LA _ Park Proposals Gone Wild - the "CORNFIELD" competition

contemax

Los Angeles - Design competitions leave too many good ideas out of the mix.

"Hopefully they will realize that this type of thinking provides them with even more of what they want,..." Corner



has someone further information, pics or the link to an official competition-site?

yo! please (note: I said please) search through the other threads before making a post. (i.e. make use that nifty search window placed at the bottom of the discussions page.) You may even find what you want instead of getting a response to your inquiry.

We've had a 3 month long run discussing about the cornfield's park competition and all things urban in Los Angeles...

now go have some turkey and come back to archinect after the big football game.

Conte- you've made some smart posts so far, I'd like to keep playing in the sand box with you. if not football, then we can play cowboys and indians, smeer bodypaints all over or whatever!

How real do the project descriptions have to be to earn the pointz? I'll be happy to split the pointz with Heather how's london? Ring for posting the links to each pdf. 'cause the only descriptions available are the text on the boards for the hypothetical design and the press on the boards/presentations. As these boards are not the actural design, but just concepts to win the job, what are those project descriptions really worth?
