Winner of VIATechnik’s Museum Design Contest Announced!

Congratulations to Mircea Eni, who claimed the winning design for the unofficial Lucas Museum Design Contest hosted by VIATechnik.

The contest ran for one month and received designs from entrants around the globe. During this time it was announced that George Lucas officially chose the city of Chicago to house his art collection, Star Wars memorabilia and other examples of his innovative work.

One reason Lucas chose Chicago was because of the city’s long history of supporting and showcasing some of the most iconic art and architecture in the U.S. VIATechnik is proud to be a part of this tremendous opportunity afforded to Chicago as it presents the winning design to the Chicago Task Force responsible for helping Chicago beat San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Here are the results of VIATechnik’s unofficial Lucas Museum Design Contest:

First Place: Mircea Eni

Second Place: Andrew Isaac Ng and Laura Kiyokane

Notable Mention: Rodney Marmilic and Eddy Stambulic (the Womp Rats)
