有没有想过要和你最喜欢的建筑师、艺术家或设计师一起泡一泡，抽一口烟，吃点面包，或者参加观鸟探险？如果其中任何一个都在你的愿望清单上，现在你就有机会把它们划掉。

这些产品包括一个机会来挑选Airbnb联合创始人Joe Gebbia在太平洋海岸徒步旅行，通过图形设计师Irma Boom的大量手工书籍和围绕安藤忠雄设计的普利策艺术基金会与Emily Pulitzer漫游。同时，受欢迎的景观设计师Piet Oudolf将为他在荷兰许默洛的私人花园和自我描述的“梦境景观”提供稀有的旅游体验，其次是当地的度假胜地——近400岁的Gouden Karper。

在其他地方，一位幸运的投标人（和他们的五位客人）将与设计George Yabu和Glenn Pushelberg在曼哈顿设计的塔上为自己建造的惊人的“家”中一起喝酒和用餐，而另一位将与建筑师Jeanne Gang谈论建筑和鸟类。芝加哥东北部或纽约标志性的城市公园。

对于更勇敢的人来说，有机会加入BjARKE-IGELS和合作伙伴Jakob Lange，他们在哥本哈根AAMER资源中心测试他们自建的烟雾环发电机，用于大的新的垃圾发电厂。如果你真的想在你的瞎设计约会中得到亲密的话，就有一个热浴缸圆桌，与建筑师Charles Renfro的超级Diller Scofidio Renfro提供，在他的中古现代主义的房子在火岛-鸡尾酒包括在内。

出售所得将有助于范阿伦研究所的创造性跨学科研究、设计竞赛和公共项目的资金。这是一场无价之宝的竞价战争。
