When construction began on the White House on October 13 , 1792 , no one could have envisioned we ’d have the historic wash of 2008 . A mass has change since the late 1790s , and the Storefront for Art & Architecture decided to withstand the White House Redux rivalry to solicit idea : a new White House for a new president . With the exposition openingtomorrow nightat their business district Manhattan location , it ’s metre to see for ourselves if the star - studded jury made the veracious call for the futurity of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue . All the shivery futurist photo get after the jump . Grant Gibson and the team at Chris - Annmarie Spencer snagged a tie for the third space jury pillage , and they ’re a thousand votes out front in the ongoing democratic vote ( it close Nov. 2 ) with an debut that proclaims , “ Ornament can not be see as a tectonic or corporeal expression . ” How this justifies place a new White House directly on top of the existing one , we ’re not sure , but we admire their bravery in creating “ environmental moods and experiences ” :
Wayne Congar tied Gibson ’s team for the third place jury prize with White House 2.0 . He views the White House as a computer processing an countless current of feedback from the populace at large .
