Metropolis magazine announces the winner of the 2006 Next Generation Award.
The third annual Next Generation event was won by architect Virginia San Fratello.
"San Fratello, joined by her collaborators Ronald Rael and Isaiah Dunlap, was rewarded with $10,000 for her Big Idea, The Hydro Wall. This concept is a series of flexible sacs that store rainwater within a building's wall. Intended for warm climates, the Hydro Wall acts as a thermal mass. Learn more about the winning team and their project in the June issue of Metropolis.
The 11 Next Generation runners-up, listed with their Big Idea entries below, will be presented in the July issue of Metropolis and featured in issues throughout the year."
