We know many of our readers live outside the City of Boston.  Applications are now available online for an exciting design competition. The James Rose Center announces its third biennial design competition and exhibition Suburbia Transformed 3.0, One Garden at a Time: Exploring the Aesthetics of Landscape Experience in the Age of Sustainability. The goal of Suburbia Transformed 3.0 is to promote and celebrate residential designs that go beyond “green” by explicitly using sustainable strategies, tactics, and technologies to enrich the aesthetic spatial experience of people. The emphasis is on how such sustainable landscapes can be beautiful, inspiring, perhaps profound, and serve as examples for transforming the suburban residential fabric, one garden at a time. This is an international competition for built and visionary (unbuilt) residential landscapes in professional and student categories. Entries are due before February 18, 2014. Details for Suburbia Transformed 3.0 are available at www.jamesrosecenter.org. ST3.0 is co-sponsored by Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey and the NJASLA.  Pictured is an image from past winner danespencer-landscapearchitect.com.
