The 12 scripts that make up the Revenge of the Lawn are like snapshots in an Architecture Album - vivid, delightfully informal, they cast a new dream light on the un-captured moments of experience, between the political and the personal. In these fantasies and love stories, the relationships and lost histories from Kabul, Little Rock, Tacoma and Peshawar demonstrate an architecture of wit, humanity and originality not previously achieved since writers imagined an architecture of iDeath.
Second Prize: David Iseri, Jefferson Frost, Justin Kruse, Laura Sperry
Third Prize: Grant Gibson, Chris-AnnMarie Spencer
White House Redux: The Book
The White House Redux competition discussed earlier this summer on National Public Radio will soon be a book:
With almost 500 submissions from 42 countries around the world, White House Redux, a competition launched by Storefront for Art and Architecture and Control Group last January, became one of the most talked-about architecture competitions in 2008. The brief was simple: what would the residence of the most powerful individual in the world, the White House in Washington, D.C., look like if it were designed today?
