12/06/2008 Entry: "Flip a Strip"

Strip malls define our streetscapes. Here, and in suburbs across the country, strip malls are a fact of life. They are the wallflowers of thousands of streetscapes that millions of people travel daily. To envision a new future for this lowly (yet overabundant) building stock, SMoCA initiated a national competition that resulted in this exhibition of innovative proposals by a total of 35 architectural teams from around the country, for flipping local strip malls in Scottsdale, Tempe and Phoenix.
