Over the past week, the Warren R. Kark Third-Year Competition took place. This annual event is integral to the School of Architecture’s undergraduate curriculum presenting a broad range of ideas and work from more than 120 students in the third-year cohort and exhibited in the lobby of Cowgill Hall. For the competition this year, students were asked to craft an architectural proposition in the form of a freestanding multi-story building that provides appropriate spaces for a café, gallery, and three review rooms for Virginia Tech’s School of Architecture. They were given 6 days, starting Monday December 1st and concluding Sunday December 7th, to develop and present their proposals through drawings composed on one 24” x 36” board and a section model.

Professors Clive Vorster, Paige Davidson, and Giorgia Cannici served as the jury for the competition and recognized the following students’ work:

First Place: Nawin Sumetkijakan

Second Place: Dohee Kim

Third Place: Brian Park
