Architecture Contest for Zombie-Proof Structures

If you remember episode 2 of "The Walking Dead," you may remember how the group was caught by zombies in a department store in Atlanta. While the back entrances were apparently secure (steel doors and such), the zombies were eventually able to smash their way through the glass doors at the main entrance. So, I'm pleased to see that architects are beginning to take the zombie threat seriously, with a competition to design zombie-proof structures. From the article:

To help us prepare for this potential undead disaster, the folks at Architects Southwest, an architecture firm based in Louisiana, have launched the 2011 Zombie Safe House Competition. The organization has tasked artists, architects and other zombie enthusiasts with one goal: Design a haven that can withstand a full-on zombie assault on civilization as we know it.
