Los Angeles - The Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc) is pleased to announce the winners of the Los Angeles Cleantech Corridor and Green District Competition. Sponsored by SCI-Arc and The Architect's Newspaper, entrants were challenged to use the competition as a forum for provocative, even revolutionary, reconceptualizations of L.A.'s urban fabric. A community celebration will be held on Saturday, October 9 at 2 p.m. in downtown Los Angeles on the SCI-Arc campus. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa predicts the Corridor will transform downtown's industrial core into an incubator for green jobs and technology and place the city at the forefront of the Cleantech revolution.
The top winners are:
Professional Category First Place Award: $5000.00
UMBRELLA by Constantin Boincean, Ralph Bertram, Aleksandra Danielak
Student Category First Place Award: $2000.00
MessyTECH by Randall Winston, Jennifer Jones, Renee Pean
"SCI- Arc came downtown to participate in the re-imagining of downtown," says, Eric Own Moss, Director of SCI-Arc. "The Cleantech discourse is an essential part of that re-imagining. Unlike most cities to which Los Angeles is often compared, we're a young city with a realistic opportunity to define and implement the next conceptual city. Let's go."
Professionals and students were invited to create an innovative urban vision for the Cleantech Corridor, a 2,000-acre development zone in downtown Los Angeles. Seventy entries were received from 11 countries. The competition was presented with the Office of the Mayor and the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Los Angeles (CRA/LA), which established the Cleantech Corridor in the fall of 2008.
