The Chronicle of Higher Education is asking readers for back-of-the-envelope designs for the George W. Bush Library at Southern Methodist University. Although your idea won’t have an impact on the real library (which will be designed by celebrity architect Robert A. Stern), this will be a chance for you to vent your frustrations/adoration for this country’s current president.
They want designs that are “serious, humorous, adventurous, or all of the above. You could win a sleek iPod Touch.” I know I’ll enter, and I know exactly what the plan entails (yes, it would fit on the back of an envelope). Deadline is 1 February 2008. Visit the Chronicle to learn more about this ingenious competition.
