The landscape architect and urban design entries were dynamic, including one of the few visionary entries that proposed increasing topographical intensity at the edge.

However, the international public that was invited should have increased access to the competition organization. David Meckel, CCA Director of Planning was retained to publicize the competition and select the jury.

Half of the winners were CCA instructors, while the competition boasted 18 nations.

CCA Byron Kuth suggests an inane levee for the dynamic, deep waters of the bay which would destroy the existing coastline.

CCA Faulders’ lasers draw an ugly path around the bay to show the path of future neanderthal earthen dikes. Anyone interested in cutting edge tidal protection can research measures already in effect worldwide.

$75,000 of your tax dollars at work for empty ideas:

1/5/09 BCDC: “The Commission voted to authorize the executive director to enter into a $25,000 (contract) with Meckel Design Consulting to manage an international design competition…” An additional $50,000 from the feds would go to awards.

3 CCA instructors were winners, while the competition boasted 18 nations.

K/R suggests an inane levee for the dynamic, deep waters of the bay which would destroy the existing coastline. Faulders’ lasers draw an ugly path around the bay to show the path of future neanderthal earthen dikes.

There already exist sophisticated dike systems in other countries that aren’t like the superficial walls you imagine.
