Honorable Mention

Design Portfolio #16 was recognized with Honorable Mention. This portfolio particularly impressed the jury for the social function it performs in the children's center and the portfolio's design. It shows a bold decision of displaying thoroughly only one project out of four exemplary ones shortly listed on the first page. The jury recognizes the excellent display of graphics and representation of Patagonia Children Center's project and its overall portfolio. Some cleverly disseminated phrases hint at the author's will to give a character to the intervention dominated by a general understatement: politics and programs can be the backbone for creating a flexible space. The format and presentation quality are compelling and well organized by using typography and graphic content to convey a personal voice and portray a story. On the one hand, the jury appreciates the project's strength in the design's essentiality and the relationship between the changing space and the seasons that weave a close, balanced and harmonious dialogue between space and time. On the other hand, the attention to detail shows different human and community experiences throughout the design project.

Design Portfolio #10 was recognized with Honorable Mention. This portfolio reveals an architectural synthesis of singular, autonomous, expressive, and formal capacity that at the same time denounces a careful and meticulous control of the construction process through the choice and use of materials, the reconfiguration of the architectural space, external and internal, and the relationship with the surrounding environment. The candidate has a great sense of design, revealed in one project at best: The Collaborative Center for Innovation in Tucson. Here, the candidate shows a remarkable ability to add systems and building technology to massing complexity and continue beyond the threshold towards interiors rich in effective spatial devices and embellished with an effective combination of materials to develop a sense of community, collaboration, and learning.

Design Portfolio #9 was given an Award of Merit. Generally, this portfolio speaks of a candidate proficient in different fields, with different scales and programmatic functions, and who knows how to use various means to communicate projects. The layout is clear and organized, with a resume at the beginning and a remarkable ability to manage a large amount of information. The student displayed complexity and thoroughness in design, tectonic resolution, and overall project execution throughout the entire collection of work. The student also shows an attitude towards sustainability principles, understanding of systems and technology in their architectural projects—overall clarity in diagrammatic progress in discovering new information and utilizing it to create a design guideline. Projects push the possibilities of building tech and climate control in architecture.

Honor Award

Design Portfolio #4 was recognized with an Honor Award – the highest award given by the competition. The jurors unanimously felt Design Portfolio #4 stood out among all entries submitted because it has the overall best presentation and project execution while displaying a sense of maturity, personal style, excellent creative expression, and an assertive attitude towards design principles throughout. #4 is like a good book: the desire to read it grows as we scroll through the pages without words, but beautiful drawings as the story of one's experiences and professional skills are well done. The graphic and representation skills are excellent and reveal the essence of each project. Overall portfolio layout and presentation are articulately displayed. Starting with the beautiful cover that makes an excellent ﬁrst impression, it proceeds with early projects interested in the phenomenological approach to research into the experience of the built space. This follows through the work as it progresses into the fourth-year projects, according to a coherence of design skills that turns out to be highly personal. The simple but powerful structure of a few pages with short captions centers on the primary purpose: to create a brief image of one's personality and abilities in analog and digital drawing, sketching, modeling, painting. The body of work focuses on form, proportion, materiality, and light to convey the candidate's design voice. In conclusion, the jury awards this portfolio honor award for the candidate's design coherence who does not fall into the trap of presenting every single project carried out at all costs, from the ﬁrst year of architecture school to the last sketch. Still, to show the best of the candidate's evolution as a designer and what characterizes him/her the most as a future architect.
