It is a Web 2.0 competion in the sense of generating debate from a wide spectrum of designers, sponsors, users, photographers and critics. A secondary aim is to show the world that the landscape architecture profession can and should take a lead in urban design.

For a recession bound profession, it is a chance for individuals and firms to make new reputations and help set the agenda for tomorrow's landscape. Educators are invited to specify their own versions of the brief for the cohorts they teach.

Wide Open Ideas Competition for Tiananmen Square in Beijing, China
This is the first of several competitions run to identify a range of possible design solutions, against a broad conceptual brief, with no commitment to build. They will be for significant design sites around the world. The aim of the Tiananmen Square Landscape Compeition is to generate debate and ideas for re-designing part of the most important urban space in the history of Chinese Civilization. We hope this will also set a new course for Eastern Landscape Architecture, helping in the development of an ecologically and culturally distinctive design tradition.
