I'm flattered that David Berridge credits me with the ability to identify any practice in the world by a few snapshots of their work (would it were so!), but I hope he and EatMyZeitgeist don't reflect all practices' feelings on entering. The submission request, I've been told, asks for 'what you do' not 'what you have done', so it is not about demonstrating your track record, but giving some insight into what you might have the potential to do creatively. The client is committed to finding the best design solution, whether from a big or a small practice, famous or unknown. The reason I'm so excited to be part of the judging process is because I think it is such a fantastic brief, both in its context and programme, and that, unlike EatMyZeitgeist, I haven't a clue who the five shortlisted firms will be – but I do know, however, that there is quite a hefty honorarium for the (un?)famous five to develop their proposals. So, please, if you are interested in the project, do express it! Will Hunter, The Architectural Review
