LA + ICONOCLAST假设中央公园遭到生态恐怖分子的破坏，抗议全球森林比例的减少。本次竞赛要求设计师重新设计中央公园，从Olmsted和Calvert Vaux开始，统一设计。LA +邀请建筑师、景观建筑师、规划师、艺术家和设计师提交意见书。参赛不需要专业资格。


LA + ICONOCLAST邀请参赛者重新设计假设被生态恐怖分子摧毁的纽约中央公园。以下是竞赛内容的简要介绍：

中央公园可以说是现代景观建筑的典例。Olmsted首次提出的景观建筑，直至今天，中央公园仍是集审美、社会政治理想、健康、美丽和民主于一体的经典之作。艺术家Robert Smithson在1973年写作公园时声称Olmsted “在中央公园把艺术和填海工作结合在一起，这种方式确实超越了他的时代。”但Olmsted今天会怎么做？你又会怎么做？

本次竞赛要求参赛者重新设计中央公园，从Olmsted和Calvert Vaux开始设计。这样做是为了探讨以下问题：1）在公园里无论看到的景象如何，我们都会表现出我们与“自然”世界关系的审美表达，那么在大自然彻底消失之前，能保持今天这种关系的美学吗？ 2）今天的大型城市公园有什么作用？ 3）美学与表达如何结合成Olmsted所说的“一件艺术作品”？ 4）考虑到中央公园遗址的历史，参赛者需要诠释旧事物，以及新旧事物如何一起预测未来。

简而言之，就是设计21世纪的新中央公园。要求提供设计平面、简短的文字说明和表达方案的相关图片。竞赛倾向于概念上的严谨和想象力，并且重视对上述问题的参与程度。评审团也将考虑可行性、实质性、流通和功能等基本问题。

将奖励五名获奖者共20000美元，并在LA +杂志专题LA + ICONOCLAST上发表相应作品。十名荣誉提名将获得证书和出版物。获奖者和精选作品将发布并展出。

LA+ ICONOCLAST posits that Central Park has been destroyed by eco-terrorists protesting the loss of world forests. This competition challenges designers to reimagine Central Park, starting, as Olmsted and Calvert Vaux did, from scratch. LA+ invites submissions from architects, landscape architects, planners, artists, and designers. No professional qualifications are required to enter.

LA+ ICONOCLAST asks you to redesign New York’s Central Park, which has been fictionally devastated by eco-terrorists. Here’s the brief:

Central Park is arguably the canonical work of modern landscape architecture. Its aesthetic and socio-political ideals of health, beauty and democracy underpin the profession of landscape architecture, which Olmsted first named, to this day. Writing of the park in 1973, the artist Robert Smithson claimed that Olmsted “combined both art and reclamation in Central Park in a way that is truly in advance of his times.” But what would Olmsted do today? What will you do?

This competition asks that you redesign Central Park, starting, as Olmsted and Calvert Vaux did, from scratch. In doing so this competition seeks to explore the following questions: 1) If in parks, no matter how faux or superficial, we manifest a collective aesthetic expression of our relationship with the “natural” world, then what, on the occasion of nature’s disappearance, is the aesthetic of that relationship today? 2) What is the role of a large urban park today? 3) How might issues of aesthetics on the one hand and performance on the other coalesce into what Olmsted described as “a single work of art”? 4) Given the extraordinary history of the Central Park site, the competition asks how the new interprets the old, and how together, the new and the old anticipate the future.

In short, the brief is to create the concept for a new, 21st century Central Park. The brief asks for a plan, a short explanatory text, and discretionary supporting imagery. The competition favors conceptual rigor and imagination, and places a premium on engagement with the questions outlined above. Basic issues of feasibility, materiality, circulation, and programming will also be taken into consideration by the jury.

Five winners will share US $20,000 and feature publication in a special issue of LA+ Journal entitled LA+ ICONOCLAST. Ten honorable mentions receive a certificate and publication. Winners and select entries will be published and exhibited.

LA+ ICONOCLAST will be judged by an eminent, interdisciplinary jury:
Lola Sheppard – architect and co-founder, Lateral Office
Geoff Manaugh – author, BLDGBLOG and “A Burglar’s Guide to the City”
Jenny Osuldsen – landscape architect and partner, Snøhetta
Charles Waldheim – Director of the Office for Urbanization, Harvard GSD
Beatrice Galilee – Curator of Architecture + Design, Metropolitan Museum Art
Richard Weller – Chair of Landscape Architecture, PennDesign + Creative Director, LA+ Journal.
