Places: Forum of Design for the Public Realm and EDRA, the Environmental Design Research Association, in cooperation with Metropolis Magazine announce the twelfth annual Great Places Awards (formerly EDRA/Places Awards) for Place Design, Planning and Research.
Unique in the ever-expanding universe of award programs, our concern is for good places and how people inhabit them.
The Great Places Awards seek entries of exemplary work, inviting participation from a range of design and research disciplines, recognizing projects whose significance extends beyond any one profession or field. Projects should emphasize a link between research and practice, demonstrating how an understanding of human interaction with place can inspire design.
The deadline for entries for the 2009 Great Places Awards is February 9, 2009. The awards jury will be held February 27-28, 2009 at the School of Architecture at the University of Texas at Austin, with winners announced the week following. Official presentations will be made in May 2009 at the EDRA40 conference in Kansas City, Missouri. Winning projects will be announced in Metropolis and on the Places website, with full write-ups and commentary published in the Fall 2009 issue of Places.
