Reburbia voting closes tonight at midnight!

Just in case you haven’t already heard about our Reburbia competition to re-design the suburbs, this is your LAST CHANCE to voice your opinion because voting ends tonight at 11:59pm! There has been an epic battle going down on our website between the forces of modest, practical baby-steps on one hand (Urban Sprawl Repair Kit), and pixellated prefab visions on the other (T-Tree Towers). It’s a hotly contested race, and each of these two entries have been running neck and neck with about 2000 votes now, so it’s still too close to call! Remember, the winner of Reburbia will be featured in the December 2009 issue of Dwell Magazine and receive a $1,000 cash prize – so help us decide the winner and VOTE TODAY >

VOTING ENDS TONIGHT SO VOTE NOW>

What if the White House, the ultimate architectural symbol of political power, were to be designed today? Over two hundred years ago the winning design of an 18th century architecture competition became the residence of the president of the United States at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. To mark the election of the 44th president of the US, Storefront for Art and Architecture, in association with Control Group, has opened White House Redux, a challenge to design a new residence for the world’s most powerful individual.

The first day’s events at Dwell on Design are coming to a close, and the star-studded line up and community-centered discussion didn’t disappoint. The morning started off with a bang with Mark Lakeman, Co-Founder of City Repair Project, who set the bar high, talking about community empowerment and grassroots organizations taking their communities into their own hands. Michelle Kaufmann, always a crowd-pleaser, spoke mid-day about her approach to prefab housing and her practice’s design strategies for greener lifestyles. Read on for more of the day’s highlights, and be sure to come by the conference Sunday at 3:30pm, when Inhabitat’s Managing Editor Emily Pilloton will be speaking about humanitarian and green design as community development tool.
