La Agricultura Awarded Winner of Our Block Competition

Announcement | December 7, 2020

LOS ANGELES, Calif. — December 7, 2020 — Through pandemic, social upheaval and climate crisis, we have all been witness to changes in our communities.  We are seeking proposals to reimagine one city block in your community.  How can cities be more inclusive? How can the site be more human-centric? How will the city block adapt to a changing climate? To answer these questions, we created Our Block: a firmwide design competition where each of our offices reimagined a block in their city to best suit the people who use it.

After reviewing exciting entries from our offices around the world, “La Agricultura” from the LA office has been selected as our Firmwide winner. As the winning team, Alberto and Chia-Chun (Darren) will be awarded $3,000. In second place is “AgriNYC” from the New York office with a cash prize of $2,000, and “Lets Stick Together” from Chicago takes up third place with $1,000. Thank you to all of our team members for your hard work and innovative ideas.
