ABOUT

The design competitions presented here are the work of Donald J. Stastny FAIA FAICP FCIP and Jennifer Mannhard AICP. We design processes that allows designers to create their best work. We create an environment that is inclusive, transparent, and educational. Our processes deliver designs that balance aesthetics, cost, contractibility, regulatory constraints, maximized long-term value, and environmental efficiency. We understand how the competition process can inspire design excellence, and we create the most appropriate and effective process to obtain the best from designers. Our competitions attract the most innovative designers because the processes are not only engaging and laboratories for innovation, but are also based on integrity, fairness, and respect for the participants.
