The Design Build Challenge (DBC) is a three-day design and construction competition, established by Project Locus based in New Orleans. TiLT Community Design Build received a City Arts smART Ventures grant to host and organize the second DBC in March 2008 entitled,
Displaced Populations. The challengers worked with Seattle's Tent Cities communities to develop temporary structures for a toilet and memorial vigil. The winning design, by UW architecture master's students, was a multicolored cube memorial vigil that can collapse and disassemble for mobility. Other designs included toilets and vigils made from reclaimed materials. Thanks to supporters, donors, and sponsors:
Seattle Arts & Culture, Tent Cities and
SHARE/WHEEL, Pb Elemental (now
Alloy Design Group), Forrest Carman and Owen Media,
Steve Badanes and UW-Neighborhood Design/Build,

TiLT Community Design Build, a grassroots coalition of designers, architects, and builders based in
Seattle, WA. TiLT and its members are emboldened by the notion that public art and architecture
can affect positive social change.
