The San Antonio Botanical Garden and the American Institute of Architects will bring storybooks to life this Spring with the interactive display Storybook Houses. Five unique interpretations, selected from a competitive field of submissions, will be on display for Garden visitors to explore inside and out.
Area architects and design teams submitted entries for consideration, utilizing a wide array of styles and materials. A panel of judges representing the AIA, San Antonio Public Library and the Botanical Garden reviewed the designs and scored them based on a variety of criteria such as creativity of design and use/re-use of weather-resistant materials; focus on recycling, reuse or sustainability; accessibility; collaboration with others; and design appeal for all ages of visitors.
The five entries selected for the exhibit will be constructed at the Garden and ready for exploration in March.

- Oh! The Places You’ll Go - Brady Renner, PBK
- San Antonio & the Beanstalk - Lucas Mackey, Esau Hernandez, and Marcel Van der Maas, Overland Partners
- Diary of a Worm - Christopher Drown and Lauren Drown, Bucrane Design Build
