2023 Lyceum Fellowship – Old Town Mall — Reimagined
The Old Town Mall, the long-abandoned outdoor pedestrian retail mall in the heart of Baltimore’s “Black Butterfly,” is the site of our 2023 competition. Centering on the benefit to the neighborhood, students must redevelop the four-block, 16-acre parcel. Designers will explore new programs for the site, study preservation vs. demolition options, evaluate public vs. private uses, and propose methods for engaging the community.
The 2023 competition is open to architecture students currently enrolled in NAAB-accredited programs in North America. All eligible students, faculty, studios, and Schools of Architecture can participate.
Furthermore, complete program and eligibility requirements can be found on the Lyceum Fellowship website and in the downloadable 2023 competition brief—lyceum-fellowship.org
“Many of us architects are trained in the design of a singular
building, but we have little background in developing or considering the
social or economic impacts that drive a project or maybe the result of
a project. In my recent experience, clients are asking us to help them
create the development idea and participate in the evaluation of the
potential impacts of different development options as part of our design
process.”
Additionally, this design challenge is to consider redevelopment options for the long-abandoned pedestrian retail mall in Baltimore. The questions you should
address center on the benefit to the neighborhood. What are the needs of
current residents and what types of investment in the area will help
revitalize the neighborhood without pushing people out?
