Expo 1: New York

Through 15 March, MoMA PS1 and MoMA's Department of Architecture and Design launch the Rockaway Call for Ideas to create a sustainable waterfront, in an effort to foster the creative debate on urban recovery after Hurricane Sandy.

In an effort to foster the creative debate on urban recovery after Hurricane Sandy, MoMA PS1 and MoMA's Department of Architecture and Design launch a call for ideas to create a sustainable waterfront.

Artists, architects, designers, and others are welcome to present ideas for alternative housing models, creation of social spaces, urban interventions, new uses of public space, the rebuilding of the boardwalk, protection of the shoreline, and actions to engage local communities.

Twenty-five selected proposals will be presented publicly through social media and on-site, in a series of live presentations and lectures organized by MoMA PS1 in its temporary relief and cultural venue VW Dome 2 in Rockaway Beach during April 2013.

A jury including curators Barry Bergdoll, Klaus Biesenbach, Peter Eleey, Pedro Gadanho, Niklas Maak, Hans Ulrich Obrist, and other influential architects, urban planners, and designers will make the selection from the open call.

Ideas can be submitted in the format of a short video no longer than three minutes, using this form, by 15 March 2013. Applicants can contact donate_ideas@moma.org should they experience trouble submitting. Consult the full Rockaway Film and Competition Details here.
