Конкурс ежегодно проводится американским бюро Bushman Dreyfus Architects и посвящен переосмыслению общественных пространств города Шарлотсвилл. В этом году конкурсантам предстоит вдохнуть новую жизнь в городскую пешеходную аллею. Задача – объединить местных жителей, создать современное пространство, в то же время наполненное духом истории.

The 2018 BDA Prize [Charlottesville: Identity & Design] seeks proposals for a site-specific work of public art that will successfully embody the values and aspirations of a diverse community. We seek proposals from artists, architects, designers, and citizens that will offer ideas for an artistic, cultural, social, political, or ecological foundation that our community may build upon for the future.
The site for this year’s competition is the west end of Charlottesville’s downtown pedestrian mall, one of the longest pedestrian malls in the United States, designed by the acclaimed landscape architect Lawrence Halprin in 1976.
The goal of the BDA Prize and the Charlottesville: Identity & Design ideas competition is to foster community dialogue about design.
Entries are to serve as a catalyst for dialogue and discovery in our community, and will be exhibited publicly and discussed in open forums attended or led by members of the Charlottesville community, artists, designers, scholars, and our invited panel of jurors.
The BDA Prize hopes that acts of reflective making will open up the potential for a new understanding and a new expression of Charlottesville’s spirit of place and the power of public art in the 21st century.
