The annual international competition recognizes \u201cthe most pioneering and ground-breaking designs\u201d in four broad categories: Architecture, Interior Design, Landscape Architecture, and Construction Product.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom visionary architecture firms and interior design experts to groundbreaking construction products and landscape architecture projects, this awards program encompasses the entire spectrum of design and construction, shaping the world\u2019s urban environments,\u201d the organization stated in its press release.<\/p>\n<p>The jury, a panel of 30 judges that included design professionals, media representatives, entrepreneurs, and academics, chose winning projects from more than 700 entries from 45 countries. The Bleachery Heritage Plaza was named a \u201cJury Top Pick,\u201d which means that it was rated over 80\/100 points by the jury members.<\/p>\n<p>In 2020 Dickey won the commission from the Town of Rock Hill, South Carolina, to design a plaza in what is now called University Center, because of its proximity to Winthrop University. The Bleachery Heritage Plaza pays tribute to the Rock Hill Printing and Finishing Company, which opened in 1929 and was one of the largest cloth printing and finishing companies in the United States. Called The Bleachery, because bleaching cloth is the first stage in the printing process, the company employed almost 5,000 people at its height in the mid 1960s. It closed in the 1990s. <a href=\"https:\/\/cws.charlotte.edu\/backup-coaa\/news\/2022-10-09\/architecture-professors-plaza-design-activates-economic-heart-rock-hill\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more about the manufacturing history of Rock Hill and how that history is represented in Dickey\u2019s design in this feature story<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"full view of Bleachery Heritage Plaza\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cws.charlotte.edu\/backup-coaa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/807\/2024\/06\/Bleachery.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1800\/810;\"><\/p>\n<p> Throughout the design and fabrication process, Dickey hired architecture students as research assistants through her art and design practice, <a href=\"http:\/\/studiodickey.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Studio Dickey<\/a>.
