Registration for Project 2009: Lakefront Station is underway!
Welcome to all new visitors to the annual Cleveland Design Competition and Welcome Back to those of you who have followed prior Cleveland ideas competitions Project 2007: Irishtown Bend and Project 2008: interPLAY!Project 2009: Lakefront Station focuses on a prominent downtown site at the north end of Cleveland's historic Mall and proposes a 21st century transportation center to accommodate existing regional transportation needs and proposed high speed intercity rail service. This location along the lakefront in Downtown Cleveland is the same location where the Daniel Burnham-led 1903 Group Plan proposed a union station and more recently, the Cleveland City Planning Commission adopted the 2004 Waterfront District Plan which proposes a multi-modal transportation center at this site.
Designs for this new transportation center will provide the city with a state-of-the-art rail station ready to support high speed passenger rail service, a facility capable of integrating and balancing the needs of various transportation modes, and a significant pedestrian connection from the Mall to Cleveland's lakefront.

CLEVELAND DESIGN COMPETITION
Design Challenge Envisions Lakefront Tunnel and Pathway as a Destination for Intergenerational Play
CLEVELAND – The second annual Cleveland Design Competition launched in August 2008, soliciting design solutions for the site surrounding the West 65th Street Tunnel in the Detroit Shoreway Neighborhood. Each year, the competition introduces a challenge for the design of an under-utilized or high-profile Cleveland site for solutions in architecture, landscape architecture, and urban design.
Project 2008: interPLAY was an open, single-stage ideas competition focusing on activating an existing multipurpose path and tunnel through intergenerational play. The competition site is located a few minutes west of downtown Cleveland in the Detroit Shoreway neighborhood at the northern terminus of West 65th. Participants were asked to design an intergenerational playscape that activates the residual space around an existing multipuprose pathway connecting Cleveland’s west side neighborhoods to Edgewater Park and Lake Erie. While the pathway at the competition site is already used by residents and visitors of all generations and backgrounds, it functions solely as a passageway, precluding interaction and sustained activity. Designers were asked to go beyond existing convention to propose inclusive and creative solutions that elevate community play design.
The jury for Project 2008: interPLAY included Casey Jones, Partner, joneskroloff in Bloomfield Hills, MI; Jawaid Haider, Professor of Architecture, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA; Barry Richards, Senior Associate/Studio Leader at the Rockwell Group in New York, NY; Patricia Stevens, Chief of Park Planning at the Cleveland Metroparks, Cleveland, OH; and Cathy Whitehouse, Principal and Chief Educator at The Integenerational School in Cleveland, OH.
On December 18th, 2008, Kathryn Lincoln, chariwoman of the board of directors of the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, the 2008 awards sponsor, and Armando Carbonell, senior fellow and Chairman of the Department of Planning and Urban Form, at the Lincoln Institute, announced the winners at a public reception and exhibition held at The West 78th Street Studios in the Detroit Shoreway Neighborhood. The announcement of the winners was accompanied by the display of over fifty-five competition entries sent in from teams in twelve different countries.
Nini Spagl and Gerald Haselwanter of Vienna, Austria were awarded the $2,500 first prize for a well-illustrated submission that activated the site through a landscape with seasonal variation and a combination of successful active and passive play opportunities. Runner-up proposals were awarded to the team of Slyvain Delboy, Dimitri Boutleux, and Sarah Kassler of San Francisco, California for the $1,000 second prize, and the $500 third prize was awarded to Elise Shelley and James Roche of Toronto, Canada. This year, these five teams had submissions recognized as Noteworthy Projects for the interest and discourse generated at the juried review: Katherine Holmok, Leann Andrews, and Matt Watons of Parma, Ohio; Jenn Tharp, Nancy Lonnett Roman, and Sara Thompson of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Jason Slatinsky and Gina Robinson of Charlotte, North Carolina; David Krebs, Lindsay Fallert, John Swidrak, Bryan Black, and Ian Rosby of Cleveland, Ohio; and Donguk Lee and Doosan Baek of Seoul, South Korea.
