Gold
Omar Hason and Walker Holt
University of Oregon, Alumni
Jury Comment:
”It is an elegant solution. The metaphor of breaking through the Rock is very strong. It’s a controversial gesture, and its bold, and that’s Steve Prefontaine right there.”
SILVER
Sarath Saitongin
Städelschule Architecture Class, Alumni
Jury Comment:
”You would see this from far away. It rises up and addresses the distant view while gracefully traversing the hillside at the ground plane.”
BRONZE
Marteen Jimenez
Portland State University
Jury Comment:
”I like the relationship that this memorial has to distant viewing - it succeeds in elevating above the trees in a deferential way to the landscape. It addresses the challenge of scaling the memorial to moments when it is most meaningful.”
