Have you guys seen this:

Looks interesting, but it'd take a lot of time (and I have to admit that I would be a little concerned with the subjectivity of what is 'inspirational architecture', as an architect, I would look towards things others may not, or not even know of). Still, looks cool. I love the 'mood/stylized' competitions, areas I know I need to work on!

IC,
Thanks for plugging the contest, it is starting to get some real theoretical discussion going amongst the three contestants so far, the contest started last Thursday, we are hoping we get some great entries and help make future architectural contest possible.

MBR,
A lot of the theoretical conversation going on touches on how to make something appear to be an "Architectural Wonder" even if the style isn't historical and playing on the viewers preconcieved conception.

I won't say much more here, but you should look at the Prize and Judges Pages that are linked on the Contest Page linked in the first post. I think you will find that the judging should be excellent and that no layman will be picking just a "pertty picture". I think the judges are extremely qualified.

Thanks again for mentioning the contest, Jeff was nice enough to post a front page news feature when the contest started at the end of last week.

Best regards,

Russell Thomas

Sorry, I was on holiday and didn't notice Jeff had mentioned it.

I thought it might interest some of the guys here, especially with the much-documented lack of a new Challenge.

TheAllusionist · August 12th, 2004

No reason to apologize, we can use all the exposure we can get, thanks!

Thank You!!! I missed it too

The deadline was extended a month, which should give more people a chance to enter and put something together. If nothing else join in on the discussions. We are always looking for more participants to support this type of contest.

I'm having trouble just finding it on your site (blank pages, 404s). In case I'm just being a dope, could you post a direct link?

TheAllusionist · September 3rd, 2004

Ernest, thanks for letting me know you are getting errors when visiting the site, I have heard nothing about this and of course it is working fine for me.

Please let me know if you run into further problems accessing the site, so that I may work on alleviating the problem, thanks again for the response and letting me know you are having problems. Would love to see more comments to spur on the contestants, entries are at the conceptual stage at this point, but some great theoretical discussions so far.

All right, that helped.

I had found one 'gallery' page listed that was empty (your site, no content) and SOMEWHERE else got a 404, but I could not duplicate it now.

Your site is coming along nicely...
