The City of Calgary, in partnership with Chinook Blast, the city’s winter festival celebration, is celebrating the winners of the 2024 Winter City Design Competition.
This year’s winners are 1000 Faces, (p)arc, and Fancy Meeting You Here, all of which reimagined public spaces during a Calgary winter and created interactive exhibits that pushed conventional boundaries.
These three winners were selected out of over three dozen submissions.
For the past three years, the City has invited the design community to experiment with outdoor spaces as well as re-imagine a winter experience that encourages the public to go outside and explore the city. ?We are so excited about the 2024 winning teams and to partner with Chinook Blast,? said Kate Zago, the City?s project lead for the Winter City Design Competition. ?The winning installations are amazing examples of creative and immersive designs that will definitely have people talking.? Patti Pon, Chair of Chinook Blast and CEO and president of Calgary Arts Development said, “Chinook Blast is excited to celebrate the 2024 Winter City Design Competition winners with The City of Calgary. These exhibits embody the spirit of Chinook Blast, transforming winter into a season of excitement and exploration. Get ready to engage with these designs!”
