Yesterday NYC Mayor Bloomberg revealed the winners of the city's urbancanvas Design Competition which challenged participants to create artwork to decorate those usually boring protective structures that surround construction sites—an initiative that reminds me of the clever construction screen I saw in Bilbao. After submissions were winnowed down by a jury, public vote determined the final 4 winning designs, which building owners who have been approved for the urbancanvas Pilot Program will be able to use to liven up their construction areas. I've included images of my favorites, "Color Mesh" by Mauricio Lopez and "My Urban Sky" by Jen Magathan, but you can see all the designs and learn more here.
