Project Overview: Dotting the global landscape, thousands of decommissioned military installations are leaving their mark. While these sites and structures are often abandoned without plans for sustainable use, Architecture for Humanity sees them as opportunities for community investment and redevelopment. The 2011 Open Architecture Challenge, [UN]Restricted Access, asked architects to work in collaboration with community groups to develop innovative solutions to re-imagine how closed, abandoned and decommissioned military sites could be repurÂposed as inspired places for public use. To extend the reach of the conversation to a general audience, the ideas submitted from the OAC design competition were showcased at the 2012 Venice Architecture Biennale. Responsibilities: Conceptual design, graphic design, construction drawings, project coordination (budget, schedule, reporting) and responsible for seeking in-kind donations for construction materials. Part of the jury that selected the winners and coordinator of close-out of the competition. Awards: Winner - Pragmatic Optimism // Architecture for Humanity Design Awards 2012
