RE: Dallas Winner selected!

A while back we wrote about Revision: Dallas and even did a podcast with John Greenan, Executive Director for the Central Dallas Community Corporation.

Yesterday Urban Re:Vision and the Central Dallas Community Development Corporation nannounced that “Forwarding Dallas” has been selected as the winning design from Re:Vision Dallas, an international design competition. The challenge, to transform a vacant inner-city block behind City Hall into a carbon-neutral community, drew hundreds of entries from top architecture firms and city planners in 14 countries worldwide. Forwarding Dallas is the product of a collaboration between Portuguese-based architectural firms Atelier Data and Moov, and will run “off the grid,” acting as a working model of sustainability for cities around the globe. Ground breaking is scheduled for early 2011.

Congratulations!
