I had fun judging Protocol Architecture's [Recovering Berlin] competition. For more information on the competition and the entries check here: http://protocolarchitecture.wordpress.com/ Also check back soon for the announcement of the winning entries.Protocol Architecture is a group of researchers, artists and architects based in New York City that investigates potentials for future design through the creation and analysis of hyper-fictional documents. These document sets create evidence for future scenarios that string together a specific history of political, social and technological developments.
A discussion at Columbia University GSAPP with Mark Collins of Proxy, Geoff Manaugh of BLDGBLOG and Ed Keller of aum took place to discuss the [Recovering Berlin] entries and remote responses were posted on the site.
