Winners:
New Park Station - Felix Heidgen & Thomas Nagy - a new type of community planning that aims to bring together diverse neighborhoods of Newark, New Jersey. The volumes of stacked containers are elevated on pilotis and the ground level is kept open as a stage for social and commercial interaction for the residents and the city at large. The ground level urban park, combined with the rooftop garden serve as a melting pot for residents of the complex and the city. 
Modulaire - Hugo Mijares, Tulio Lopez & Ricardo Hernandez - a design in which systems have been kept simple - direct and largely passive. The life of the building is interactive with the energy it demands and with the inception on the site and it’s surroundings. Their strategy consists of dignifying high-density housing with open, community spaces, energy efficient design and will engage it's residents.
Lego + Farm - Tang & Yang Architects, LLC: Ming Tang & Dihua Yang - The central feature of this project is the development of a modular structure that exhibits characteristics of cellular organizations, with the potential of arranging a large quantity of shipping containers into a complex system in a manner similar to the Lego game. Named as Lego Farm, the development includes a mixed-use complex, as well as an urban farm, which include many sustainable elements such as roof garden, solar panel, wind turban, rainwater harvesting and compost chamber, can produce a healthy urban agricultural farm.
