WAM Plaza Design Competition

This weekend was the Weisman Art Museum Grand Reopening Gala (Saturday, Oct. 1) and WAMdemonium (Sunday, Oct. 2nd). The new expansion featured our team’s design competition materials for a new public plaza at the east end of the Washington Avenue Pedestrian and Bike bridge. Kick off festivities started Saturday night. Bob Kost, Director of Planning & Urban Design at SEH, was invited to attend the reopening gala with hundred of arts patrons including the wold renown architect, Frank Gehry. It was an exciting weekend. We look forward to presenting to the professional jury and the public on October 26th.
