Fabrizio Furiassi (former AA visiting student) awarded honorable mention at New York CityVision competition, with Rezoning Manhattan project

The jury was composed of Joshua Price-Ramus (REX NY), Eva Franch i Gilabert (Storefront for Art and Architecture), Roland Snooks (Kokkugia), Shohei Shigematsu (OMA NY), Alessandro Orsini (Architensions), and Mitchell Joachim (Terreform One) and chose two winners, a FARM prize winner, and attributed eight honorable mentions.

The brief proposed two possible themes as departure points: From Past to Future, whereby participants where challenged to 'imagine the city of New York from manipulation and time deviation of a critical phase of its past and rewrite a new and correct future with consequent changes to the natural ecosystem, social and architectural history of the city', and From Future to Past, which proposed to 'imagine New York City starting with the already compromised future – accepting the failure of our futuristic aspirations – and describe your idea of a city of tomorrow that will have to come to terms with the relentless advance of technology and the parallel regression of the social life of its inhabitants, but that has a great opportunity to really change the system by replacing all that is outsourcing into insourcing'.
