The Colentina Lakes International Design Competition aims to redefine the role of the Colentina lakeshores, divided into 3 lots, located along the 2nd District of Bucharest. It is regarded both as a natural resource with a great ecological, sanitary, aesthetic & landscape, economic and social potential for the district/city, as well as an active interface between the established urban fabric and the water of the Colentina lakes.

Task

• Restore the continuity of the public path on the shores by creating a green-blue promenade (generically referred to as the blue-green corridor) that offers local support and various recreational and social activities, and integrates harmoniously within the existing natural environment
• Improve the relationship between the lake shores and the urban surroundings through local arrangement proposals.
• The aim of the competition is to select the three best design solutions for each lot in order to contract the design services for the lakeshore development of the six Colentina lakes.

Eligibility

The Colentina Lakes International Design Competition is a public, single-stage competition, open to Romania, all countries of the European Union, of the European Economic Area, and to the Swiss Confederation.
