Van Alen Institute’s “Reimagining Brooklyn Bridge” Competition winners have been announced
After much anticipation, the winners of the Van Alen Institute Reimagining Brooklyn Bridge competition have been announced. Thanks to the competition’s design jury and a public vote held during the competition’s Virtual Design Show, the winning designs are “Brooklyn Bridge Forest” and “Do Look Down.”
Within the competition’s “Professional” and “Young Adult” categories, the competition brief was to provide proposals that would help redefine the Brooklyn Bridge to become “a new kind of icon.” With aims to spark more public discussion about New York’s infrastructure, the competition winners and selected finalists each provided a design to emphasize “climate action, social equity, and creative expression.”
