are asked to submit project plans for either One or All of the Land Parcels indicated on the Site Map; if choosing to focus solely on one land parcel, you may select any of the six. If you choose to focus on all land parcels, you must submit project plans for all six land parcels.
