Best From Around the Web: Urban Re:Vision
Re:Vision (www.urbanrevision.com) is an ambitious effort for collective thought, imagination, innovation, and determination to create a functioning sustainable urban community. It is a two-year, six-part international design competition to work out and develop a prototype for a completely sustainable city, one block at a time.
As founder Stacey Frost put it, "A block is to the city as a cell is to the human body." With that in mind, Urban Re:Vision and the city of Dallas, Texas have teamed up to create one fully sustainable city block within the city as a representation of the power of human creativity and modern technology. For once you've conquered the city block, the rest is history.
Re:Vision has so far crowned five winners out of six categories. Those categories are:
- Re:Volt - How to power a city block?
- Re:Route - How do you move people through the city?
- Re:Store - How can we create a healthier urban economy?
- Re:Connect - How to connect people to their city and each other?
- Re:Construct - From materials to people, how do you sustainably build the city?
- Re:Vision - Sustainable architecture, from the city block to the city proper and beyond.
The Re:Vision website is full of opportunities to participate as well. Read interviews or ask your own questions. Enter the Re:Vision Dallas competition. With categories in all aspects of urban planning, including construction and architecture, Urban Re:Vision has something for the remodeler or designer in everyone.
