Tuesday, Sep 14, 2021

CATEGORY I - 1st Place: Immersive Workplace. Students: Moises Lio Can, Zaw Latt, Yaning Zhang, & Ming Xu. Institution: University of Hawai’i at Mānoa.

The Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA) and the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) have announced the winners of their annual Steel Design Student Competition.

This year’s winning field of eleven entries is split between Open and Workplace Wellness categories. Superlative projects from Ryerson University and the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa showcase a diverse range of building types that includes designs for a Boston waterfront immigrant museum and biophilic research towers.
