INTERNATIONAL ARCHITECTURE IDEAS COMPETITION / UNDERBRIDGE / AFFORDABLE HOUSING SERIES 17TH EDITION / JURY

Thanks Architecture Competitions // Buildner for organizing this award and selecting Nicolas Sterling and Elke Sterling-Presser as part of the jury.

As cities expand, underutilized spaces beneath bridges remained dormant, overshadowed by their towering counterparts. This competition aims at finding innovative ways of transforming these neglected areas into dynamic and thriving communities.

We are very happy to see the final outcome of the award topic we initiated.

Congrats to Yujun Cai for winning 1st place Buildner Student Award! It is a great proposal that explores the size of a megastructure at the urban scale and its direct impact on local communities. The project deals with the "negative space" and distances itself from the very high roof that forms the bridge deck to create a poetic experience at the water level and provide cultural contribution to the community. Interesting response!
