開催概要

ブルックリンのゴワナス運河周辺は、かつて多くの工場が建ち並ぶ産業地帯だった。脱工業化時代を迎えたいま、都市や市民との新しいつながり方を模索している。

Description
Gowanus Crossings is an inaugural international ideas competition, which invites speculation on the value of urban development of postindustrial lands, and the possibility of dynamic, pedestrian-oriented architecture that either passively or actively engages with the canal and the surrounding watershed. This competition, the first of a series, focuses on the design of connections in and around the canal, and the residual moments around these connections.
One of Gowanus by Design’s objectives is to generate a discourse about urban issues that are currently relevant to the Gowanus Canal Community. The competition is designed to generate a spectrum of possible solutions. The jury will look for designers to explore their own design sensibilities while tackling complex urban challenges specific to the canal. The competition aims to attract the interest of a wide range of individuals (not just those within the architectural profession) on a local and international level.
The Gowanus Canal is located in the New York City borough of Brooklyn, geographically on the westernmost portion of Long Island. Connected to the Upper New York Bay, the canal borders the neighborhoods of Red Hook and Carroll Gardens to the west, Boerum Hill to the north, and Gowanus and Park Slope to the east; Sunset Park is further south along the eastern edge of the canal's outlet into the bay. There are five east-west bridge crossings over the canal, located at Union Street, Carroll Street (an historic retractile bridge), Third Street, Ninth Street, and Hamilton Avenue. The Gowanus Expressway (Interstate 278) and the IND Culver Line of the New York City Subway, the only above-ground section of the original Independent Subway System, pass overhead. Currently designated an EPA Superfund site, the canal and its surrounding neighborhoods have begun the process of a federally-guided remediation of contaminated land.
While there are no specific boundaries to work within for your proposal, the parameters for this competition could be considered to lie anywhere between the Flushing Station (northern edge) at Butler Street and the Ninth Street Bridge (southern edge), and include the uplands on either side. Entrants may choose to locate their intervention at varying east/west proximity to the canal.
