City Council Honors Mayor’s Urban Design Award Winners
Awards Have Recognized Projects That Foster Community Since 2006
The Mayor’s Urban Design Awards (MUDA) were presented at today’s Las Vegas City Council meeting. The awards were given to 2018 projects that foster the city’s commitment to sustainability and livability.
The awards also recognize projects that cultivate walkways and streets that are shared public spaces, promote safety, conserve resources, preserve historic buildings and places, seamlessly link to their surroundings and are pedestrian-friendly.
The MUDA categories include Building and Environment; Historic Preservation and Adaptive Reuse; Public Art; and Public Places.
The winner in the Building and Environment category is Fremont 9, a multifamily residential project at 901 Fremont St., designed by the Wolff Company.
In the Historic Preservation and Adaptive Reuse category, there was a tie. The two winners are Jammyland Cocktail Bar and Reggae Kitchen, 1121 S. Main St., designed by Rob Gurdison, Allan Katz and Danielle Crouch, and The Underground at The Mob Museum, located at 300 Stewart Ave.
The winner in the Public Art category is Radial Symmetry, the new sculpture by Luis Varela-Rico is located where Main and Commerce streets split.
Finally, the MUDA in the Public Places category went to the Main Street Beautification Project. This project has resulted in wider sidewalks, tree-lined streets, new public art and overhead bistro lighting.
