Apparently I Should Have Entered This Competition
So yesterday I was browsing my sites and stumbled upon news that the winners of the ACSA Green Competition had been announced. Upon clicking the link, I had this jump off the page at me:
The master plan of the winning entry.
“Hmmm,” I thought to myself. “Where have I seen that before?”
My studio project from second term of first year.
It’s not bang on, obviously, and the competition project is much larger. But the striated nature of the plan- and the use of those striations as elements to be pushed and pulled to create the form- is pretty damn similar to what I designed well over a year ago now.
And I was ready to leave it at that- four straight months of looking at nothing but images of the San Francisco shoreline will make me forever think that any plan that has a body of water on its righthand side is a plan of bloody pier.
Then I went on to read that the competition was based on an ACTUAL PIER that is IN SAN FRANCISCO.
So, yeah- apparently I should have entered that competition.
