Thanks to everyone who came out to last week’s exhibit opening and award celebration at the Soho Gallery for Digital Art (138 Sullivan Street). By our best estimation there were well over 200 people in attendance for the opening. The exhibit, which was up for one a week following the opening officially closes today.

Our thanks goes out to all who helped to make the 2012 Land Art Generator Initiative possible. The results are really quite impressive, and they show what kind of innovation is possible through interdisciplinary collaboration.

We hope you’ll take some time to look through all of the entries to both the 2010 and 2012 editions of the LAGI design competition. Collectively, the participating teams are setting out an example of how beautifully sustainable energy infrastructure can be integrated into the fabric of our constructed environments.

Congratulations to the winning teams! You can read more about their amazing work via these links: First Place Award, Second Place Award, Third Place Mention, Fourth Place Mention
