This design competition for the historic core of the Gallaudet campus and adjacent public realm is focused on themes of cultural exchange and creative placemaking.
It will run from September 2015 to February 2016. Throughout the competition, the Gallaudet community will be participating in a number of design events, including the Shape Gallaudet launch, a colloquium or discussion, and a charrette, also known as a live design critique – see our timeline below.
The competition, which launches in September 2015, is a two-stage process. The first stage features two parallel initiatives:
Shape Gallaudet invites ideas, inspirations, sketches, images, and videos from students, staff, alumni, local residents, and supporters of Gallaudet, both international and stateside. The finest of these will be used to inform the briefing to be given to the design teams shortlisted after the first stage.
Closing date for ideas: 12:00 EDT October 1, 2015
A Request for Proposal invites applications from multidisciplinary teams of designers, landscape architects and specialists in human behavior, performing and fine arts, communication technology, wayfinding and engineering disciplines, amongst others. Can you put together (or be part of) a diverse and talented team who can create a new campus gateway and redefine Gallaudet’s urban edge as a vibrant cultural district? For more information, please read on. To find out how to submit, download our Search Statement.
Closing date for submissions: 12:00 EDT October 1, 2015
At the second stage, up to five teams will be selected to work up concept designs and briefed with materials incorporating the finest suggestions – with contributors credited and thanked – from the Shape Gallaudet initiative. The teams, Shape Gallaudet contributors, jury and other specialists will take part in the colloquium and charrette.
