IRS990/Desc0CompetitionsFor 120 years, we have been organizing inventive design competitions that shape the built environment. We see the design competition as a vehicle to mobilize people across disciplines to develop innovative approaches to complex social, cultural, and ecological challenges around the world. In 2017, we organized projects including the Opportunity Space Festival in Malmo, Sweden, constructing a temporary pavilion and facilitating programs that brought refugees and residents together to gain skills to enter the job market and imagine more socially and economically inclusive cities; Urban SOS: hOUR City student competition; the Justice In Design project, a research challenge to reimagine our citys future jail infrastructure; and initiated Keeping Current, a multi-year series of competitions to address sea level rise in South Florida.
