Van Alen Institute Design Competition

The Van Alen Institute is sponsoring a design competition called, "Parks for People." I am looking into this competition as a way to guide my studio work during the spring semester. I would be participating in regards to the Civil War fort sites surrounding Washington D.C. I'm not sure I can make this competition work for my research interest. The only way I would find it helpful is if it could be approached from the perspective of community involvement and establishing a flexible and ever-changing design solution... check out the link, look at the Washington D.C. site and let me know what you think.
