Congratulations on your inspiring architectural designs

Thank you everyone who participated this year! This year we awarded 24 prizes to 19 students. That doesn't mean that the other boards were not masterpieces. Architecture, just like any other design related industry such as art, fashion, and graphics, is a very subjective trade. Every person, or judge in this case, has a preference in style, materials and spatial arrangements. This creates an emotional attachment to a particular design and it is one of the architect's tasks to convey that sentiment to the judge, client and/or occupant. For those other 45 students who have a passion for architecture, don't let this discourage you and try again next year.

Instructors, if you did not participate this year, this is an excellent opportunity to view the students’ work, talk to other participating instructors and students, and get a better idea of what all is involved in the competition.

All award-winning boards will be kept by AIA Toledo for future presentations and will be returned at next year’s kick-off meeting, or through other arrangements with the HSDC committee.  All non-award-winning boards should be taken home after the awards ceremony.
Thank you to all the instructors and advisors for another great program. Winners will be posted soon after the ceremony.
