Will Leonard, an animator with Green Grass Studios in Dallas, was awarded first place and $1,000 for his video, “Church of Christ the Light” in Tarkett's national video contest, “Looking Back, Stepping Forward.”
The competition challenged participants to reflect on buildings and interior spaces that inspire them and address, in a two-minute video, the impact the building or space has had on their creativity and given the chance, how they might renovate or refresh it for the future. Through the contest, Tarkett hoped to encourage architects and designers to further think about how their work helps shape the lives of people – past and present – and how the materials used in the space play a role in the effect of the building.
