<p><b>Guggenheim Sketchup Design it: Shelter</b></p>
<p>On the occasion of the exhibitions <a href="http://www.guggenheim.org/wright" target="_self"><em>Frank Lloyd Wright: From Within Outward</em></a> and <a href="http://www.guggenheim.org/new-york/education/sackler-center/sackler-exhibitions/on-view-now" target="_blank"><em>Learning By Doing</em></a>, the Guggenheim and Google SketchUp invite amateur and professional designers from around the world to enter Design It: Shelter Competition. From now until August 23, you can submit a 3-D shelter for locations around the world using Google SketchUp and Google Earth.</p>
<h4>Why shelters?</h4>
<p>The competition is an extension of <a href="http://www.guggenheim.org/new-york/education/sackler-center/sackler-exhibitions/on-view-now" target="_self"><em>Learning By Doing</em></a>, an exhibition in the Guggenheim Museum Sackler Center for Arts Education that features plans, photographs, and models of student-built shelters from the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture. For the past seven decades, students at this school have taken on the challenge of designing, building, and living in small shelters nestled in the landscapes of the school’s Arizona and Wisconsin campuses. In working on these shelters, students consider human needs for safety and comfort, as well as the relationship between architecture and place.



Design It: Shelter Competition opens up the project to you. If you could build a shelter anywhere in the world, where would it be? How would you design it to respond to the surrounding environment?</p>
<h4>Key Dates and Deadlines</h4>
<p>You can submit your design from now until August 23. After the submission period, current Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture students will select a group of finalists. Public voting on these finalists opens on September 7 and runs until October 10. On October 21, 2009, the People’s Prize will be announced along with a special Juried Prize chosen by a jury of experts.</p>
<h4>Accept the Challenge</h4>
