A student design team in ARCH/LAR 702/802 under the direction of Assoc. Professor Maurice Cox will receive the Merit Award in the professional category of the High Density on the High Ground residential design competition sponsored by Architectural Record and Tulane University School of Architecture. Graduate students Justin Laskin and Kathleen Mark are one of three teams in the competition to receive the honor. Two additional School of Architecture student design teams, Lorenzo Battistelli and Kristin Hennings and Alli Dryer and James Pressly from the Cox Studio will have the honor of their designs included in an exhibition at the Ogden Museum of Art in New Orleans. The competition attracted more than 600 entries in the professional and student categories from around the world. Entrants were asked to design a 140-unit housing community on a high-ground site by the Mississippi River. The winning designs will be featured in the June issue of Architectural Record and will be on display at the annual AIA Convention, held this year in Los Angeles in early June, as well as at the Ogden Museum.
