Sharing ideas with friends over coffee, countless streams of trace paper in the waste bin.
It's time, once again, for the 2008 USGBC Natural Talent Design Competition.
Do you have what it takes?
 
This year's competition utilizes the new LEED for Schools rating system in it's challenge to design a Platinum rated Middle School and Arts Center for grades sixth through nine. The competition also proposes the revitalization of the historic Empire Stores, the Tobacco Warehouse, and the adjacent Empire Ferry State Park all located on the waterfront in Brooklyn, NY's DUMBO neighborhood.
 
DUMBO is a growing, prosperous community with many concerns, some of which are addressed through this competition. Whether you're a fan of DUMBO or just getting to know it, take a chance to potentially effect lasting change in the lives of others…and yours. Think you're ready for the Challenge?
