Xefirotarch has officially been granted 1st prize in this year's PS1 MOMA Young Architect's Program. His winning proposal will be built in June and ready for the opening on the 24th.
I can't believe that pompous dilettante won. Did anyone else see his SCI-Arc installation? It was an unmitigated disaster of copper and shrink wrap. If the maya goons get that thing built I'll eat an AOL CD. Hell, it'll be a step down from n_architects "bamboo steamer" and even I thought that was a low point. I'd have picked Sarah Whiting and Ron Witte based on reputation alone.
