This spring, AIA Ohio sponsored the first 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 Cincinnati for inter-institutional collaboration between the State’s schools of architecture, its professional design organizations, and the spaces they collectively influence. The site was in close proximity to the College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning with a 15,000 sf program with work space, resource space and exhibition space.
The competition resulted in 70 students participating on 31 teams representing the four schools of architecture. At each school, professors and local members of the AIA selected a first place winner and five finalists to compete at the state level. The AIA Ohio Jury reviewed 20 submissions and selected First, Second and Third Place winners and two Honorable Mentions. On behalf of the committee, I would like to thank the professors and professionals who volunteered their time and congratulate the winning students and schools:
