A “ lost spaces” is any space that remains under-utilized within our urban environment. They might be leftover pieces, a ghost of the planning past. Lost spaces are part of the public realm, rarely designed to function with both social and environmental benefit to the city.
- Eligibility.- The Lost Spaces competition is open to anyone including architects, artists, designers, engineers, and students.
You may consider a lost space as a passageway, a roundabout, space between two buildings, a highway shoulder, or tenants of the city’s history and memory. We’d like to ask you to dream, take risks and stretch what we think is possible.
- Registration and questions deadline March 20, 2015. Submissions are due March 30, 2015. (23:59 MDT)
