2011 COMPETITION WINNERS
The “Final Four” of Architectural Engineering
The Architectural Engineering Institute (AEI) of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) held the finals of the second annual ASCE Charles Pankow Foundation Annual Architectural Engineering Student Competition in conjunction with the 2011 Architectural Engineering Conference in Oakland, California on March 31, 2011.
The emphases of the competition are integration of the engineered systems for a high performance building, collaboration, competition, and peer review, all of which are important in the development of designs in the professional world. Students are encouraged to work together in multi-disciplinary teams and consider how the engineered systems work with or enhance the architecture of the building. Students demonstrated the knowledge and many of the skills that will make them valuable additions to their future employers. The challenging conditions specified for the project building to be designed forced the participants to think of different solutions and to explore innovative solutions.
The INTEGRATED category was won by Team #3 from Drexel advised by James Mitchell. Team members were Alexander Stadel, Alisha Strayer, James Achey, Andrea Christiani, Michael Snader, and Joshua Lessard.
