入围者是在PXSTL组织者的招标过程之后从一组从业人员中选出的，代表了不同的视野、视角和方法。他们在公共空间的工作和从各种创造性过程中整合原则的能力体现了该项目的跨学科重点，并支持对这种竞争如何应对城市挑战的有力探索。这位获胜的候选人将于2013年初由普利策(Pulitzer)员工和山姆·福克斯学院(Sam Fox School)教职员工组成的小组选出，他们将获得5万美元的项目预算和1万美元的酬金，以创建一个临时的、基本上可以自我维持的建筑、景观战略或其他类似的干预措施。

The finalists were chosen from a group of practitioners following a solicitation process from PXSTL organizers, and represent a diversity of vision, perspective, and approach. Their work in public spaces and ability to integrate principles from a variety of creative processes exemplify the cross-disciplinary focus of the project and support a robust exploration of how this type of competition can address urban challenges. The winning candidate, to be selected in early fall 2013 by a panel composed of members of the Pulitzer staff and the Sam Fox School faculty, will receive a $50,000 project budget and a $10,000 honorarium to create a temporary, largely self-sustaining construction, landscape strategy, or other similar intervention.

这场竞赛扩大了从1980年开始并一直持续到现在的大中心的协调，并通过试验短期建筑、景观美化、短暂的媒体以及意想不到的建筑材料和技术，探索了城市规划和发展的创新方法。这是普利策学院和山姆·福克斯学校共同致力于重新思考圣路易斯未来的一个直接成果，它建立在圣路易斯城市长期传统的基础上，即特定地点的项目和临时设施，为随后的发展提供信息。圣路易斯1300英亩的森林公园仍然印有1904年世界博览会的印记.在一个多世纪的城市规划者眼中，“网关购物中心”如今以Eero Saarinen的网关拱门(1966)、理查德·塞拉(Richard Serra)的“吐温”(1981)和“城市花园”为荣。

The competition expands upon the reconception of Grand Center, which began in 1980 and continues through the present, and explores innovative approaches to urban planning and development by 2experimenting with short-term constructions, landscaping, ephemeral media, and unexpected architectural materials and techniques. A direct outgrowth of the Pulitzer and the Sam Fox School’s shared commitment to rethinking the future of St. Louis, it builds upon the city’s long tradition of site-specific projects and temporary installations informing subsequent development. St. Louis’ 1,300-acre Forest Park still bears the stamp of the 1904 World’s Fair. The Gateway Mall, a gleam in the eye of civic planners for more than a century, today boasts Eero Saarinen’s Gateway Arch (1966), Richard Serra’s Twain (1981), and Citygarden.

PXSTL是普利策(Pulitzer)、山姆福克斯学校(Sam Fox School)和圣路易斯(St.Louis)的缩写，它将在格兰德中心(Grand Center)中心的一片空地上启动，该中心由普利策(Pulitzer)拥有，位于普利策(Pulitzer)的正对面，并伴随着一系列邀请公众参与建筑环境的项目，并促进关于不断发展的城市中心所面临挑战的对话，城市发展的创新解决方案，以及社区参与和行动的重要性。

PXSTL, an acronym which stands for the Pulitzer, Sam Fox School, and St. Louis, will culminate in the activation of an empty lot in the heart of Grand Center, owned by and located directly across from the Pulitzer, and be accompanied by a set of programs that invite the public to engage with the built environment and foster a dialogue about the challenges faced by evolving urban centers, innovative solutions to city growth, and the significance of community engagement and action.

每个入围者将在夏季期间获得酬金，进行初步的实地访问，制定完整的概念性提案，并向甄选小组和社区利益攸关方作最后陈述。在7月30日，决赛者将参加一个公共项目，提供机会向更大的社区介绍他们的概念和参与。节目将包括正式的Q。

Each finalist will receive an honorarium to, over the course of the summer, conduct an initial site visit, develop a full, conceptual proposal, and make a final presentation to the selection panel and community stakeholders. On July 30, the finalists will participate in a public program that provides an opportunity to present their concepts to and engage with the larger community. The program will include a formal Q&A session, invite casual conversation with the finalists during an open session on the vacant site, and offer an opportunity for visitors to provide feedback.
