  Do You Know the Secret of the Fountain of Use?
Register to enter COD’s new design competition by March 13
The AIA Committee on Design’s “Fountain of Use” design ideas competition is exploring the meaningful use of water as a component of urban planning. As the COD convenes in Miami to examine the Rejuvenation of Cities on the Water, the competition entries will contribute to the general discussion by illustrating concepts about the responsible use of water within a developing urban design framework along a waterfront. The challenge is to identify the myriad potential roles of water in sustaining the contemporary waterfront city and the design of elements that fulfill those roles. The program calls for development of a thesis for a defined physical site. The registration deadline is March 13; entries are due at AIA Miami on April 10. For details, visit the AIA Committee on Design’s Web site.
