the core project international design competition.
February 7, 2012 at 4:47 pm 5 comments
“The City of Sebastopol, California, together with the Redwood Empire Chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and a group of local business sponsors, is hosting an international design competition to generate innovative ideas for renewing the city center. The overarching intent is to explore how the physical presence of the city can become a more economically thriving and aesthetically vibrant place reflective of the natural beauty of the region, and the character of the community. Submissions will explore the ways a small, northern California city can transition from its agricultural past to a lively and sustainable future.”
intriguing? definitely (especially if you know a thing or two about Sebastopol’s mission to keep business local, to keep relationships central, and to somehow manage to do so in a small town without increasing congestion).
inspiring? without a doubt.
now is the time to view and vote on over 30 submissions, from entrants world-wide, for vitalizing Sebastopol’s downtown core. welcome all to the Core Project’s big event!
