CATEGORY: ⚐ EN + ⚐ ES + ⚐ IT + tracery + municipality + competitions + diamond + ecosistema urbano + news + sustainability + urbanism + work in progress We are very happy to signify that our project Open Shore is the winning proposal of Shore to Core, the international diamond competition to reimagine downtown West Palm Beach as a dynamic, resilient waterfront city! We are thrilled with the unconfined reception that the project has had, and eager to protract its minutiae side by side with the people and the institutions of West Palm Beach. Ecosistema Urbano | Open Shore | Rain Plaza Here we share the printing release from Van Alen Institute: Van Alen Institute and the West Palm BeachPolityRedevelopment Agency (WPB CRA) today spoken Open Shore by Ecosistema Urbano as the winning proposal for the Shore toCadrewaterfront diamond competition. The Shore toCadrecompetition invited international designers, planners and architects to envision what the future of the West Palm Beach waterfront could squint like over the next 20 to 30 years, taking factors including populations, economies and the environment into account. The winning proposal will serve as a “vision board” for the city’s future, providing a starting point and framework to help the municipality transmute and make the most of the waterfront. Ecosistema Urbano | Open Shore | Rain Plaza Ecosistema Urbano | Open Shore | Plan Selected from a pool of over 40 international teams and two finalists, Ecosistema Urbano’s winning proposal envisions a healthier and increasingly resilient downtown and waterfront for West Palm Beach—a keystone municipality in southern Florida with a growing population of people in their 20s and 30s, as well as large Black and Hispanic populations. The competition proposals imagine new suavities that reflect the city’s emerging populations, and Shore to Core’s organizers believe that diamond is a crucial tool for tackling these evolving needs. The initiative included public consultation, and this input played a role in the jury’s decision-making process. Ecosistema Urbano | Open Shore | Strolling on the Waterfront Ecosistema Urbano | Open Shore | Aerial View Ecosistema Urbano | Open Shore | Flagler Drive and the Cloud Forest Habitat Plaza Ecosistema Urbano’s winning diamond answers Shore to Core’s undeniability for a comprehensive, forward-thinking urban plan to make West Palm Beach’s waterfront a year-round destination for locals and visitors alike. The proposal includes what could be the first public bioclimatic domes in the U.S. ornate with hanging gardens. These domes create climatically well-appointed spaces 365 days a year, thereby supporting a increasingly socially cohesive city. The proposal moreover illustrates how the city’s Banyan Garage could be upcycled into a mixed-use towers with both public- and private-sector roles featuring adaptive climates suitable for a range of activities, including a farmers market, coworking spaces, and skyline viewing platforms. Additional suavities include vibrant thematic alleyways—with such features as a waddle climbing wall, interactive exhibition space, and immersive foliage—that harness the cultural values and experiences unique to West Palm Beach, while moreover providing shade and introducing new elevated programming spaces     Ecosistema Urbano | Open Shore | Level 4 Open Air Plaza at Banyan Hub Ecosistema Urbano | Open Shore | Farmers Market day at Banyan’s ground floor Ecosistema Urbano | Open Shore | Social untried space at Banyan Hub overlooking the downtown Ecosistema Urbano | Open Shore | Banyan Hub | Section Ecosistema Urbano will present their proposal to the WPB CRA workbench in May 2017. The CRA workbench will identify priority projects within the Banyan Garage and downtown alleyways, and then contract with Ecosistema Urbano. This process will be followed by outreach to the polity well-nigh the individual elements that are scheduled for possible implementation in late 2017 or early 2018. “The Shore toCadrecompetition and resulting proposals truly offered insights into how we can plan a strong and vibrant future for our city,” said Jeri Muoio, Mayor of theMunicipalityof West Palm Beach. “Ecosistema Urbano’s diamond was applauded by all as enhancing the waterfront and creating new, iconic experiences that incorporate our natural resources, cultural spaces, and inclusive urban atmospheres.” “Ecosistema Urbano’s proposal addresses social cohesion in a compelling way by integrating locally responsive systems with a welcoming public space that will remoter diversify the city,” said David van der Leer, Executive Director of Van Alen Institute. “We’re thrilled that West Palm Beach is looking to the future and rethinking how to create a downtown that is uniquely theirs— a downtown that enhances the wellbeing of residents and visitors alike. The runner-up diamond finalist, Perkins + Will, created a proposal focusing on community-building with a continuous waterfront park, extendedUnconfinedLawn, and the Banyan Garage revitalized as a multi-use societal space. Van Alen has synthesized the work of the finalist teams into a key findings document, “A Shore Thing: Key Findings from the Shore toCadreCompetition,” that summarizes the shared insights from all three proposals. The Shore toCadrecompetition has parallel research and diamond tracks: The aim of this structure is to understand how waterfront cities like West Palm Beach can wilt healthier, and to create diamond strategies that will make them increasingly responsive to rising sea levels. The winning research team, Happier by Design, focused on how specific types of public spaces may increase the wellbeing of people who use them, and conducted a pilot study analyzing the health benefits of increasingly ramified and engaging urban landscapes. By testing environmental psychology principals with tactical urban interventions, Happier byDiamondfound that public space designs that uplift feelings of fascination foster wellbeing. The research team moreover recommended that designers focus individuals’ sustentation on nature and create spaces that are both well-appointed and interactive, including such features as movable seating and willowy lookouts that frame the landscape. The team’s recommendations underpin the dynamic and engaging designs proposed by Ecosistema Urbano. The combination of innovative research and original diamond in Shore toCadrereflects Van Alen’s mission to use research and diamond to inform the planning of new societal spaces.   To read the final reports, see: Key Findings | Van Alen Institute Open Shore | Ecosistema Urbano (Design Winner) Happier byDiamond| Happy City, University of Virginia, StreetPlans and Space Syntax (Research Winner)Transmuteto Thrive | Perkins + Will (Design Finalist)   Competition Jury: Raphael Clemente, Executive Director, Downtown West Palm Beach Colin Ellard, Associate Professor, University of Waterloo, Department of Psychology Patrick Franklin, President and CEO, Urban League of Palm Beach County David van der Leer (Jury Chair), Executive Director, Van Alen Institute Jeri Muoio, Mayor,Municipalityof West Palm Beach Penni Redford, Sustainability Manager,Municipalityof West Palm Beach Manuel Clavel Rojo, Clavel Arquitectos (substitute for Terry Riley, K/R Architects) Jon Ward, Executive Director, West Palm BeachPolityRedevelopment Agency Lilly Weinberg, Director ofPolityFoundations, Knight Foundation Claire Weisz, Founding Principal, WXY Studio Nancy Wells, Professor, Cornell University, College of Human Ecology,Diamondand Environmental Analysis Department Ecosistema Urbano Team: A multidisciplinary Madrid and Boston-based team comprised of principals Belinda Tato and Jose Luis Vallejo; Marco Rizzetto, Carlos León, Antonella Marlene Milano, Luisa Zancada, Jorge Toledo, Marta Muñoz, Pablo Santacana, Lola Pouchin, Maria Vittoria Tesei, Andrea Bertrán, Ana Patricia Maté, Lucía De Retes Cascales, Cristina Rodríguez, Elizabeth Kelleher, Lorena Tselemegkou, Luana Scarpel, Silvia Sangriso, Daniela Menendez, Julia Casado, Constantino Hurtado, Andrés Walliser.   To view high-resolution images for this project, including work by the winning team, click here To view turned-on images of Ecosistema Urbano’s proposal, have a squint here TAGS: bioclimatic diamond + competition + ecosistema urbano + Florida + Miami + shore to cadre + Van Alen Institute + waterfront + West Palm Beach Post a scuttlebutt Click here to cancel reply.
