DEADLINE 10 June - SLANT Competition for Landscape Architecture & Design

Overview of Competition
We want you to have as free a hand as possible when designing this project; therefore we are keeping the brief and the entry requirements to a minimum.

The city in question is not a real city, it has been designed solely for this competition,
and its location is not being specified.

It is a generic city that could be almost anywhere in the world and you are free to choose the country in which you would like this imaginary city to be located.

The "blanks" or "options" in the brief are deliberate, and the opportunity on offer to the entrants is that they can fill in the blanks in any way that they choose. For example you decide the country, the climate and who the citizens are likely to be.

We hope that by adopting this approach that you will feel free to demonstrate to the judges not only your planning skills, but also, equally importantly, your creative talents.

What you are being invited to do is to create a concept design for a public park, one which will not only serve the needs of the citizens of this city, but which will also aim to achieve iconic status and in so doing will enhance the international reputation of the city. You will see from the site plan that we are looking here at urban renewal, with the project being set on a vacant site in a riverside location.

This is a project of the imagination, for the imagination.
