The Flint AIA chapter and Flint Public Art Project have unveiled the winner of the first annual Flat Lot Competition, an initiative to design and build a temporary summer pavilion in the central parking lot in downtown Flint, Michigan. The jury chose Two Islands, a London-based team of architects and designers, the receive the $25,000 grand prize for their proposal 'Mark's House.' The project opens June 14 for Flint Art Walk and will remain on the site until Fall.

获胜者的话：
获胜的方案，马克的小屋，是告诉我们一个虚拟的Flint居民的故事，名叫马克哈密尔顿，他因为自家房子被法院收回抵债而流离失所。都铎风格外壳的房子放置在镜面底座上，好像房子是漂浮在半空中一样。房子暗喻了城市所失去的东西，以及正在发展振兴的防线，同时也为楼宇活动提供了顶部遮挡以及舞台。还有，这个构筑可以容纳1500加仑水，这些水在炎夏可以喷洒来降低温度。
From the Winner's Announcement:
The winning proposal, Mark's House, tells the story of an imagined Flint resident, Mark Hamilton, whose family loses a home to foreclosure. The project perches a Tudor-style house clad in reflective panels on top of a mirrored pedestal, giving the structure the appearance of floating in mid-air. The house serves as a metaphor for both what the city has lost, as well as its ongoing revitalization, while also providing a canopy and stage for Flat Lot events. In addition, the structure can hold up to 1,500 gallons of water, which can be released as a cooling spray during hot summer days.
Flint公共艺术方案和AIA-Flint在去年秋季启动了这个竞赛。该竞赛大致上要求不超过八个停车位大小的现代构筑，构筑还需要通过提供如座椅，顶棚，降温设备，舞台设施这类的设备来支持公共活动。全球来自35个国家的将近400个团队注册参加了竞赛，221个参赛作品在3月1日截止日前被最终提交。
Flint Public Art Project and AIA-Flint launched the competition last fall. The competition brief called for a temporary structure that would take up no more than eight parking spaces, and would support public programs by providing amenities such as seating, shade, cooling devices, and a stage for performances. Nearly 400 teams from more than 35 countries around the world registered for the competition, and 221 entries ultimately were submitted by the March 1 deadline.
