This is the proposal submitted for the ULI Urban Design Competition 2012. The site was downtown Houston, and the challenge was to design 16-acre master plan with an interdisciplinary team of graduate students within two weeks. Our team (5191) consisted of students completing their Masters degrees in Planning, Finance, Landscape Architecture and Architecture.

Our proposal was about ReDiscovering Downtown Houston – facilitating renewed interest in living and playing downtown, where there is currently an exodus outside of office hours. Our submission included six 11″ x 17″ panels and a Pro Forma, which breaks down the costs and anticipated revenues from purchasing, developing and maintaining the site over a 10 year period.

Much love to my teammates Anthonia Ogundele (Captain!), Josh Warkentin, Riaz Nathu and Noah Shumate for their hard work and dedication to pull off this competition in two weeks!
