Congrats to all of the winners for the National Mall Competition, but we at (a)biotic have a vested interest in the OLIN & Weiss/Manfredi winning entry for Sylvan Theater. Ben worked with the team many, many long hours and is proud of the result.  The team competed for two of the three sites, Sylvan Theater and Constitution Garden A special tip of the hat to Mr. Peter Walker who Ben had said from the beginning was the "West Coast Sleeper" and the man to beat for Constitution Garden.  We would also like to acknowledge Andropogon's beautiful entry and insightful response for Constitution Garden.  It is our understanding that if the jury has anything to say about it, the pond will be renovated per their recommendation.
