"The first place recipient was Project Via Aequalitas, and the award was presented to team members Eric Liebmann, AIA, Tim Bertschinger, Megan Shiley, Alex Taylor, and Tom Zych, all with WDG Architecture in Washington, DC. Their winning concept included rethinking the traditional streetscape and creating an elevated ground plane that lets pedestrians move throughout the village uninterrupted by vehicular traffic. In the project’s first phase, Olympic-mode dwellings easily transform into a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments in post-Olympics legacy mode, with only the manipulation of the dwellings’ interior walls."
