Open international design competition deadline June 4^thDingbat apartment facade, West Hollywood

The Los Angeles Forum for Architecture and Urban Design proposes DINGBAT 2.0, an open, single-stage, international design competition, reconsidering Los Angeles’ ubiquitous Dingbat apartment building for the 21st century. All designers, architects, artists, engineers, students, and other interested parties are fully eligible for participation in this competition. This is an ideas competition that calls for the consideration of the Dingbat not only as a housing typology, but also for the impact of Dingbats on the urban fabric of residential neighborhoods in Los Angeles. Three different areas of Los Angeles will be considered for the competition: single-block neighborhoods in West Hollywood, Palms, and Santa Monica.
