(Re) Stitch Tampa Designing the Design Competition The Architectural Design Competition as a Research Platform and Pedagogical Tool

Annual Meeting Proceedings

Author(s): Shannon Bassett

(Re) Stitch Tampa serves as a useful precedent that demonstrates the agency the design ideas competition can serve across many facets, including as a research platform, a pedagogical tool, as well as a platform for exploring new emerging methods and modes of architectural representation. The brief was inspired from the proposed implementation of the initial high-speed rail line to be put in between Tampa and Orlando announced by the Obama Administration, earmarking 1.2 billion dollars of federal monies for its implementation. Due to partisan/Tea Party politics the project did not move forward.
