Leading Edge Student Design Competition

The Leading Edge Student Design Competition seeks to support and enhance the study of sustainable and energy-efficient building practices in Architectural Education. 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 high-performing, cutting edge architecture.

This year’s competition is sited in the coastal environment of Southern California on the campus of the University of Santa Barbara. Students entering Challenge 1 will design an Environment and History Center serving dual roles of research and education about the environment and history of the local area. Students entering Challenge 2 will design a three-unit townhouse-style residence for student equestrians with horses on site.
