Honorable mention for LUDICITY in Louisville Children's museum competition
Although numerous competitors used strong primary colors to make their presentations stand out, this entry used a subtle, watercolor-like palette to lend a translucent aura to the exterior. This also suggested a program flexibility for what it contained in the interior. The rather deconstructivist exterior also gave a hint of energy on the inside. By lifting the building off the ground and creating a playspace underneath, the issue of a blank wall at pedestrian level along Broadway was avoided in a purposeful manner. Overall, this was a very well-conceived and attractive approach to the challenge.
