Putting America?s Best to Work

Roanoke, VA is putting America’s best designers to work for its city.

Through the Urban Effect 2008 Design Competition, designers are asked to “explore the city's potential by creating unique urban and architectural designs that enhance the best qualities of Roanoke and create positive impact on three specific areas of the city: the Roanoke City Market, The Crossing, and Reserve Avenue/Roanoke River.”

“Drawing upon the skills and resources of designers and visionaries nationwide, we seek big plans to inspire the community and stimulate dialogue about the future growth and development of the city.”

The competition stresses quality of life, an innovative vision of public spaces, and engaging talent in growth and development as design priorities. The competition offers building, urban design and urban planning categories.
