Architecture event: provide a site in the host city and make it a design competition, and then build the winner. The hall of submitted 3D models would be a great attraction.
- kaliqt 2y agoThat would be nice, though modern official architecture (and art) always ends up quite ugly and appalling, so it'd only be nice with proper judges (quite rare apparently).

I'd love to see 6 people chosen at random judging the dressage based entirely on whatever they happen think dressage should be judged on. And at the same times the riders are trying to alter their routine based on what they think someone who knows nothing about dressage would want to see in a dressage competition.
