What would a 21st-century Central Park look like? These winning entries reimagine the New York landmark


New York's Central Park is a prominent example of exploring the role of a large, historic urban park in today's cities. In LA+ Journal's latest Iconoclast Competition, students and professionals were invited to send their ideas of how they would recreate the infamous park, which has been fictionally devastated by eco-terrorists, the competition brief states. 

The ideas competition attracted 193 submissions from 382 entrants representing 30 countries. The acclaimed jury ultimately selected five equal winners, who will each receive a $4,000 cash prize. Check out the winning entries below.

“From megastructures to new ecologies and radical ideas for democratizing public space, the LA+ ICONOCLAST winning entries show how designers can move beyond the status quo of picturesque large parks and embrace the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century,” jury chair Richard Weller commented.

Editors’ Choice 2020 Skyscraper Competition Ruwan Fernando Australia Ever since the Apollo mission showed us the first images of our ‘pale blue dot’ from space, the idea of the world as a ‘whole’ has captured the people’s imagination. Going beyond borders, oceans, and thinking of the continents as a continuous entity comes from this vision. Fifty years later, we face the existential threat of ecological disaster, and maybe revisiting the whole earth project seems like a way of recapturing that drive. This proposal looks at a network of towers that span across the oceans connecting the planet in a matrix that provides energy cleans the oceans and gives new chances for life to thrive. Fusion, Solar, and Hydro-power are used in this matrix with all of these being in high abundance in the ocean.
