Design Solutions

The FARROC Design Competition resulted in 117 unique design proposals for the resilient development of Arverne East from over 20 countries around the globe–a truly international response to a design problem that will face more and more of our world’s communities in coming years. From those entries, four finalists and six honorable mentions were selected.

The four finalists each received a stipend of $30,000 to aid in further development of their design proposals, which they then presented to the FAR ROC Design Jury on October 22, 2013. After extensive deliberation, the jury selected Small Means and Great Ends by Stockholm-based firm White Arkitekter as the winning design solution. Additionally, the jury recognized F.R.E.D. by New York-based firm Ennead Architects for Leading Innovation in Resilient Waterfront Design.
