Urban Design as a Development Strategy: Workshop A, Session 2

The Veronica Rudge Green Prize in Urban Design: Urban Design as a Development Strategy The Rwanda Institute for Conservation Agriculture Campus by MASS Workshop A: The Rwanda Institute for Conservation Agriculture (RICA) and the Veronica Rudge Green Prize in the GSD Tradition Session 2: Evolution of Urban Design Over the Last Four Decades About this event: Established in 1986, the biennial Green Prize recognizes projects that make an exemplary contribution to the public realm of a city, improve the quality of life in that context, and demonstrate a humane and worthwhile direction for the design of urban environments. Eligible projects must include more than one building or open space constructed in the last 10 years. The 15th Veronica Rudge Green Prize in Urban Design has been awarded to the Rwanda Institute for Conservation Agriculture (RICA) campus in Bugesera, Rwanda. With this award, the GSD acknowledges excellence in not just design but also process. Demonstrating a commitment to experimentation, the RICA project sets a new standard for evaluating innovation in the field of urban design. The project was realized through constant negotiation between city officials, motivated designers, and mobilized citizens. This process now serves as a model to educate other cities about implementation pathways. MASS led the master planning, architecture, landscape, engineering, furniture design and fabrication, and construction for the project. This year’s jury includes GSD faculty members Jungyoon Kim, associate professor in practice of Landscape Architecture; Dan Stubbergaard, professor in practice of Urban Design; and Hanif Kara, professor in practice of Architectural Technology. Also on the jury was GSD alumnus Kongjian Yu (1963-2025), professor and founding dean of Peking University College of Architecture and Landscape, and founder and design principal of Turenscape. The jury was chaired by Joan Busquets, Martin Bucksbaum Professor in Practice of Urban Planning and Design at the GSD. 00:00 Session Introduction by Priyamvada Gannavarapu 02:00 Presentation by Christian Benimana Peter Rowe 19:54 Response and Conversation with Peter Rowe, Christian Benimana, Dan Stubbergaard, and Priyamvada Gannavarapu
