VaST to Participate in ARCHITECT CHALLENGE

Six of Boulder’s top architects will explore the creative redesign possibilities of 2905 Pearl Street, 800 Pearl Street, and 1309 Spruce Street in a three hour live Challenge at Rembrandt Yard!

Pitting their skills and wits against one another in a friendly and creative atmosphere, two teams will incorporate problem solving design tasks into these three well known buildings.

Come and cheer Joseph Vigil and Jacob Lovoi on during this live design event this Saturday from 5:00 to 8:00 at Rembrandt Yard (1309 Spruce Street, Boulder CO).

VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE AT 9:00 PM!
Each participating architect has chosen a non-profit to benefit from the evening’s event. 10% of all proceeds collected at the door will be distributed to each of these non-profits.
