\nThe Emerging New York Architects Committee (ENYA)<\/a> of the American Institute of Architects announced the winners of its HB:BX ideas competition<\/a>, which generated concepts for an arts center that “culturally reinforces the physical connection between the Manhattan and Bronx Highbridge communities of New York City.” According to\u00a0the ENYA, the competition was\u00a0developed in cooperation with\u00a0Artists Unite<\/a> and the Bronx Museum of the Arts<\/a>, and it is meant to draw\u00a0attention to efforts to restore and reopen the bridge. Some $9,000 in prize money was given to the top three place winners, including\u00a0$1,000 to the winning student submission. There were more than 170 submissions from 43 countries.<\/p>\n

Winners include:\u00a0<\/p>\n

First\u00a0place<\/strong>: Keith VanDerSys, Marguerite Graham, Marisa Bernstein & Young-Joon Choi of Philadelphia, PA, USA. Principal, PEG office of landscape + architecture<\/a><\/p>\n

PEG describes their winning entry: “Ripple Effect is a network of social spaces organized to entwine the cultural, environmental, and historical contexts that make Highbridge unique. Our proposal is a circuit of displays, interlacing the programs of art, recreation and landscape in order to create unique or unexpected adjacencies among them.”<\/p>\n

2nd place<\/strong>: Tetsuya Kawano, Julien Boulley & Chol Pak of Paris, France.<\/p>\n

Student prize<\/strong>: Kristina Guist of Albuquerque, NM, USA.\u00a0Student of Landscape Architecture, University of New Mexico\u00a0<\/p>\n

ENYA said\u00a0the competition would\u00a0encourage\u00a0emerging architects\u00a0to look into\u00a0how to reuse existing infrastructure. The competition\u00a0asks how can\u00a0”disused historic structures” be “reprogrammed into vibrant urban centers.” Competition entrants are also\u00a0asked to examine the\u00a0relationship between “infrastructure (aqueduct, railway, highway) and it’s urban context.”<\/p>\n
