2012 BLT Architects Student Sketch Competition, 1st Place

November 2, 2012 (Philadelphia, PA) – BLT Architects (BLTa), a Philadelphia-based architectural and interior design firm, announced today that Victor Hugo De Souza Azevedo from the University of Virginia is the winner of the 2012 Student Design Sketch Competition. The runner-up is Henry Glennon from Carnegie Mellon University and in 3rd place is Dan Brown from Drexel University. The competition was open to all college students in the mid-Atlantic region and entries were received from the winners’ universities as well as Philadelphia University, Virginia Tech, and others. For his efforts, Mr. Hugo was offered a paid summer 2013 internship at BLTa.

“We were incredibly impressed by the talent, strategic thought, planning, and social consciousness that underpinned the entries we received this year,” said Michael Ytterberg, Ph.D., principal at BLTa. “Picking one winning design from the submissions we received was a challenging affair that spurred spirited conversation among our team here in the office. We were unified in our point-of-view that the quality of work that was exemplified by all the students is a testament to not only their skills and work ethic, but also of the quality of today's architecture schools. On behalf of everyone at BLT Architects, I want to thank this year's participants and be the first to extend my congratulations to Victor on winning the design competition. We all look forward to both mentoring and learning from you this coming summer.”
