Bucharest is a city that has been facing the problem of strays for over a decade and it has affected both the strays and the communities. In this project we provide an alternative that allows architecture to answer this so-called problem in a way that ensures the well being of the strays and provides a space of connection for the humans. # Concept Architecture Competition

Nick Falbo is proposing a new protected intersection design that would make intersections safer and less stressful than they are today.

In the glass and concrete jungle that is New York City, a patch of grass is always welcome, and a grove of tall, leafy trees is always a sight to behold.

Enes Osmani is a recent Part II graduate from Oxford Brookes University specialising in sustainable architecture. He is available for immediate employment with a practice based in London. His final project looks at the current refugee crisis in Belgrade, Serbia. The scheme sets out a series of five interventions spread across the city that attempt to develop spaces to assist refugees and help break down barriers between refugees and local communities in Belgrade.

Great example of Complete Streets along Washington Ave. in Lansing's REO Town. This road diet converted the street from 5-lanes down to 3-lanes, making room for bike lanes on both sides. Improvements were also made to the sidewalks and curb cuts at the intersections, and a mid block crossing was added with a pedestrian refuge island. Streetscaping is still underway, but will include bike parking and benches.

Today’s city planners and civic leaders favor more public parkland and recreational space on the riverfront.

The project proposes scalable urban, landscape and housing interventions that will help the neighborhoods to survive in future flood crisis, bring the community together by enhancing the public space but also to create a more sustainable modular neighborhood that considers the UN Sustainable Development Goals for 2030. #Urbandesigncompetition #Conceptarchitecturecompetition

The one mile of Lawrence Avenue between Ashland and Western avenues, through the Ravenswood neighborhood, went on a road diet this year. The diet slimmed Lawrence from four to two travel lanes, and used the extra space to create room for bike lanes, wider sidewalks, and extensive landscaping. The streetscape project right-sized this stretch of […]
