2013 call for entries: one garden at a time
exploring the aesthetics of landscape experience in the age of sustainability. an international cpompetition for built and unbuilt residential landscapes in professional and student categories sponsored by the james rose center for landscape architectural research and design
co-sponsors: american society of landscape architects, new jersey chapter; rutgers, the state university of new jersey
background for most, james rose is remembered as one of three harvard students who rebelled against their beaux arts training in the 1930s, helping to usher landscape architecture—kicking and screaming—into the modern era. yet somewhere after harvard and well into the real world, rose lost faith in the modern planning and design professions he had helped to inspire. by the mid 1950s he had retreated from public practice and spent most of the latter part of his career designing private gardens that were in direct contrast to the environmental excess and cultural banality of the emerging contemporary post-wwii suburb.
these built critiques were made with found objects, recycled left-over materials, native plants and whatever he could scavenge from the sites themselves. he called them “space-sculptures-with-shelters,” and they reflected the creative, spatial and artistic nature of the garden in ways that were greener, more economical and less wasteful of resources. in doing so, rose incorporated a conservation ethic into a modern design aesthetic, skillfully choreographing outdoor spatial experiences that inspire us to better perceive our relationship with the environment. today, in the age of sustainability, it is equally, if not more, important to employ contemporary green technologies within the context of the aesthetics of landscape experience.
the competition the goal of suburbia transformed 3.0 is to promote and celebrate residential designs that go beyond “green” by explicitly using sustainable strategies, tactics and technologies to enrich the aesthetic spatial experience of people. st 3.0 will assemble contemporary projects achieving this goal into a travelling exhibition and catalogue. the emphasis is on how such sustainable landscapes can be beautiful, inspiring, perhaps profound; and serve as examples for transforming the suburban residential fabric, one garden at a time.
eligibility: open to all, including landscape architects, landscape designers, architects, individuals, teams or firms…and students of design whose work will be judged in a separate category.
submission requirements we seek solutions to the ubiquitous small-lot, detached single-family, residential condition in the hope that we may better understand how to transform suburbia. therefore, submissions must be for two-acre or less residentially-zoned single-family properties. a submission with a newly built house is allowed as long as the lot was part of a pre-existing subdivision or town property. distance from an urban center is not relevant for the purpose of this competition.
each entry must be submitted on a cd to include the components in the order listed below and sent to: the james rose center. competition website: http://www.thearchitectureroom.com/suburbia-transformed-3-0
