AIA Pittsburgh Design Award

Rediscover History! High Street District

Urban Design, Certificate of Merit, 2007

“Newark is an American city most in need of planning and renewal, which is tough given its history. The project demonstrates a political planning process that was completed very successfully. A number of social stalemates came to an end as a result of the planning process. The graphics are lively, and contribute to the sense that we are looking at separate interventions. The architects show a genuine interest and concern for the development of place. The project demonstrates the efficacy of political planning as an important strand within the design discipline.”
