Figures that a giant rendering would win. Heck even the developer didn’t like the winning entry. Competition Winner Snubbed by Developer. The one thing I do enjoy about all of these though is the ability to see all the entries and how different designers tackle the same problem.
Oh and for what its worth here is my entry. (I collaborated with a friend who is an architecture student who designed the below grade space).
For what its worth, here’s my entry. I only started the project a week before the deadline and spent my free time working on the concept, so what I ended up presenting is what I would consider ‘concept graphics’ not refined renderings like many of the entries had. My mistake. Aside from the ribbon schemes, I think the scheme I chose of a rift or tilted planes was pretty popular, probably for a reason – it makes sense, accomplishing the goals outlined very specifically in the brief with the fewest number of moves. The brief emphasized daylighting, access, and a neighborhood park program. The graphics I included are digital freehand, so I did not build a model as seen in the majority of the entries. I’m not surprised a concept like mine wasnt chosen given the jury. Lesson #2 is know the jury! I joked with my girlfriend that this jury would want to see a field of 100,000 chocolate donuts, but what can I say? I mistakenly followed the brief, including all of what I considered necessary dwgs. I’d love to do another competition just like this tomorrow! Learned so much..
