The theme this year was to recreate the city of Venice, a poignant subject for these designers considering the recent flooding and global warming concerns in that area.
Our DC office team of Max Hurley, Cheng Gao, Christen Fairley, Daniel Olberding and Hunter Young created a U-shaped building with a courtyard and also overcame a last-minute roof collapse — all detailed throughout the feature.
