ÒFollyÓ is a design/build competition
co-sponsored by the Architectural League
and Socrates Sculpture Park, which invites
emerging architects and designers to
propose contemporary interpretations of the
architectural folly, traditionally a fanciful,
small-scale building or pavilion sited in a
garden or landscape to frame a view or
serve as a conversation piece.
This yearÕs ÒFollyÓ winner is Austin +
Mergold. As winners, they received
a grant and a two-month residency in Socrates
Sculpture ParkÕs outdoor studio, in addition to
the opportunity to build their project to scale
for exhibition in the Park.
