I have been contacted by a lot of people who would like to see all of the designs that were submitted for the Texas Grow Home design competition. I started out telling people we would have all the designs posted online by the end of March but that deadline came and went. For those who’ve been waiting patiently, we appreciate your patience and are doing our best to bring the presentation of all the design entries online in the next couple months.
The problem is that each of the design submissions was made in the form of two 20 inch by 20 inch boards. The architects also provided PDF files of the images of each board. Unfortunately these images are too large to effectively post for downloading on the Internet. For purposes of the display at the Texas Capitol an incredibly talented web designer named Adam Stoddart created an interface using Flash that we had running on touchscreen computers. It’s quite beautiful and very clever but porting this over to a web-based presentation is going to take quite a bit of time and a fair amount of money. But we are working on it.
In the meantime, to hold off those who just can’t wait we can burn a computer DVD of the presentation and mail it to folks. You need a DVD-R drive in your computer and you need a fairly fast computer in order to make the presentation work. If you just can’t wait another couple months to see all of the designs you can send us a check for $12 to offset the duplication and postage costs and we will send you a DVD. The address is: TxLIHIS, 508 Powell Street, Austin, TX 78703-5122.
