CORRECTION: I think in the recording I said Amanda Levete was on the jury for Exhibit Columbus; I was wrong. It was Lise Anne Couture, and I'm an idiot.
Excellent pics of the process and proposals on Exhibit Columbus' Facebook page, and also their Instagram.
Now that the Wine Boxes are being stacked in your backyard, suddenly critical are we? NIMBYS!
Who's backyard? LA? I think that many are slow to catch up, but the people on the ground; they know what's what.

Thought Re: Paul Revere Williams-
The comments about his versatility are interesting in a time when so many firms make the claim that their work is not dictated by any specific style. His was developed at as a means to manage the expectations the client had of his ability in contrast to it bring a virtue of the fine of the office. In some cases this flexibility with design has been branded as internal "curation."
versatility with beautiful proportions - Paul Revere Williams
