Every
year those highly-intelligent, highly-trained people who design
schools, homes, freeways, hospitals, and skyscrapers get together
on Galveston island off the coast of Texas for a day of sand,
sea, and a lot of beer. They call it the AIA Sandcastle
Competition.
Run
by the Houston chapter of the American Institute of Architects,
this year's event was held Saturday, June third -- a perfect
day weather-wise for blowing off some steam by playing in
the sand.
75 teams, both professional and college, had six hours to
turn sand into substance. What follows are the result of those
efforts.
