Billings Montana Architecture.

The BAA design competition is an architecture design competition hosted in Billings, Montana. This year’s prompt was to create a three-season pavilion for a minimum of 75 people in North Park, Billings, MT.

I took third in this year’s competition.  Kurt had a nice project and took second. 1st place went to a project that I thought looked like a crappy version of my project, I am very biased though haha,  see comparison Below.  All the entries can be viewed here https://www.facebook.com/pg/aiabillings/photos/?tab=album&album_id=1637011242993207

The brothers raced, Jim yelling back at Paul “last one to the top of The Hill is a
rotten egg!” Once at the top of The Hill the brothers took in the neighborhood.
They could see all the way to their house five blocks away. Construction of
The Hill had been completed just under a year ago. Before that, the boys never
spent much time in North Park, but since the construction, it seemed they were
in the park nearly every day, after school and on weekends. The Hill served as
a landmark for all the neighborhood kids to meet up. It seemed that something
was always happening at The Hill: Outdoor movies, concerts, car shows, arts
festivals, fancy parties and, their favorite, sledding in winter. The boys climbed
to the top on warm summer evenings to watch ball games and city fireworks on
the 4th of July. Even when there was nothing happening at The Hill it was still
fun to race your brother to the top.
