$1500 Philadelphia Design Contest
As an important part of the Education and Outreach Programs, DVGBC conducts an annual design competition to engage regional colleges and universities and young professionals in the process of sustainable design. The goal is an interactive design competition that will expose participants to sustainable design strategies, USGBC LEED criteria and an integrated design process. The competition aims to encourage the partnership of colleges, universities, design and engineering professionals, and community members in an applied learning experience. It is also targeted toward integration with the Spring college and university curriculum.
$1500 Philadelphia Design Contest Challenge:
The City of Philadelphia Parks & Recreation Department (PPR) currently oversees and operates approximately 160 recreation centers and facilities in the city of Philadelphia. Most of these recreation centers and facilities need repairs and modernization, and on-going maintenance. PPR is working with other departments and partners to make the recreation centers more energy efficient, while providing new programming and activities.
DVGBC has asked Parks & Recreation to identify four sites that meet the following criteria:
* in need of repair/site improvement
* easily accessible via mass-transit
* opportunities for energy efficiency
The challenge this year for the DVGBC Sustainable Design Competition is to re-imagine an existing urban recreation center. Starting with an existing site, teams are asked to use adaptive reuse strategies and analysis to design their vision of what a recreation center can be for the community. Consider emphasizing one of three areas that will be strongly considered during judging:
* Energy efficiency and conservation efforts
* Stormwater management on the site and other sustainable landscaping features
* Community outreach and education programs integrating the site specific connection
