美国底特律市邀请新兴设计师、密歇根州土生土长的当地人士，或在专业或学术方面与密歇根州相关联的人士，参与本次设计竞赛。当现有建筑物介入时，将空置的商业店面转变为吸引居民的社区空间，以适应多种规模的改变和使用。

底特律的商业走廊主要是空置的商铺和空地，邻近规模最大、最密集的住宅区。新的规划到来后，将形成以城市为主导的公共/私人伙伴关系，希望扩大公共领域的投资，鼓励人们并支持现有业务。然而，在市场不明朗、建筑条件差且资金有限的情况下，许多业主都难以让空置的商铺东山再起。

我们可以想象一下，如果这些空间能够首先作为社区商铺来激活，让居民可以交换想法并获知其邻居的设计和规划情况？如果这些商铺能够为社区组织、小企业和当地企业家提供空间，短暂吸引底特律商业走廊的居民们呢？这看起来如何？

Design Center in a Box，这是一个设计-建造的竞赛。获胜团队需很好地展现出在空置的商业中制造和呈现他们提出的设计的能力。在组建团队时，参赛者应该考虑评审团评估提交材料的标准。我们希望获得面向社区团体的新兴设计实践，寻找能够有新合作的年轻建筑师，或参与公共话题的艺术家。


时间安排

Design Center in a Box竞赛分为三个阶段：1）初次公开招募；2）最终入围者的现场参观和设计开发阶段，最后向评审员进行公开演讲，评审员将选出2个获奖设计；3）制作和安装期间，获奖设计将改造两个闲置商铺。

在第一阶段中，每个入选的入围团队将获得2500美元的入围奖金，目的是为了支持团队进入第二阶段的比赛。

在第二阶段中，根据入围决赛团队的演示，设计评审团将选出2个获胜团队，每个团队获得40000美元的奖励，以便更好地确认场地，进行详细设计、制造和安装设计。

The City of Detroit invites emerging designers, born or raised in, or professionally or academically connected to Michigan, to submit concepts for an installation that, when inserted into an existing building, would transform the vacant commercial storefront into an engaging community space, adaptable to multiple scales of programming and use.
Detroit’s commercial corridors are dominated by vacant storefronts and empty lots, including those adjacent to the strongest, most populated residential neighborhoods. New hope is on the horizon with a City-led public/private partnership initiative intended to expand investment in the public realm, encourage pedestrians, and support existing businesses. Nevertheless, in an uncertain market, and with poor building condition and limited cash flow, many property owners still struggle to re-vitalize their vacant buildings.
Imagine if these spaces could be activated first as community storefronts where residents could exchange ideas and be informed about the design and planning happening in their neighborhood? What if these community storefronts could provide space for neighborhood organizations, small businesses and local entrepreneurs to temporarily attract residents in Detroit’s neighborhood commercial corridors? How might this look?
Design Center in a Box is a design-build competition. Through the process, winning teams will have demonstrated an ability and commitment to fabricate and install their proposed design within a vacant commercial storefront.  When forming teams, applicants should consider the criteria on which the jury will evaluate submissions.  Emerging design practices wishing to pivot toward community design, young architects looking to form new collaborations, or artists seeking to engage public conversation are among those encouraged to apply.

SCHEDULE
The Design Center in a Box competition occurs in three stages: 1) an initial open call for participants; 2) a site visit and design development phase for finalists culminating in a public presentations to jurors and selection of 2 winning designs; 3) a fabrication and installation period during which winning designs will activate two vacant storefronts.
In Stage 1, each finalist team selected will receive a $2,500 finalist stipend intended to support the team in progressing through Stage 2 of the competition.
In Stage 2, Following a presentation event for finalist teams, the design jury will select 2 winning teams to receive $40,000 each for detailing, fabrication and installation of their design in a confirmed site location.
