the riverfront development corporation in memphis is seeking design visions
for the first major project--at the foot of historic beale street--in a
comprehensive reshaping of the city's mississippi riverfront. this first
project is named beale street landing.
the first stage of the competition is open to all. five winners from stage
one will be awarded cash prizes to develop their ideas during an invited
second stage. it is rdc's intention to select a design team from the second
stage to develop their proposal for implementation.
the project site is both physically and culturally complex. a
twenty-five-foot bluff rises from a once busy commercial harbor to the old
downtown, which, like many american waterfront cities, historically turned
its back on the mighty river that was its lifeblood. a new master plan,
developed by cooper robertson & partners, will connect the city to the
river. 'shaping the new american riverfront' initiates the first major
riverfront improvement and sets the tone for future development.
the program calls for the design of a five-acre, waterfront public space
celebrating beale street's termination at the mississippi river. we expect
competitors to resolve the many functional challenges of the site-the
shifting landscape of a fluctuating mississippi river, the bluff that
separates the city fabric from the riverfront, the need for modern docking
facilities. the winning proposal must go further, capturing the unique
qualities of the setting and bringing new vision and heightened aspiration
to the development of memphis' built environment.
to this end, we encourage entrants to develop visions that are strong enough
to refocus the design dialogue in memphis onto the riverfront, a grand
landscape on which the city has historically turned its back. designs that
activate the waterfront, extend its use [day and night], and develop an
authentic and potentially iconic response to the site will best meet the
goals of the sponsors and the expectations of the community.
a $50,000 prize fund has been established. each of up to five finalists
chosen to proceed to stage two will receive an award of $2500 plus a $7500
stipend for the stage two work. the winner of stage two will be awarded the
right to negotiate a contract for professional services to design the
project.
