reCompete

The AIA Chicago Young Architect's Forum is currently accepting entries for reThink/reDesign/reCycle, a two-phase juried competition that seeks proposals for an ecologically intelligent, urban recycling receptacle. reThink/reDesign/reCycle aims to generate new and outstanding responses to Chicago's public recycling challenges.

In other words, the Mayor needs your help to fix his ailing, "Blue-bag" recycling program, and calling on designers for free* ideas these days is pretty darn irresistible. The two-phase competition asks entrants to "re-investigate the process of recycling in its entirety, from the material manufacturing process to the consumption choices made by individuals to the existing recycling infrastructure and its role in the collection process." Piece o' cake. And you've got six weeks, starting......now!



*Early registration before the June 24 deadline is $25; after is $35.
