HB:BX Building Cultural Infrastructure Competition
HB:BX is an open international ideas competition to design an arts
center that culturally reinforces the physical connection between the
Manhattan and Bronx Highbridge communities of New York City. This
competition is hosted by the Emerging New York Architects Committee
(ENYA), AIA New York Chapter, in cooperation with Artists Unite and the
Bronx Museum of the Arts, and it is meant to draw awareness to the
current efforts to restore and reopen the bridge. This competition is a
forum to explore the urban and community improvement that may come with
the achievement of such a momentous milestone. Thus, ENYA challenges
emerging architects and designers to explore how disused historic
structures can be reprogrammed into vibrant urban centers. Competition
entrants are also challenged to rethink the relationship between
infrastructure (aqueduct, railway, highway) and it's urban context.
These architectural issues, universally relevant to any growing city,
take on a more site-specific nature when considering the historic
importance of the High Bridge and the topographic challenge posed by
the steep riverbanks of the Harlem River. Also grounding this
competition to itslocal context are the unique clients who ask the
entrants to reconsider architecture's role in the creation, displaying
of and experience of art. The competition expects entrants to use the
program as a connector to bridge the ideological gap between such two
different arts organizations as Artists Unite and the Bronx Museum of
the Arts with the local residents.
Another one of ENYA's objectives is to generate a discourse about
universal urban issues that are currently relevant in New York City.
The competition is designed to generate a spectrum of possible
solutions. To achieve this goal, entries will be judged upon the
following loose criteria:
Does the entry attempt the unexpected and redefine boundaries?Is implementation of the program and fulfillment of the programmatic and site objectives evident in the building form?Does the proposal maximize the unique setting and location of the site?
