The Finalists

Design Proposal: TREE CITY (competition winner)

Design Proposal: EMERGENT LANDSCAPES

"The subdivision of the surface of the site into major elements provides a contemporary template for a co-evolving system of mutual interconnection. Like a patchwork of non-overlapping spaces, the site, the proximity, the distribution of these patches determine the ability of the system to evolve, solve problems and cooperate, evolve, solve problems and cooperate and evolve the organizational whole in a coherent manner."

Design Proposal: EMERGENT ECOLOGIES

"The framework consists of an overlay of two complimentary organizational systems: circuit ecologies and throughflow ecologies. These systems seed the site with potential. Others will fill it in over time. We do not predict or determine outcomes; we simply guide or steer flows of matter and information."
