SAN ANTONIO – The city’s upcoming 300th anniversary in 20018 has inspired the City of San Antonio to reimagine the “river barge” experience, and is holding a competition to help them decide on a new design.
The City has partnered with the American Institute of Architects, San Antonio Chapter (AIA San Antonio) to hold an international design competition to create a new design for the river barges used on the San Antonio River.
