LA+ EXOTIQUE—the fifth in the LA+ international design ideas competition series—asked entrants to redesign the forecourt of the Museum of Natural History in Paris. Entries from over 20 countries were reviewed by LA+ EXOTIQUE’s eminent international jury, comprising Julia Czerniak, Sonja Dümpelmann, Catherine Mosbach, Signe Nielsen, and Marcel Wilson. The jury awarded first, second, third, and (tied!) fourth prizes and 10 honorable mentions. Winners also include an editor’s choice award.
