Please join the Architectural Foundation of Cincinnati and the University of Cincinnati Niehoff Urban Studio to support concepts for temporary urban projects for public space in our city. This competition is proposed to identify the most creative visions for temporary installations for the public good that could enhance our use, perception, and enjoyment of public space in urban areas of Greater Cincinnati. Proposals may vary in content from architectural, fine art, or programming concepts, but must be illustrated for a site specific context.
