Occuprint (profiled here previously) in collaboration with the AIA Center for Architecture in New York are inviting the public “to expand the visual language and cultural expression of the conversation on public space and freedom assembly by submitting poster designs that provoke thought and dialogue.” The poster series is part of a larger, multi-partner exhibition, called Beyond Zuccotti Park, taking place September 6–21, 2012 at the Center for Architecture. The deadline for submissions is August 20, 2012.
Designs may consider the following questions: What is the public and what are public spaces? How do we define and how are we defined by our public spaces? How can we design and build our public spaces to facilitate civic participation? What are the processes and mechanisms of how public spaces are built and organized? How can we promote transparency in public space regulation and plurality in it use?
