Design Challenge:
Moore Square is a historic, signature destination in Raleigh. It hosts a range of high-profile events with a citywide and regional draw including Downtown Live concerts, Farmers Market, Artsplosure, SparkCon, World Beer Festival, area school activities, and summer movies, to mention a few. Moore Square was not designed as a large event venue, and increasingly heavy use has created significant maintenance issues and compromised the attractiveness of the Park for citizens, workers, and visitors.
The objectives of the competition are to:
-Create a unique public space and urban experience for the 21st century;
-Engage broad public participation throughout the process and in the future; and
-Establish the conditions to develop a sustainable economic development strategy for the Moore Square area.
