Connecting Market East: A National Student Design Competition
COMPETITION
The Ed Bacon Foundation is pleased to announce its second annual national student design competition. This competition is designed to challenge students across North America to focus on urban design problems, while simultaneously raising awareness of the work of Philadelphia's renowned former Planning Director, Edmund N. Bacon.
This year's competition focuses on Market East, an area of Center City Philadelphia that was significantly shaped by Bacon's planning concepts. Entrants are asked not to design or improve upon the original scheme, nor are they asked to realize Bacon's goals for the site. Instead, entrants are challenged to conceive a new and original concept for improving the site, showing awareness of its historical evolution, the site's modern users and opportunities, and keeping an eye to the future.
The total prizes are $6,000, including $2,000 for the first place winner.
