Portobello Promenade Competition , Edinburgh / Vereinigtes Königreich

 

Community Competitions

 

This competition invites design proposals for a new building or buildings, integrated landscape enhancements, and improved amenity provision for all users. Alongside a broader vision that could include a small civic hub that includes outdoor event infrastructure,

 

Proposals should aim to be low-cost, low-carbon, and deliver maximum community benefit through simple but generous design thinking.

 

Designers should respond thoughtfully to the unique coastal site, with fun at its heart but with particular attention to material durability, sustainability. The Promenade is a place to be enjoyed and we encourage a creative, forward-thinking and exciting approach to the brief. This is the first step in a wider strategy for the whole Promenade.

 

The competition is open to everyone - students, graduates, emerging practices, experienced architects, designers, artists and interdisciplinary teams. You do not need to be registered with a professional body to enter.
