'Adversaries' to build a village -- and perhaps respect for each other By Jim McKay, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Young architects, builders and craft workers will build a 1920s-style village tomorrow as part of a daylong annual competition that has the side benefit of helping to break down stereotypes among professions.
Nine teams of randomly paired architects, contractors and carpenter apprentices will design and construct a series of storefronts, including a bakery, shoe store, ice cream parlor, hardware store and tavern.
The competition, open to the public, begins at 8 a.m. at the Carpenters Training Center at 222 Second St., Neville Island. Hammers will stop flying by about 3 p.m. when judges will rate each project on design, accuracy in scheduling and estimating and on construction quality.
The teams were introduced to each other two weeks ago to give them time to come up with a design and a building plan that fits a budget, said Ray Vogel, who directs a four-year apprentice program sponsored by the Carpenters District Council of Western Pennsylvania.------------------------------------------- posted 7:52 AM :: reference link ::
