This spring, AIA Ohio sponsored the second annual Schools of Architecture Competition Charrette.  The goals included:

  • increasing interaction between the 4 schools of architecture and the profession by engaging students, professors and professionals in the charrette and jury process and
  • increasing interaction between the students of local school programs by promoting team submissions that foster collaboration.

 

The competition was for an “Architectural Congress of Ohio Pavilion” in Kent for inter-institutional collaboration between the State’s schools of architecture, its professional design organizations, and the spaces they collectively influence.  The site included a 15,000 sf program with work space, resource space and exhibition space.

 

The competition resulted in 82 students participating on 28 teams representing the four schools of architecture.  Entries this year were all juried by the AIA Ohio Jury after the AI AIA Ohio Board meeting at Kent State University on March 14th.  The AIA Ohio Jury reviewed all 28 submissions and selected First, Second and Third Place winners and five Honorable Mentions.  The professors and professionals who volunteered their time are to be commended, and the winning students and schools congratulated:
