The challenge: What to do with Calgarys lost spaces? The lost spaces competition is a call for ideas to reframe how underused spaces in Calgary might be used. The aim is to address a particular challenge of public space--what to do with seemingly remnant pieces of public property. The challenge: what opportunities do lost spaces afford? A lost space is any space that remains under-utilized within our urban environment. They might be leftover pieces, a ghost of the planning past. Lost spaces are part of the public realm, rarely designed to function with both social and environmental benefit to the city. You may consider a lost space as a passageway, a roundabout, space between two buildings, a highway shoulder, or tenants of the citys history and memory. Wed like to ask you to dream, take risks and stretch what we think is possible. •January 6, 2015 - registration opens •March 20, 2015 - registration and questions deadline •March 30, 2015 - submissions due (23:59 MDT) •April 29, 2015 - winners announced Awards •1st Prize: $7,500 CAD •Five field prizes: $3,000 CAD each Fields include: Water Services, Roads and Transportation, Parks, Planning, and Public Art. •shortlist renumeration fee (up to six awarded): $1,000 CAD each A top prize and up to five (5) field prizes will be awarded.
