A project for new public space among Sofia's post-socialist tower blocks that I helped conceive and manage won a New European Bauhaus Prize. We transformed the rooftop of a parking building with lots of art. We built an outdoor stage, seating, food pavilions, sports facilities and a playground. Local residents were an integral part of the design process. This is the 3rd year in a row that my organization, The Collective, has been shortlisted for the prestigious New European Bauhaus prizes, and the 2nd year in a row that we receive a prize. We can hardly believe it ourselves. The organization itself is only 4 years old! We keep dreaming up and building great shared spaces.
