Local Press: ArtsCriticATL blog, "Lively emerging architects exhibit at MoDA makes research sexy" YAF ATL - MASS 2011  First Place #21 Ryan Blanner, Trevor McAllister, Andre James “Easily deployable and easily transportable. This scheme has a huge upside for advertising.” “Great
portability and accessibility. Doesn't take multiple food trucks, or
multiple sets of these to create an engaging environment.”  Second Place #42 Luke Wilkinson, Gavin Johns “Strong rhetorical idea, love the idea of giant pots. Great graphics.” “You
get to eat outdoors, and you're under a tree, what's better? It's
ingenious because it's portable but you could actually leave it in
parking lots without compromising their vehicular usage.” "I
think it's one of the strongest in terms of the spaces created, even
though, in a way, it's using the feelings and emotions generated by the
vegetation to create the spaces instead of actual physicality.”  Third Place #36 Jereme Smith, Jerome Martin"Strongest attractor and the scheme with the greatest potential for spectacle. This one would encourage new forms of behavior.”  Honorable Mention #17 Jonathan Baker“There is a variety of strong, yet attractive spaces that would draw patrons. There's lots of shade, which we all know is crucial if people are supposed to linger.”  Honorable Mention #26 Kellen Minor “Very artfully presented, love the tractor!” “Strong presentation and a good systems approach to the issue, in terms of using a kit-of-parts concept.”  Honorable Mention # 14 Nicholas Criscione, Jason Falcone “Very
approachable solution. Offers lots of inherent modularity and
possibilities in terms of customization. On site storage could even turn
into revenue generating advertising opportunities.” “More than any other scheme, I could see this one being deployed now. It's ready to go.” Local Press: ArtsCriticATL blog, "Lively emerging architects exhibit at MoDA makes research sexy" |
