    SMoCA has organized a design competition and pursuant exhibition that will foster creative, new thinking about adaptive re-use and renovation of the strip shopping plazas that line the streets of Scottsdale, Phoenix and Tempe and virtually every municipality in the metropolitan area. An oversupply that is underused, such strip plazas define the streetscapes of many towns. Many are, of course, dilapidated eyesores. Yet many are home to small restaurants, sole proprietorships and mom-and-pop businesses that can be wonderfully unique, entrepreneurial concerns, highly responsive to community needs. Ringed by parking, the strip malls have great potential for live/work development and architectural upgrades. This competition/exhibition will look at options for making strip malls economically viable, aesthetically interesting and communally meaningful.
