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?
