Dwell Magazines REBURBIA

A very interesting competition for reinvigorating the suburban sprawl: What would a McMansion become if it weren’t a single-family dwelling? How could a vacant big box store be retrofitted for agriculture? What sort of design solutions can you come up with to facilitate car-free mobility, ‘burb-grown food, and local, renewable energy generation? REBURBIA looks at options for designing future-proof spaces and systems using the suburban structures of the present, from small-scale retrofits to large-scale restoration—the wilder the better! http://www.re-burbia.com/
