Sylvia Lavin, Director of Critical Studies and MA/PhD Programs, UCLA Architecture and Urban Design
Junichi Ihara, Consul General of Japan in Los Angeles
Councilwoman Jan Perry
Jeffrey Deitch, MOCA Director
Bill Watanabe, Little Tokyo Service Center Executive Director
The Jury deliberated and came up with the finalist. The winner of the Golden Astro Boy award. Brandon Shigeta, was officially announced on the final day of Little Tokyo Design Week.
Comments from the jury:
“There were a few reasons why I thought Brandon’s exhibit was the strongest. It wasn’t a piece that would have typically been found in a museum or gallery. He really conceived it for the container, and it worked well in that context. It also expanded the idea of what design is. And I think it was great how he engaged the audience in that it was filmed and people were able to take a piece of the exhibit. Brandon really thought out all aspects of this project and did a great job.”
