Open Ideas Competition of the Bab Al Bahrain square in Manama

One of the few existing public spaces in Bahrain, the Bab al Bahrain square has been progressively turned into a series of surface parking lots. Still, due to its historical importance and its centrality within the Island, it holds the potential to become a lively urban public square; located at the entrance of the Manama Suq it has the advantage of belonging to a tight urban structure which still benefits from a natural pedestrian network.

The competition therefore poses the double challenge of reviving the memory of the sea on the site and proposing a viable urban square taking into consideration the new changes in lifestyles and behaviorism in the Arab World.

How will it be used? Who will use it? How will it integrate within the rest of the urban fabric of the City? What will it represent?

Open to all architects, urbanists, landscape architects and students.

A total of 15,000$ in prize money will be distributed by the jury to the selected winner.

Participants sould register no later than January 15th, 2012 by sending an email to babcompetition@moc.gov.bh

Entries need to be delivered to Bahrain by the 1st of February 2012 at 2:00 pm to:

Bab Al Bahrain Competition
