Axis Civitas

Registration Deadline:  Friday, Jun 26, 20151:30 PMEDT

Submission Deadline:  Friday, Jul 31, 20151:30 PMEDT

(**UPDATE 2: The registration deadline is extended to June 26, 2015. The submission deadline is July 31, 2015.)

Axis: a partnership; the central part about which a network is arranged.

Civitas: citizenship, especially as imparting shared responsibility, a common purpose, and sense of community.

INTRODUCTION


Gowanus by Design presents its third international design competition, “Axis Civitas.” The two-component competition asks 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 their design of an Urban Field Station that is open to the public.

PURPOSE


Despite being a poster child for the negative impact of 19th and 20th century industry  and resulting toxic waterway, the Gowanus neighborhood today offers a rich diversity of  uses, demographics, history, and opportunity for growth. The Gowanus Atlas will  synthesize the area’s underlying characteristics, positive and negative, and visually  explain in the Urban Field Station how complex urban and ecological conditions can be  assessed for their impact on 21st century planning strategies. It is the goal of GbD to not  only aggregate, collect, and distribute content specific to the area, but also to reveal the  conditions that define the area in Brooklyn known as “Gowanus” and influence its  evolution.



OBJECTIVES

  1. Collect, research, synthesize, and visualize the changing conditions in and around  the Gowanus.
  2. Provide the community new resources so future decisions on growth and  development may be fully evaluated.
  3. Support the voices of various community groups in the Gowanus area.
  4. Help physically define the Gowanus neighborhood.
  5. Encourage performance-based planning strategies.
  6. Speculate on the impact of changing conditions over the next 10, 20, 50, 100, and  500 years.
