most of you are likely aware that a competition to design a pedestrian bridge to the new volkswagen factory in chattanooga has been brewing down south. well, WAR EAGLE! 'cause a team from auburn won! michael glenboski and dylan cook took the $2,500 prize for their tiered bridge and tower which referenced VW's mid century ad campaign 'think small' :
"the jurors were enchanted by the entry’s clever mocking of a VW 'think small' advertisement and by the 182-foot tower that rises from the bridge. in their proposal, the students urged VW to 'think tall.'"
can't say i lurve the design, but congrats anyway!
oops, forgot that link [nytimes]

that's urgly as hell. is there a website or anything? maybe that's not their best renderin'. maybe i need more information.
why didn't lil' macbeth and kevin win? i thought they had this locked down.
I guess the Tennessee team lost because they didn't put an 80-foot Vdub logo on theirs.
the TN team probably lost because they pulled a coakley and thought they had it in the bag because it's to be sited in their state.
