Six teams of architects and landscape architects are still in the running for the 11th Street Bridge Park competition in Washington D.C. The nationwide competition is hunting for the best design to transform an old freeway bridge into D.C.'s first elevated park: the 11th Street Bridge Park
Out of more than 40 teams and 80 firms that responded to an open call for submissions this past March, the jury selected the phase-one finalists -- who have all formed into the following interdisciplinary teams below:
- Balmori Associates / Cooper, Robertson & Partners
- Piet Oudolf with Glenn LaRue Smith/PUSH Studio / WXY architecture + urban design
- OLIN / OMA
- Stoss Landscape Urbanism / Höweler + Yoon Architecture
- Wallace Roberts & Todd (WRT) / NEXT Architects
- Workshop: Ken Smith Landscape / Davis Brody Bond
Each team has also been invited for in-person interviews with the jury. Phase two of the competition will narrow the shortlist down to four teams, who will have identifed a structural engineer, lighting designer and additional experts as part of their team. The phase-two finalists will receive a $25,000 stipend to create full design renderings to be juried and evaluated for cost and constructability. Renderings of the proposals will be exhibited at the District Architecture Center, Smithsonian Anacostia Community Museum, and on the 11th Street Bridge Park’s website for public feedback.
The winning concept design is expected to be announced in mid-October of this year.
