Last Chance to Enter Guggenheim and Google Shelter Design Contest

Our summer-long case of Frank Lloyd Wright fever comes to an end Sunday, with the closing of the Guggenheim’s stellar “Frank Lloyd Wright: From Within Outward” exhibition. So time’s a wasting to enter the global design contest sponsored by Guggenheim and Google (a match-up that we like to call “Googlenheim”). As you may recall, the Design It: Shelter Competition invites amateur and professional designers to use Google Earth and Google SketchUp to create and submit designs for virtual 3-D shelters for a location of their choice anywhere on Earth (anywhere? anywhere!). Two prize winners (one chosen by a jury that includes architect Neil Denari and Pentagram’s Lisa Strausfeld, the other by public voting on ten finalists selected by students at the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture) will be announced on October 21, the 50th anniversary of the Guggenheim Museum’s opening. More than 200 participants from more than 40 different countries have already submitted entries. You’ve got until Sunday.
