Best Studio Project - Fall 2008, Award

Each semester the best project from each design studio is selected for a super jury review that takes place in the commons of the school of architecture. A total of 12 students present their work to a panel of visiting critics from through out the country. My project was selected from my senior design studio titled "The Architecture of Reconciliation: A Multicultural Museum." The project was a multicultural museum and wood restoration workshop in Lviv, Ukraine, that reconstructed the religious structures of what were the 3 major ethnic groups prior to WWII; Ukrainians, Poles, and Jews.
