当旧金山的镇长哈维•柏拿•米尔克带着手提扩音器在市场和卡斯特罗街交叉点聚集大量人群，他促成了一场同性恋权益运动。而后，这位全美首屈一指的同性恋政治家米尔克不幸被暗杀，因此，就在同一个地方，成千上万的人们为他哀悼，甚至还有更多的人要来缅怀他。

人们常常设想是否能有这样一个地点，让人们用以缅怀米尔克和“同性恋权益运动”。因此，哈维米尔克广场的想法应运而生，人们可以通过国际设计竞赛的模式，来创造空间。

这场比赛是重新设计旧金山同性恋社区，以纪念哈维米尔克的重要贡献，并让人们更加了解他在同性恋公民权益斗争中的作用。

由匿名捐助者通过Horizon基金会捐助了50万美元的初步资金，用于支持设计竞赛和后期的广场施工。同时我们也正在进行额外的筹资工作，所有费用（包括设计、施工以及维护）约为1000万美元。有意捐款的人士可以访问以下网址：friendsofharveymilkplaza.org，也可从中查阅有关比赛的更多信息。


竞赛愿景

2017年1月，哈维米尔克广场的友好人士举行了两次会议，收集社区人们对新广场的设想理念。与会者讨论了如何最好地纪念哈维•柏拿•米尔克在纪念/艺术设施中的贡献，创造公共空间，以及如何设计所有人都可以使用的安全空间。

在社区会议期间，他们总结出3个问题用以征求意见：

• 如何通过设计让人们意识到哈维米尔克对同性恋公民权利的贡献？
• 如何通过设计强调广场作为通往卡斯特罗和公众聚集空间的枢纽关系？
• 如何通过设计使广场安全地供所有用户使用？
  

卡斯特罗邻里居民和广场使用者表达了激发艺术的欲望，鼓励人们更多地了解哈维•柏拿•米尔克。社区希望提交的作品能够将广场塑造成一个能用于庆祝、哀悼或抗议的公共集空间，同时在清晨和夜晚具有安全性。

设计团队应该关注过去，引领未来，展示艺术，激发下一代公民倡导者，以及LGBT领导者，并且呼吁边缘化少数民族的团结。

When San Francisco Supervisor Harvey Milk took his bullhorn and rallied crowds at the intersection of Market and Castro Streets, he inspired a generation and helped forge the LGBT civil rights movement. And when Milk was assassinated as one of the nation’s first openly gay politicians, it was in this same place that thousands mourned, and many more still come to this day to remember.
Now steps are underway to finally make this hallowed ground a fitting tribute to both Milk and the gay rights movement. A major re-imagining of Harvey Milk Plaza is underway, with an international design competition to create the space.
This competition’s aim is to redesign this space at the historic heart of San Francisco’s LGBT community to honor the significant contributions of Harvey Milk as well as to recognize his role in the ongoing struggle for LGBT civil rights.
Initial funding in the amount of $500K USD to support the design competition and subsequent plaza development has been provided by an anonymous donor via the Horizon’s Foundation. Additional fundraising efforts are underway to secure the additional $10 million USD required for the full funding of the design, construction, and maintenance of the plaza. Those interested in supporting the plaza with a financial gift may visit friendsofharveymilkplaza.org to donate or receive more information on the competition.

VISION
In January 2017, the Friends of Harvey Milk Plaza held two meetings to collect the community’s vision for a new plaza. Attendees shared ideas on how best to honor Harvey Milk’s contributions in a memorial/art installation, create a public space, and design a safe space that is accessible by all.
During the community meetings, feedback was solicited in three areas:

• How can design recognize the contributions of Harvey Milk to LGBT civil rights as public art in the plaza?
• How can design enhance the plaza as a gateway to the Castro and public gathering space?
• How can design serve to make the plaza safe and accessible to all users?
  

Castro neighborhood residents and users of the plaza in attendance expressed the desire for inspirational art that stirs emotions and encourages people to learn more about the plaza’s namesake, Harvey Milk. The community hopes submissions will shape the space into one that may be used for public gatherings in time of celebration, mourning, or protest, while remaining safe and secure in the early morning hours and evenings.
Design teams should look to the past to inspire and inform the future, presenting art that inspires the next generation of citizen advocates, LGBT leaders and allies to any marginalized minorities.
