Larry-
I was on the design team that provided the Gate design which starts on 122
through 125 (English version). LEGO® sent us a HUGE box of almost every
element you could imagine, and design standards (parameters) with LEGO®
engineering tools (i.e.- LEGO® graph paper etc.). We then designed the gate
submittal (, and sent it off for the LEGO® master builder to replicate with
the actual bricks.
I think our entry was the best (beng biased of course! :-) - but maybe because
I have a strong
loving relationship with the Columbia River Gorge (where this design concept
originated
from).
The firm used to be SOA (Studio of Architecture), however, they have since
changed their name and affiliate status.
I have the English version - Need direct translations? I have them.
Thanks for your interest on this competition (good luck to you as well in
finding such a rare publication)!
