Competition to reimagine I.M. Pei's historic Sarasota dorm complex selects Sweet Sparkman design
A winner has been announced in the competition to design an upgrade to I.M. Pei’s early-60s cluster of dormitory buildings at the New College of Florida’s Sarasota campus. Jointly with the college, Architecture Sarasota has selected a proposal from Sweet Sparkman Architecture & Interiors that will deliver a new athletics complex and enhance circulation on that area of campus while preserving the existing Palm Court structures as reimagined student housing. The design produced by the 19-year-old local firm was chosen over two others from Brooks+Scarpa and STUDIOS Architecture after the three-firm shortlist was announced in early September. An in-person presentation from the three finalists helped judges to vet their proposals. Each finalist received a $10,000 honorarium for their efforts.Read the full post on Bustler
