Inside Out: Weaving Arts into the Urban FabricThe Boston Center for the Arts is sponsoring a two-stage, national open design competition for its public open spaces in Boston's South End neighborhood.
Set at the crossroads of widely divergent social groups and communities, the Boston Center for the Arts' campus includes theatres, art galleries, artist studios, the Boston Ballet, restaurants, residences, and the iconic Cyclorama in a tightly knit urban block that connects its many publics through the performing and visual arts.
The competition seeks innovative ways to spatialize the BCA's mission by bringing the inside out and by weaving arts into the urban and social fabric of the Boston.
Entrants will be asked to consider how public space design can expand the BCA's presence in the city, provide a flexible gathering place for special events, and guide visitors to the many venues within the urban campus.
In January, a public visioning event will take place in the Cyclorama to explore the range of programmatic and spatial opportunities within the site.
The results of this public event will be incorporated into the program requirements of the competition.
