LAGI Willimantic RFQ - invited competition for energy generating public artwork

With this Request for Qualifications, Willimantic Whitewater Partnership (WWP) is launching an invited design competition to bring forward the best ideas for an energy generating public artwork within a new development at a prominent site along the Willimantic River in downtown Willimantic. The design process for the artwork should take a creative placemaking and community-oriented design approach. WWP is looking for a team who can merge the on-site renewable energy infrastructure with the landscape, the architecture, and with other environmental sustainability measures.
This request for qualifications is open to any team with one current resident of the State of Connecticut, and is targeted at creative individuals or practices working in the fields of art, design, landscape architecture, urban design, architecture, renewable energy, or related fields.
A public presentation of this RFQ and question and answer session will be held on October 11, 2017 in Willimantic from 5:30–7:30 p.m. at:
J. Eugene Smith Library
Eastern Connecticut State University
Willimantic, CT 06226

A recording of the session will be made available online.
