Design Challenge:

The ONE Prize 2013 competition aims to explore the social, economic, and ecological possibilities of urban transformation and design. In the context of a changing climate and how cities can adapt to future challenges, ONE Prize 2013 is a call to deploy ecologically sound design to mitigate storm impact through urban interventions, protective parks and shoreline, new housing and public space models. We want to reinvigorate cities physical and social infrastructure, repurpose spaces for environmental adaptation and put design in the service of the community.

The proposals can be for a real or speculative project, for one or more real sites, and located either in the U.S. or abroad, but applicable to the U.S. Further, the proposals need not be generated exclusively for this competition, provided that they address the intent of the competition.
