ARCHISTART FINAL DEGREE COMPETITION
Con objeto de mejorar la visibilidad de los proyectos realizados, ATA2019 ha sido el primer concurso al que ha sido presentado el PFC realizado el año 2018. Independientemente del resultado, siempre es una buena manera de poder realizar una auto-crítica al resultado del proyecto mismo. Este concurso se ubica en Italia, de la mano de la pagina Archistart.net y el objetivo es el mismo de dar voz a todos aquellos proyectos que acaban quedando guardando polvo en el archivo.

DOCUMENTS
FRANK-ARK | Frank J. Martinez Arquitecto 
Saarinen’s team included himself as designer, J. Henderson Barr as associate designer, and Dan Kiley as landscape architect, as well as Lily Swann Saarinen as sculptor and Alexander Girard as painter. In the first stage of the competition, Carl Milles advised Saarinen to change the bases of each leg to triangles instead of squares. Saarinen said that he «worked at first with mathematical shapes, but finally adjusted it according to the eye.» At submission, Saarinen’s plans laid out the arch at 569 feet (173 m) tall and 592 feet (180 m) wide from center to center of the triangle bases.
