Your challenge is to transform and enhance a local public space that is overlooked or poorly maintained. This transformation should be beautiful and add value to the lives of those who encounter it. We encourage you to foster social wellbeing and enhance people’s lives through your design.
Some examples might be: turning an alleyway into space for public art, rejuvenating a forgotten corner of a park, or finding new uses for underutilized parking spaces; the possibilities are endless.
As part of your competition entry, you must gather feedback from the community who will use the space. This feedback is core to designing something that is not only beautiful but also functional for those who interact with it everyday.
Engage is a new tool created for designers, like you, to simplify the process of gathering feedback. You’ll use it to harness the wealth of knowledge within your community and gather important insights.
Join this competition and explore how community engagement can shape spaces that inspire, connect, and enrich lives.
