Last year around March, I entered a design competition as part of an independent tutorial in architecture. The competition, co-sponsored by the Bronx Museum and the Design Trust for Public Space, was centered around the Grand Concourse in the Bronx, NY, and asked for anything relating to it, in any medium. I came up with a sort of socio-urbanist plan enacted using audio-visual technology. It's call LiveWired, and you can check it out on my website.
As of this summer, my proposal was selected as one of seven finalists in what turned out to be an international competition with over 200 entries. Needless to say, I'm thrilled and delighted to be included in such a select group of designs. What it means is that I'll be included in a two month long exhibition at the Bronx Museum, along with the six other finalists. I'm planning on installing some sort of example of my plan, which will hopefully start a dialogue between people in the museum and those in local businesses.
The exhibition opens on November 1st and runs until January 3rd, so if you're in the city please come and check it out!
