Starchitects vs. Architects break it down (for a good cause)

LET'S PLAY!!!!!!
On Tuesday night, LVHRD had one of their many infamous competitions with multi-disicplinary fim Weiss/Manfredi and the less known, unconventional firm FRONT Studio (The only asian women owned arch firm)

" Both groups will receive 30 minutes to plan their structure and 90 minutes to build a model from a surprise material, followed by a 10 minute demonstration of their creation. "

Weiss/Manfredi is really throwing it down. I first noticed their work when in 2007, TIME Magazine named their Olympic Sculpture Park in Seattle #3 in “The 10 Best (New and Upcoming) Architectural Marvels.

Olympic Sculpture Park in Seattle, Washington.

FRONT STUDIO, on the other hand is quite a pleasant surprise. I mean, are they really the only Asian women owned firm in the U.S? Yen Ma and Michi Yanagishiya studied together at Carnegie Hall, where they came together with a passion for architecture, design, and food. Their website also links to their LUNCH, a simple lovely blog about the things they eat daily.


"....A reminder to stop, chill, breathe in fresh air and most importantly - EAT. Architects by profession, we're also ladies who lunch. "

Awwwww. So Adorable.
