54th ANNUAL HIGH SCHOOL DESIGN COMPETITION – AFSF

In this year’s AFSF High School Design Competition,

students are challenged to design a Park Space and a PDR Collective next to existing wetlands along Islais Creek in San Francisco.

‘PDR’ stands for Production, Distribution and Repair. The PDR Collective will be an opportunity to grow the local business presence and provide space for artists, makers, nonprofits, and other bedrocks of the community. The location of this new space will increase public access to the waterfront and create a new gathering space for the community.

Participants may choose one of 3 ways to enter this year’s online competition:

1) Individual Entry

2) Group Entry

3) Design Process Entry (individual or group)

All deliverables (drawings, model, and design description) must be compiled in a Google Slide deck for presentation. To better explain the participants thinking to the judges, participants must also submit a brief video describing the project (2 minutes max). This as an opportunity to talk about the overall goals and aspirations for the design, the design process, and what the entrant enjoyed most about undertaking this challenge.
