Architecture is about solving problems for people through the composition of light, space, and material. It is about embracing the way space can be sculpted to improve how we live.
It is exciting to reenvision how we gather for learning, dining, and performing. While outdoor gathering spaces are not a wholly new idea, they have become an essential way for us to connect with nature. With this design competition we are seeking your solutions for making dynamic, thoughtful, and functional outdoor spaces for gathering. We ask you to carve out public space in your town or city to accommodate public activity in fresh air. This space could be a parklet for restaurant outdoor dining, an outdoor internet lounge, or an outdoor Tik Tok performance space.
