2005 Masonry Village Competition
The first Masonry Village was constructed at this year's Masonry Showcase and proved to be the talk of the town. Five teams, consisting of architects and mason contractors, competed at the contest in Chicago and all completed amazing masonry projects in just a two-day period. The teams were given masonry products including brick, block, stone and glass block to create five awe inspiring structures. The projects were judged by a panel of architects from CSI and the following awards were given:
