USITT Student Design Competition 2008

The mission of the USITT Architecture Commission is to enhance the understanding of the role of an Architect in the design of theatres and to provide an architectural resource for our members and the professional community at large for data on theatre design.

Architecture Awards Program

The USITT Architecture Awards Program brings public and professional recognition to architectural projects chosen for their design excellence and ability to find resolution for the myriad of aesthetic, regulatory, technical, and operational challenges present in the design of large and small projects for old and new theatres. Honor Awards (the highest designation) and Merit Awards have been presented during the Awards Banquet culminating the Annual Conference & Stage Expo since 1994. To see the previous award winners, follow the link to Architecture Awards. Requirements and Entry Forms are distributed each fall after which a distinguished jury reviews all submissions.

Student Design Competition

The Student Design Competition requires theatre students as “the Client” and architectural students as “the Designer” to work as a team. This team is to create their university’s “Ideal Theatre.” For more information about the 2008 Student Design Competition follow this link.
