Students Win Honors in BSA Design Competition
Three students have won awards for design in the Boston Society of Architects’ In the Pursuit of Housing design competition. The competition was established to “engage younger members of the profession and student designers to think critically about the housing issues facing their generation.” Matthew Young (4th Year Architecture) is recognized for his project, “Dwelling in Sert’s Shadow,” a proposal for modular faculty/staff housing in Cambridge, MA that combines individual units with collective courtyards. Young developed the proposal as part of Assoc. Professor Judith Kinnard’s ARCH 401 Urban Housing Studio. The team of Allison Dryer and James Pressly (MArch Program) is honored for their project, “(Re) Building Blocks,” a proposal for new housing in the Gulf Coast that they developed in Assoc. Professor Maurice Cox’s ALAR 702/ 802 Higher Density on High Ground Studio. The winning projects will be on display at the Residential Design and Construction Convention and Tradeshow in Boston April 4 and 5, where the students will receive cash prizes.
