Redesigning Detroit: A New Vision for an Iconic Site



• Video Link

As part of the Opportunity Detroit campaign, we invited Detroiters and citizens of the world to imagine the possibilities for one of downtown Detroit’s long-vacant, most significant pieces of real estate:
the site of the old Hudson’s Department Store.

The creative and architectural communities were invited to give us their ideas for what could be built on the site through the Redesigning Detroit: A New Vision for an Iconic Site competition.

More than 1,000 people from around the globe registered, and nearly 200 of them submitted ideas. The enthusiasm from Detroiters and Detroiters at-heart shows Opportunity Detroit is REAL.
Many designs were submitted from southeast Michigan. In total 23 states and 22 other countries were represented.

After spending several hours observing and critiquing nearly 200 inspiring designs for the historic Hudson’s site, the judges and the community have spoken.

A panel of five distinguished architects and urban planning experts from across the country judged the entries. The “Redesigning Detroit” juried competition awarded $15,000 for first place,
$5,000 for second place and $2,500 for third place. The winners are:
