Grand Prize Winner #144 Laura Wagner Judges Comments: Very
generous in its scope and outreach to the existing urban fabric. Upward
dynamic of buildings: very positive gesture as are the ideas of food and “green
roof urban framing.” Presentation is clear, complete, illustrating the intention
with an economy of means. Second Place Winner #119 David Brown Judges Comments: This scheme does a very good job of making edges and open space that respond to the existing conditions. Great as a generator for future adjacent development. Third Place Winner #136 Dana Topley, Justin Markland, Ayiz Momim, Michael McGrath, John Mills Judges Comments:Urban water features are generally favorites with the greater public. While it can be debated whether an open space is what is needed in the “gulch,” this water feature engages the public in several tactile and immediate ways: the beach, the hovering programmable space, the farming tract and its relationship to transportation.Honorable Mention #141 David Gange Judges Comments: Smart
infrastructural idea. Honorable Mention #126 Brandon Shigeta & Robert Alexander Judges Comments: Incremental
revitalization at the scale of the parking space seems somehow hopelessly romantic
but, on the other hand, hopeful that a community could reconfigure its
landscape without the heavy hand of the bulldozer and the mega project. |
