2024 Douglas Haskell Award Recognizes Three Student Journals on Architecture, 1st Place
The Center for Architecture is proud to announce the 2024 recipients of the Douglas Haskell Award for Student Journals. The Haskell Award was founded to encourage student journalism on architecture, planning, and related subjects and to foster regard for intelligent criticism among future professionals. The award is named for architectural journalist and editor Douglas Haskell, editor of Architectural Forum from 1949 to 1964, where he was very influential in stopping the demolition of Grand Central Station. Three student-led journals of architecture and design were awarded prizes of $1,000 to foster regard for criticism among future professionals.
Dimensions 37, University of Michigan, Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning ($1,000)
Dimensions is the student-produced journal of architecture at the University of Michigan published annually since 1987. It seeks to contribute to the critical discourse of architectural education by documenting the most compelling work produced by its students, faculty, fellows, and visiting lecturers. Dimensions is produced over one academic year, publishing work solicited from the previous year’s graduates from both the undergraduate and graduate programs in architecture at U-M’s Taubman College. The student work in Dimensions 37 reflects a focus on land politics and imagining the future; neon colors and innovative digital representation styles abound.
Dimensions 37 Team: Jillian Armstrong, Macey Bollenbacher, Zione Grosshuesch, Zoe Hano, Shravan S Iyer, Minyoung Lee, Mason Magemeneas, Talia Morison-Allen, Alvin Poon, Taylor Rhodes, John Spraberry, Nicole Tooley and Varun Vashi
