Friday, Mar 14, 2014

1st Place: "Chapter Thirteen by Kevin (Pang-Hsin) Wang and Nicholas O'Leary

Think you're too old for fairy tales? The submissions in Blank Space's first Fairy Tales Architecture Competition can make you believe otherwise.

  • 2nd PLACE (US$600): Man and Ground by Anna Pietrzak
  • 3rd PLACE (US$400): Oscar Upon A Time by Joseph Altshuler, Mari Altshuler & Zachary Morrison.

Ten Honorable Mentions were also awarded:

  • Detroit S.A.R. by and Ya Suo Rania Ghosn
  • The Secret Life of New World Towers by Berenika Boberska
  • Hypnagogic set of events experienced by 132x12866y78z by Zygmunt Maniaczyk and Marcin Kitala

Winners, Honorable Mentions, and select entries will be published in the first issue of Blank Space Magazine and other media outlets. Happily ever after, indeed.

Check out the winning narratives below.

1st PLACE: “Chapter Thirteen” by Kevin (Pang-Hsin) Wang and Nicholas O’Leary

 

1st Place: "Chapter Thirteen by Kevin (Pang-Hsin) Wang and Nicholas O'Leary

"Mesmerizing, powerful images depict a bucolic yet futuristic world where a damsel in distress, Alice as a grown-up, is planning her escape from a setting that is no longer a wonderland, but a city that architecture has rendered unwelcoming and suffocating. Penning the 13th chapter to Carroll’s book, this submission actualizes a profoundly familiar fairy tale setting infused with new architectural forms, while elaborating on architecture’s failures and weaknesses."

2nd PLACE: “Man and Ground” by Anna Pietrzak

"Minimalistic, evocative black and white images accompany a poetic analysis on the role of the ground as an architectural element, and as the co-protagonist of the architect’s life, as a man and as creator."

Third Place: “Oscar Upon A Time” by Joseph Altshuler, Mari Altshuler & Zachary Morrison
