jury
that made the selections was comprised of Shari Bennett (Interior
Designer of Bennett Design Group), Erin O'Neill (curator and art
handler of Fine Art Special Services), William Kofmehl (performance
artist and sculptor), and Matthew Schlueb (architect and host of the
SCHLUEBarchitecture Student Design Competition).
Finalists:

DiPietro, Ellis School
Trevor Graham, Sewickley Academy
Josh Helzlsouer, Peters Township

Each of the Finalists were invited on a private tour of the Children's Museum and the competition site for the Public Park led by Chris Siefert, followed by a visit to the artist studios of Tadao Arimoto and Thaddeus Mosley who work in wood creating public sculptures, and then the day concluded at the home of architect Matthew Schlueb, where they were awarded certificates for their selection as Finalists and winners were named for each of the design categories. The following is a sampling from the tour day.
