Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library Project Commissioner Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library Foundation Creator Snohetta Snohetta’s winning design for Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library Competition is informed by the President’s personal reflections on the landscape, his commitment to environmental stewardship, and the periods of quiet introspection and civic engagement that marked his life.

Snohetta’s winning design responds strongly to the brief set by the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library Foundation: THE PROJECT IS guided by three principles that embody the central values of T.R.’s life: Leadership, Citizenship, and Conservation. The challenge is to curate an experience that, by exploring the themes of T.R.’s legacy in these areas, influences participants on a personal level and invites them to contemplate what it means to be “Rooseveltian” in today’s world. The Library will need to wrestle with the complexity of T.R.’s public and private life, while still managing to impart a universally relatable and inspiring message to “dare greatly, think boldly, live passionately, and care deeply.”

The Stadium of Tomorrow Project Commissioner National Geographic Creator Populous For the July issue of National Geographic, and entitled ‘The Stadium of Tomorrow’, Populous has conceived a self-sustaining, highly connected and versatile arena that is more of an eco-village of sport and recreation than a traditional sports stadium.

The vision capitalises on infrastructure required for a sports stadium, creating multi-use, multi-experiential ecosystem with a plethora of sports and recreation opportunities ranging from traditional field sports such as athletics, football and ice hockey to nontypical stadium sports such as extreme sports, sailing, surfing and e-sports. The vision extends as far as the stadium of tomorrow being a place where people live, work and play.
