Earlier this year the Van Alen Institute and New York City Council worked together to create an international open call for architects, students, and designers to reimagine the Brooklyn Bridge walkway. 

The bridge's walkway is an iconic piece of the city; however, as the pandemic quickly swept across the globe, the idea of "reimagining Brooklyn Bridge" aimed to address more than just a simple redesign. 

According to the Van Alen Institute, "As made even more clear by the pandemic, the design of our streets and shared spaces must be responsive to the present moment and work to correct past injustices. They must foster equitable, accessible, and sustainable transportation options, create a healthy and safe environment for all New Yorkers, and opportunities for small businesses and vendors to flourish."

With these new judging conditions in play, the jury selected the following six proposals to advance as finalists in the Student and Professional category. 

FINALISTS - PROFESSIONAL CATEGORY

  • Bridge X ScenesLab + Minzi Long + Andrew Nash, New York, Boston, and Vienna
  • Back to the Future BIG + ARUP, New York
  • Brooklyn Bridge Forest Pilot Projects Design Collective, Cities4Forests, Wildlife Conservation Society, Grimshaw and Silman; New York and Montreal
