Post-Sandy Design Competition: 3C Comprehensive Coastal Communities Competition

Organized by students from ORLI (Operation Resilient Long Island) and the New York Institute of Technology, the 3C Comprehensive Coastal Communities Competition aims to address issues facing towns that are vulnerable to, and have been affected by coastal storms.  While post-Sandy rebuilding has begun, little has been done to develop new strategies that will mitigate the impact of future storms – particularly those related to re-zoning and adaptable housing typologies. The 3C Comprehensive Coastal Communities Competition wants to create a platform that will bring forth ideas for a specific northeastern coastal community. Participants are invited to design a resilient housing typology that will be integrated into the community master plan.

There is no fee to enter. Registration deadline is June 30, 2013. Submissions are due July 25, 2013. Upon the announcement of winners and honorable mentions, ORLI plans to create a publication of all work to be then distributed to local municipalities throughout the region. A symposium is also planned which will showcase the winners along with 20-30 honorable mentions and will discuss the future implications of storms and overall climate change. The symposium will be organized by ORLI and collaborators and will be held at NYIT’s Auditorium on Broadway in New York City on October 10, 2013.
