It is a fable between existing sites and their artifacts of process, deriving from the clash of the urban grids and intersection of transportation arteries."</p> <p>Archinect connected with Yang to learn about his thesis, how he transitioned during a time of remote learning, and what it means to be an M.Arch graduate during a pandemic. Yang's thesis project is the&nbsp;recipient of the Alpha Ro Chi&nbsp;Medal 2020 for Design Excellence and NYCxDESIGN Architecture&nbsp;Graduates Showcase.</p> <p><strong><a href="https://archinect.com/features/tag/1582910/2020-thesis" target="_blank">Archinect's Spotlight on 2020 Thesis Projects</a></strong>:&nbsp;<em>2020 has been an extraordinarily challenging year ...</em></p> https://archinect.com/features/article/84832196/showcase-barneveld-noord-station-by-nl-architects ShowCase: Barneveld Noord Station by NL Architects Amelia Taylor-Hochberg 2013-10-23T19:13:00-04:00 >2013-10-28T19:30:07-04:00 <img src="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/4a/4ams2gpuvnyvuttx.jpg?fit=crop&auto=compress%2Cformat&enlarge=true&w=1200" border="0" /><p> <a href="http://archinect.com/features/tag/1518/showcase" target="_blank"><strong>ShowCase</strong></a> is an on-going feature series on Archinect, presenting exciting new work from designers representing all creative fields and all geographies.</p> <p> <em>We are always accepting nominations for upcoming ShowCase features - if you would like to suggest a project, <a href="http://archinect.com/about/contact.php" target="_blank">please send us a message</a>.</em></p>
