Thanks for letting us know, Jon. It's a terrific design.
I hadn't read this thread until today. Sorry to hear about your father as well. Hang in there! |

| I saw this thread last week and was keeping my fingers crossed that your design would take the cake. Sorry to hear that it did not make the final cut - your design was and IS truly amazing and beautiful to look upon. |

Jon,
I've been following your updates on here. (Naughty!)
I'm Charles Rist, one of the other finalists.
I found out that I also did not win, but I do not know who did either.
I believe out of the final 4 that Draper's was the most achievable. (I don't know for sure)
He used a cranked construction method much like the London Eye, which I think may have swung it. (No pun intended)
Anyway, commiserations and chin up! We're British!?

Congrats on being a finalist. The competition must've been incredibly talented. |

Oh J,
I am sorry you didn't win. IT was a truly amazing . I do not know how anyone could have topped that. |

| Too bad Jon.... I still preferred your design over the others. |

| could you sell prints of the design? it would make a neat poster. |

R U KIDDING ME!!! That's a shame. Sorry to hear, but what are they thinking? By far the most attractive monument. I am still amazed at your skill.
I mentioned it before, but I would like a print of your designs.
Oh what could've been a truly spectacular tribute!

| Wow, that's too bad. It was the most eye catching for sure. Sorry it didn't work out, you have a lot of talent though, and that should take you far! :-) |

I think you've nailed the reason here... It likely did not boil down to aesthetics, but rather to feasibility, they don't want a fantastic structure, they want a cheap structure.. |

If Mr.Draper's design did win it is a sad thing, not just for you, but for good design.
It will mean that the judges went for what they saw as a "practical" if stolid design, fearing that your's, as well as Mr Wittt's similar if less elegant designs were not feasible. Of course yours is tricky, but so is the work of such architects as F. Gherry and S.Calatrava, spiral compression-tension elements have only become normal with the advent of computerized modeling. Some people still think of doing anything structural the Romans couldn't do as being rather sketchy. The Draper design's structure was first carried off for the Colossus of Rhodes. How very daring.
Your's was clearly the best option.

Cant believe it was down to feasability - they could of got Fosters onto it and their engineers would of sussed it out with no problem. I have no doubt yours would of become an iconic British image/landmark and one hell of a legacy.
Gutted for you mate, I really am. |

| Well, crap. It remains an incredibly wonderful and amazingly conceived design - clearly remarkable. They can't take that away. |

See if the imperial war museum would be interested.

Can't post links. Check the Telegraph's online article today.
It appears the winner was not in the shortlist.

That's quite a unique finalist they chose, six on shortlist and the seventh one won it!! Perhaps it's a bit of backscratching going on, I would never venture to suggest brown-nosing:)
Anyway, are you going to stick around a while, Charles?? If so, welcome on board. |

How incredibly bizarre! Why didn't they add it to the list? It would have cut down on some hard feelings, I would think...

well that is fairly boring.
I still think yours was ten times better, to look at to marvel at. |
