Now It’s a Book: Reinventing Grand Army Plaza

Urban Omnibus just celebrated their first year online. It’s also been a year since they produced a multi-part video and audio piece that chronicled the Reinventing Grand Army Plaza design competition organized by the Design Trust for Public Space and the Grand Army Plaza Coalition.

The feature included audio interviews with six of the competition jurors, a video that explored the site, some competition entries and public reactions to them in the context of the exhibition that took place in the Plaza in the fall of 2008.

Now the Design Trust has made available a beautiful book about the competition for anyone who loves Grand Army Plaza, who loves Brooklyn, who obsesses over design competitions. Go to: Design Trust’s site to order a hard copy or download the pdf for free.
