Winners announced for Gowanus urban design competition
Gowanus by Design recently announced the winner of its design competition, “Axis Civitas.” The proposals ranged from ziplines to mobile labs and represented architects and planners from all over the world.
A jury consisting of New York City architects, landscape architects and city planners met in the Lower Manhattan offices of Rogers Partners to judge the many entries.
The proposals came in response to a two-component competition that had asked participants to first map and present conditions relevant to the Gowanus area in a Gowanus Atlas, and second to use that analysis as the basis for a design of an Urban Field Station that would be open to the public.
