Garage Door Design Competition Sets

New Architectural Trend

The future American residential scene may very well take on a new improved look with homes having garage doors of individual, integrated design instead of the familiar uniformity of blank \^'a11 areas which so often dominate the view.

This is the opinion of the eminent jurors rvho selected and announced winners of the $15O0 cash arvards garage door design competition co-sponsored by the magazine Arts & Architecture and the Tavart Company, Paramount, California, manufacturers of overhead garage door hardware.

Quentin Sternberg, 26, San Francisco architect, rvon the $1000 first prize for his design in lr'hat is believed to be the first competition of its kind ever held.

Five honorable mention prizes of $1OO each u'ere awarded to: Vlad Balabanov and George Shinno, I-os Angeles Architects; L. Dees-Porch and Paul Grunberg, Nerv York City architects ; Robert Lonson, Minneapolis designer; George Frank Ligar, Los Angeles architect; and John Kewell, Los Angeles architect.

The jury included: John Rex, Los Angeles architect and president, Los Angeles Chapter. American Institute of Architects; Hunt Lewis, Pasadena industrial designer ; C. Gordon De Swarte, Los Angeles structural engineer; and S. Glenn Varley, general manager, Tavart Company, Paramount, California.

"The designs submitted in this competition demonstrate that a garage door need not be prosaically functional and can be a decorative accent as well as blend more harmoniously with the exterior design of a small home," John Entenza, editor of Arts & Architecture said.

All prize-winning entrants submitted materials lists and fabrication plans rvhich, according to the jury, gave evi- dence that their door designs can be constiucted by an average mechanic and that required materials are available from building supply dealers.

"We ll'ere happy to join with Arts & Architecture as sponsor of this attempt to focus the attention of architects and designers on the problem of improving garage door designs," S. Glenn Varley, general manager, the Tavart Company said.

Over 200 entries from all parts of the country rvere submitted in the competition.

The Tavart Company plans to release a brochure containing winning designs, and a selected group of others, as u'ell as complete specifications for fabricating the designs, according to Mr. Varley. The brochure rvill be rnade available to those rvho request it, he said.

Don Anderson, Tu'in Harbors Lumber Co., Eureka, and N{rs. Anderson, spent a u'eek in Los Angeles recently. Don \\ras a visitor at the offices of C. P. Henrv & Co.. their Southerrr California representative.

What Was Catching Who 1 '

My friend Tom Dempsey goes far and wide seeking fine fishing. The other day he came back from the Bahamas and regaled me with big fish stories . Said he hooked a 570 pounder, and that for a time it was a tight fight who caught who. So I told him one of the great fishing stories that the South has laughed at for two generations, and will continue to do so into the unmeasured future. He hadn ' t heard it.

Dusky Sam was sitting in the shade of a willow tree on the bank of the bayou , fishing He was using a stout willow pole, a heavy cord for a line, and live bait, with a -cork to hold the hook just right whilst Sam dozed happily. in the summer breeze.

There came a sudden violent jerk on the line , as a big catfish grabbed his bait and ran, and the next thing Sam knew he was ten feet fro m shore, his head well under the bajou water But Sam was a fighter, and gave the big " cat " a battle. Holding J' O the pole with his left hand , he swam frantically with hi :s right, and finally, half exhausted, he grabbed a limb of tlie willow just as his feet touched the bottom, and he was safe.

Sam spit out a quart of brackish bayou water , shook his head clear, and philof>ophized: " Whut's Ah want t ' know, " said Sam , "is DIS. Is dis niggah fishin ', or is dis fish niggerin' ! Dass all Ah craves t ' know? "
