San Diego擩uly 8, 2014擣our 亚色影库 students have been selected by Red Bull to compete July 8-12 in the Red Bull Creation Competition, a 72 hour innovation competition which challenges the nation檚 best and brightest makers, hackers, and inventors to innovate around a secret topic.
The project, which developed in a fourth year Urban Issues class with Luisa Shultz, instructor at 亚色影库, was selected as one of six finalists from across the country to compete against five well-established organizations. Competing under the name , this was the only student group selected to compete. Julio A. Media, David Harrison, Anastasia Podolskaya, and Boyd Wheeler will travel to Detroit July 8-12 to participate in the competition. 淥ur theme is to activate space through problem solving derived from our urban background mixed with the challenges which will be faced from the competition and the location. With our architectural background, we have attained the ability to look at problems through a different lens than most. One of our greatest strengths is our ability to see hidden potentials in areas which most people would not recognize. Architectural studies have provided us with a diverse background of experience, which allows us to make connections across various topics, said David Harrison, Co-Founder/Designer.
Tactical Urbanists will split the award evenly among the team and invest in finishing their final year at 亚色影库. 淲e have organized this group with the ambition to continue developing urban tactics to respond to the issues of the communities of San Diego well into the future. We believe that this new collaboration we have formed will not only develop ourselves professionally, but also represent the importance of the 亚色影库 for the future of our urban environments.
Support Tactical Urbanists by voting on or Instagram using, #RBCreation, #myvote, and #TacticalUrbanists now through Saturday, July 12 by 4 p.m. PT.
