urbanSHED International Design Competition challenges designers to conceptualize a cutting-edge sidewalk shed to protect pedestrians, improve the pedestrian experience– and make New York City even more attractive for generations to come.
More than 6,000 sidewalk sheds flank New York City’s buildings and construction sites. They span more than 1,000,000 linear feet and typically remain in place for nearly a year. While these sheds protect pedestrians from construction debris and support other construction structures, they undermine the beauty of New York City’s architecture.
We’re seeking a fresh, new sidewalk shed design that’s sustainable, economical, meets or exceeds current safety requirements and City regulations, improves technical and structural performance – and creates a better environment for the people who live in, work in and visit New York City.
Awards
Stage I
$5,000 stipend for the three finalists to participate in Stage II
Stage II
The Grand Winner will receive a monetary award in the amount of $10,000. The urbanSHED International Design Competition sponsors will seek to fabricate and install the winning project on a job site in Lower Manhattan.
The NYC Buildings Department plans to issue an OTCR (Office of Technical Certification and Research) Bulletin establishing the winning sidewalk shed design as an approved standard that can be used by industry.

NUS ID 2nd year student, Darren Yeo, won the top prize for Gifts and Premiums for the modern and happy office design competition and 3rd year student, Cheng Siew Ming, was also awarded the 2nd runner-up in the same competition. This competition was organized by Singapore Gifts and Stationery Show 2009.
Top prize: Diao Yu, Darren Yeo
Corporate gifts and premiums are effective marketing tools, but are easily forgotten by consumers. The attachment of an experiential encounter with the gift would, however, be able to create a lifelong memory. Hence, an exquisite teabag collection, inspired by Singapore’s iconic oolong tea, 钓鱼（diao yu）, has been created to also cater to the caffeine needs of a working adult, both locally and internationally. Besides breaking apart from conventional appearance, the tea filter will also be made with environmental-friendly material for the eco-friendly consumers.
3rd Prize: Plantimo, CHENG SIEW MING
Nature in sight can make people feel happy and relax. But what if nature plays another role in office?
“Plantimo” is the product everyone will keep eyeing on. It serves as a timer clock which counts down to the end of work. User set the time by turning the leaf knob that works on the turn-and-dial phone mechanism. Ticking off silently, the plant will rise slowly, seemingly growing to life, and finally a bud opens slightly to reveal the hidden flower. This mimics the mood of workers, blossoming after a hard day of work, revealing the fruit of labour.
