  View the COD’s “Branding the American House” Ideas Competition Entries

Entries for the AIA Committee on Design’s international “2008 COD Ideas Competition: Branding the American House” competition are now available for viewing on the COD Web site. The competition invited architects, students, and allied design professionals to submit sketches for a design problem that examined parallels between design professions and the automobile industry. Pictured here is the first-place winner, “REACHOME,” by Daniel V. Scully Architects, which offers a modest, energy-efficient (LEED® certifiable) house with a “car room” to accommodate multi-modal transportation equipment, including the car, bikes, and kayaks. View all the winners on the COD Web site.
