Congrats to 'ministers mole hole' a fun interpretation. A shame the winner and runner up didn't hit the brief, alas, is always the way with the winners, never follow that brief.
Quote ''This is where we need you, the creative minds of the UK (and elsewhere), we believe that
there are two types of home required for MP’s and we need you TO DESIGN THEM.''
Lots of creative designs none the less. Great.
When I was advised of the judges decision I did think there would be a lot of concern that they didn't choose a building. The brief did however allow for people to submit their own unique solutions to the problem if they so wished and the judges were given the discretion to choose one of these if they prefered. Obviously that wasn't the original intent of the project and these types of entry were intended to allow the debate to be more wide ranging.
There was a lot of discussion amongst the judges about this and they all agreed initially that they wanted an actual building to be the winner. The results however are what they finally agreed upon.
It is interesting that the public vote (to the right) completely disagrees with the "experts". We shall see who the eventual winner is when the public vote closes Monday.
Very interesting competition.
Is there going to be an exhibition still? Would love to see some of the entries in more detail.
Really like this one - really nice images. Also really liked the Soapbox and the Stables ones but am glad this one won.
