\"Students<\/figure>\n

Two student teams from our School of Architecture<\/a> were named winners of an international design competition for a science education facility near San Francisco.<\/p>\n

The competition, hosted by Architecture at Zero<\/a>, challenged designers to create a zero-net energy bayside community education and visitor\u2019s center, in support of the mission of the Romberg Tiburon Center for Environmental Studies.\u00a0 This facility is San Francisco State University\u2019s center for estuary and ocean science located on 53 acres of bayside property in Tiburon, Calif.<\/p>\n

The competition was open to students, architects, landscape architects, urban planners, engineers and designers from anywhere in the world.\u00a0 Winners were announced in professional, college and other categories.<\/p>\n

Sydney Flannery and Briyana Rainer, 4th-year Architecture students, received the Honor award, the highest award given to college students in the competition, for their project \u201cTransparencies.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kyle Johannes, Samantha Sowell and Carl Weaver received the Merit Award, second place, for their project \u201cTerra Delta.\u201d This is the first time a university placed two teams in the competition\u2019s seven-year history.<\/p>\n

The students completed their projects in Kevin Stevens\u2019 Fall 2017 4th-year integration studio. Prior to designing their work, students visited the site with Stevens in September.<\/p>\n

Both Flannery and Rainer explained how helpful it was to immerse themselves in their project while visiting San Francisco and the Bay Area. \u201cLooking at the design through CAD or Rhino [design software] really limits your interpretation of the site,\u201d said Flannery. \u201cWhen there, we were able to fully grasp how drastic the topography is and readjust our project accordingly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sowell stated how her team loved working with the competition prompt in the studio. \u201cIt sets up the semester with an exciting end goal on the horizon,\u201d said Sowell. \u201cWithout a doubt, the element of travel heightened not only our design, but it also [gave us] a general understanding of Tiburon\u2019s site context.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following their final reviews last fall, the students worked diligently during winter break to reformat and submit their projects.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s great to have the opportunity to work with students who are this dedicated to the profession,\u201d Stevens said. \u201cBeing able to see them produce projects that compete on an international stage is incredibly rewarding.\u201d<\/p>\n

All of the students explained that they owe much of this accomplishment to the dedication of Stevens. \u201c[Professor Stevens] is an amazing professor. He is very patient and encouraging,\u201d said Flannery.<\/p>\n

Rainer concurred, \u201cOver the course of the semester, we learned and designed a solution that we were proud of.\u201d<\/p>\n

The competition was sponsored by Pacific Gas and Electric, San Francisco State University and the AIA California Council.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
