Details
The Civic Design Center is partnering with EOA Architects and NOMA Nashville to celebrate the Africatown International Design Idea Competition. The Competition highlights the spectacular discovery of Clotilda, a sunken slave ship found in 2019 in the Mobile River Delta, AL, which paved the way for multi-disciplinary design teams to imagine a revived Africatown.
The Competition brief had 16 land and water-edged venues on 4 sites across 3 cities that interpret and honor its history. The venues were destined to constitute a major new cultural heritage tourism destination system called The Africatown Cultural Mile™. This Urban Design Forum will celebrate the amazing work of the competition and provide a platform for the local winners to share their submission concepts.
