The 2007 / 2008 Leading Edge Student Design Competition
October 14, 2007 | Levent OZLER
The 2007/2008 Leading Edge Student Design Competition seeks to support and enhance the study of sustainable and energy-efficient building practices in architectural education.
With our 14th competition, we invite students and instructors of architecture and design to use the competition as a framework to explore the use of new materials and strategies for building, and the integration of aesthetics and technology for highperformance, cutting-edge architecture.
This year, the competition will focus on the coastal environment of beautiful Santa Barbara.
Students entering Challenge 1 will design an Environmental and History Center with display space in an historic barn and students entering Challenge 2 will design a 3- unit townhouse-style student residence.
Both projects will be located in the West Campus area of the University of California at Santa Barbara.
The competition objectives are to encourage and reward excellence in architectural planning and design that integrates environmentally responsive design strategies.
The Competition is open to all undergraduate and graduate students of architecture, engineering, drafting, and environmental design at two-year colleges, technical schools, four- and five-year colleges and universities.
Registration deadline is March 28, 2008.
