Prize-winning beard
[Sunday 16 November]
A quick break from issues of iconicity: I put on my environmentalist beard for a few days and went to Marrakech in order to accept a Holcim Award gold medal in the Next Generation category for Africa/Middle East. The project was the anti-desertification sand-to-sandstone scheme, Dune, that I did under the tutelage of Jonas Lundberg and Steve Hardy last year. Thanks to everyone in in Dip 16, to Holcim for having the guts to give the award to such a speculative project, and to all the lovely people I met at the event in Morocco.
Congratulation!
Congratulations Magnus! This was deserved recognition. Sometimes it is lonely to be radical. I think your recognition of vision of the judges to award your visionary project is grand. Let's catch up for a drink sometime when you are not the in the c-lab. jonas
