In today's urban spaces, we find ourselves waiting in the public realm for a significant amount of time in our life and waiting, as our Director Marco Frascari states is inseparable from the human behaviour of contemplation. This year, the school was to design a bus shelter for the campus O-Train station, a place of waiting and thinking. As always, the assignment is to do a hand drawing that responds conceptually (and this time technically) to the site and theme. The work had very little grad student input this year for some reason, myself included as having no submission. Here are the notable drawings pinned up for the contest, and consequently all of the finalists:
2nd Prize:
3rd prize. This design was more sensible than the former, but dropped to third place for doing a computer model for a hand-drawing contest. It's surprising it made it this far.
1st Place: by Mario Sebastian Savone in fourth year. Congratulations!
This one was interesting to me. The form of the building was the most exciting and resolved of the lot. Unfortunately, whoever did it chose to do a model and call it 'This is not a Drawing.' Too bad, missed the mark on the one single requirement.
