White House Redux

At Control Group we provide technology services for designers, particularly architects. We've wanted to be involved in a design competition since we started the company almost 8 years ago.

In 2006, we started working with Storefront for Art and Architecture, an organization that we knew was recognized throughout the design community and beyond for their tireless dedication to the arts. Together, in 2007, we held our first competition featuring exemplary graduate and undergraduate work from the top design schools in the Northeastern United States. Control Group assembled all of the submissions and hosted an all star jury to select the winners. In August of 2007, Storefront hosted the Storefront / Control Group Student Design Awards.

Now in 2008, we're excited to be working with Storefront again and thrilled that the White House Redux competition has been so well received. Again in August, we will work with Storefront to prepare a great exhibit and greet the winners.

"What if the White House, the ultimate architectural symbol of political power, were to be designed today? On occasion of the election of the 44th President of the United States of America, Storefront for Art and Architecture, in association with Control Group, challenge you to design a new residence for the world's most powerful individual. The best ideas, designs, descriptions, images, and videos will be selected by some of the world's most distinguished designers and critics and featured in a month-long exhibition at Storefront for Art and Architecture in July 2008. All three winners will be flown to New York to collect their prizes at the opening party. Register now and send us your ideas for the Presidential Palace of the future!"
