Thanks in advance

I looked at it. I am in C-ville where the comp is, so the site survey would be a snap. 100 bucks is WAY too much in my book for a competition.

thinking about it.
does anyone have any advice for a first time comp. entrant?
is this a good opportunity to add content to a fledgling portfolio?
worth 100 bones?

If you want to put some meat on the old bones portfolio there are plenty of other opportunities that dont cost that much, but thats just my humble money broke oppinion.

The question of housing is stupid until you’ve made your peace with that question—it’s stupid. So is the idea to give everyone a kitchen, bathroom, a room for the kiddies, and a room for mom and dad to fuck—the modernist dream is stupid unless you ask political questions. Like who is going to get the house? Under what circumstances are they going to be given it, and is it a collective responsibility for a culture to make certain that a human has warmth at night or not? Till you ask those questions, housing is stupid
