In June 2008, Transportation Alternatives launched the competition 21st Century Street. Partecipants to the competition should redesign the intersection between 9th Street and 4th Avenue in Brooklyn, in order to allow more space for pedestrians, cyclists and public transports.
On December 9, 2008, the results of the competition have been announced, and you can see the winners after the break.
Winning entries:
team LEVON, Streets Come Alive
Steven Nutter, Shared Space
Rogers Marvel Architects, Streets for Everyone!
Honorable Mention:
Mark Anders, A 21st Century Plan
Transportation Alternatives Staff Choice:
Degré Zéro Paysagistes, HUMUS = HUMAN
nice ones
My old building is right there! I’ve gotta say that none of these seem to practical or feasible. But let’s hope!
It would have been nice if team LEVON made the center space more active, i.e. small kiosks.
