Annual international student design competition that Ed Bacon Committee coordinates, focusing on an urban design challenge in Philadelphia that has broad implications for cities around the globe.
This competition, conducted in the Fall, is open to university-level students in any field of study; the most successful entries tend to come from teams which include students from a range of majors, including architecture, urban planning, landscape architecture, business, public policy, and others.
Recent major advances in driverless technology mean automobiles and their infrastructures are likely to transform American cities in the coming century. What will Philadelphia look like in this future? How will roadways, sidewalks, intersections, signage, traffic signals, and the relationship between buildings, roadways, pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles change? We challenge university-level students to re-imagine the right of way occupied by intelligent automobiles and the associated impact on urban design.
Pre-Registrants will receive the official competition challenge and rules via email on the day the competition launches (October 04, 2013).
