New Orleans Museum of Art Selected as Venue for ULI Hines Student Urban Design Competition Finale
New Orleans, LA (PRWEB) March 31, 2015 -- WHAT:
Public Forum: Urban Design Competition Finalist Presentations and Winner Announcement
Four graduate-level student teams, including two from Harvard University, one from the University of Maryland, and a joint team of students from the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee and the University of Wisconsin – Madison, will present their final proposals for the 13th annual Urban Land Institute (ULI) Hines Competition next Thursday at a public forum at the New Orleans Museum of Art (NOMA). The 2015 competition challenged multidisciplinary student teams with the task of devising a comprehensive design and development program for parts of the Tulane/Gravier and Iberville neighborhoods in downtown New Orleans.
A $50,000 prize will be presented to the winning team, and each of the remaining three finalist teams will receive $10,000.
The ideas competition, open to graduate students who are pursuing real estate-related studies at universities in North America, challenges graduate students to create proposals for the development or redevelopment of a designated site in a U.S. metropolitan area. While based on a fictional scenario, the 2015 competition addresses New Orleans’s real-life concerns of developing sustainable neighborhoods that represent the city’s uniqueness with the promise of economic innovation and inclusion, as well as access to cultural, employment, transportation, and housing resources.
