Description
The Urban Urge Awards honor the legacy of architect, educator, community advocate and urban designer Mojdeh (Moji) Baratloo (1954-2013). Through the lens of architecture, installation, and urbanism, Moji's work addressed challenges of climate change, energy, education, post-industrialization, public space, public policy, technology, waste, and water to the modern urban environment.
Moji believed in the importance of ideas and in the practice of making one’s work real, “for the experience of a human or environment.” She challenged and urged her students, friends, colleagues, and collaborators to have conversations across disciplinary or social boundaries making our cities, regions and world more livable, sustainable, enjoyable, and responsible.
The Urban Urge Awards recognize that multidisciplinary perspectives generate creative interventions to challenges of the urban environment. The Awards encourage new avenues of urban artwork, performance, installation, and support novel means of developing inquiry and generating discussion.
The Urban Urge Awards are designed to push urban and design ideas to have a realized impact in urban communities. The awards are small project grants that will fund physical and/or programmatic interventions. There are six design competition design awards (Urge and Emerge categories), and six project Seed grants. Each award or grant will support testing urban concepts and doing projects that seek to have a positive community, urban or environmental impact.
