The next step is to choose three finalists that will each receive $150,000 to refine and re-develop their concept. After that a single winner will be chosen around April 2021 and fundraising would begin for what could be a $100 million+ project next to the SAP Center on the Arena Green.
I've gone through all 960 submissions, and some are truly epic. Below are images of my personal favorites. I love so many of these, but my vote would go to the Infinity Ring at the end (check out the video). It looks amazing despite the 200ft height restriction, you can walk inside it to cross the river while getting a view of San Jose, and it can do some impressive lighting effects than amplify it's coolness. Which is your favorite?

ReplyDeleteWhile the art is nice and all, I would honestly much rather the money it would take to build these things be used for . . . anything else? It would be so much better if that money could be spent on the schools in San Jose, hospitals, or literally anything else.

ReplyDeleteWow! That 'Infinity Ring' looks stunning! That one should be the winner. I think it would give the city a really sofisticated look, and it'll catch up tourists attention.
