DESIGN CHALLENGE: The Los Angeles Forum for Architecture and Urban Design proposes
DINGBAT 2.0, an open, single-stage, international design competition,
reconsidering Los Angeles? ubiquitous dingbat apartment building for
the 21st century. All designers, architects, artists,
engineers, students, and other interested parties are fully eligible
for participation in this competition.
This is an ideas competition that calls for the consideration of two
design issues regarding the Dingbat and it?s impact on the urban fabric
of Los Angeles. Two boards (digital-only submittal) will be required
for the competition. One board will address the typology of the Dingbat
at the scale of the individual building (are they to be retrofitted?
replaced?), and the second board will consider the larger urban scale
of an entire city block within a ?Dingbat neighborhood?. Three
separate sites in three distinct Los Angeles neighborhoods will be
considered for the competition.WEBSITE: http://www.laforum.org/content/competitions/dingbatsSCHEDULE:April 1: Competition announcementApril 12: Complete Competition Brief availableMay 31: Registration period endsJune 4: Submission deadlineJune 12: JuryJune 19: Winners announced + ExhibitionPRIZES:PROFESSIONAL:
