The AIA Emerging NY Architects Committee [ENYA] is pleased to announce the
call for entries for Groen Hoek : The East River Community Boathouse Competition, an open international ideas competition to design a boathouse for the community of Greenpoint in Brooklyn, New York.

The competition will culminate in an exhibition at the Center for Architecture in the Spring of 2004, and, in addition to the prize awarded, the sponsors will endeavor to build the winning design.

Groen Hoek: The East River Community Boathouse Competition is an effort to provide young and emerging architects and designers with the opportunity to engage in the development of the East River Waterfront as we begin to reclaim and reconnect to some of our greatest natural resources, including the harbor, rivers and estuaries of the New York and New Jersey Waterfront at a time when our port is set to embark on the most ambitious expansion plan in history.

The competition coincides with an announcement by the Greenpoint Waterfront Association for Parks and Planning [GWAPP] and the Trust for Public Land [TPL] for the commencement of an open space study for the Greenpoint and Williamsburg East River Waterfront. The goal of the study is to generate the information, insight, creativity and visual representation necessary to promote the development of meaningful open space and park amenities along the Greenpoint and Williamsburg East River Waterfront. GWAPP is a coalition of over 40 community organizations dedicated to the education and outreach of issues affecting the environment and the waterfront in the neighborhoods of Greenpoint and Williamsburg in North Brooklyn. TPL is a nonprofit organization founded in 1972 that helps communities to conserve land for recreation and spiritual nourishment and to improve the health and quality of life of our communities.

The competition is open to all design students and young professionals, including architects, engineers, landscape architects, urban designers and planners who have completed their education at the undergraduate or graduate level within the past ten years. The participants may be licensed. Registration begins September 1, 2003. The registration deadline is December 5, 2003.

All competition information, registration, and resources are available online at  http://www.aiany.org/committees/emerging/competition/competition.html 

The competition is sponsored by ENYA, in cooperation with the East River Kayak Club and the East River Apprenticeship. ENYA is a forum for the interest and activities of students, interns, associates, and new architects. Additionally, ENYA establishes networking, mentoring, technical, and public advocacy initiatives to foster the professional development of architecture students and young professionals and to strengthen the quality of the built environment.
