Cleveland Design Competition - Project 2008: interPLAY

Project 2008: interPLAY
Cleveland Design Competition

Cleveland, Ohio’s Detroit Shoreway neighborhood is changing. In the last decade, the neighborhood has seen significant investment in arts and culture, renovation of aging housing, and the replacement of lakefront industrial areas with housing and public spaces. As urban neighborhoods like Detroit Shoreway become more economically and generationally diverse, it becomes increasingly important to provide viable, active community play environments that bring together residents of different ages, classes and backgrounds. Too often, play environments are poorly planned and generically programmed. This presents an incredible opportunity for designers to invent truly imaginative play spaces that bring diverse communities together.

Project 2008: interPLAY challenges entrants to propose active and passive recreation along an existing multipurpose path that connects Cleveland’s west side neighborhoods to Edgewater Park and Lake Erie. Entrants must design an intergenerational playscape that activates the residual space around the pathway; enhancing one of Cleveland’s few pedestrian connections to the lakefront.
