Overall I think I made a pretty good showing. It's interesting to see that I had a lot of the same ideas as some of the finalists, though their focus was somewhat different. The main difference I see is in presentation: Many of the entrants are clearly using a particular style of architectural presentation that's hip these days, except for these folks, who used a more traditional Landscape Architecture approach.
Anyway, I didn't expect to win, so it's not too surprising that I didn't make it into the finals. There were something like 270 entrants, and many of those were teams of architects. Still, I was sheltering a little candle of hope, and that's been snuffed out. Oh well, I'll study the finalists (and other entrants when they're published) and learn from their innovations.
