Ruberoid Design Competition

Proposed for New York City, the project is an East River urban renewal project competition conducted by the Ruberoid Co. with the cooperation of the Housing and Redevelopment Board of the City of New York.
The competition is the fifth annual design competition held by the Ruberoid Company.
The project site is a 16-acre tract of mixed residential and commercial uses between 105thand 111th Streets on the Harlem River.
The scope is to design an attractive, practical, middle-income (Mitchell-Lama) housing project, making use of the waterfront but not building over the Drive.
The competition winner will receive $10,000 and an inside track for the eventual project comm1ss10n. Other top prizes: $5,000, $2,500, and six merit awards of $500 each. Prizes for students only: $2,000, $1,000, $500, and four merit awards of $250 each.
