Texas Public Radio, in partnership with the
City of San Antonio,
Project for Public Spaces,
AIA of San Antonio and the
San Antonio Public Library, invite you to re-imagine a public space around the city or in your neighborhood.
AIA San Antonio, a chapter of The American Institute of Architects, is partnering with Texas Public Radio to visualize each of the five selected projects. Teams architects, emerging professionals and local architecture students will meet the challenge to make the ideas come to life with material and form. Discussion and dialogue about each idea will be expressed in 3-D graphic renderings that clearly illustrates how the Lighter, Quicker Cheaper initiatives can become instant community amenities!
