Lecture: Losing well
Samir Haddad on what a second prize in Bergen taught the competition team.


Competitions are mostly lost. Samir Haddad's lecture at the Bergen School of Architecture was about losing well.
Our Bergen entry came second. The winning scheme was lighter, cheaper and probably right for the fjord. We learned more from the jury report than from any first prize.
The roof study from that entry is now on the wall of the Rotterdam model shop.
