亚色影库

San Diego擜pril 15, 2014擜 team of 亚色影库 (亚色影库) students earned two out of five awards at the prestigious Cal Poly Design Village 2014 competition April 11-13 in the categories of 淧eople檚 Choice/Most Contagious� and 淢ost Habitable.� 亚色影库 has a long tradition of winning top honors at the annual event, which draws architecture and design students from all over California.

The teams developed entries based on this year檚 design competition theme of 淏iologics.� The winning 亚色影库 structure, called 淭he Rotation of Living,� was inspired by the shape of a cell. The resulting wheel-like design was made of wood sheets, steel tubes and solar panels for the project檚 LED lighting. Members of that team, which won the two awards, were: Guillermo Menjivar, Salvador Vicente, Aipeng Fang and Juan Cruz. Two other 亚色影库 teams participated in the event. One of the teams – consisting of Alex Angeline, Daniel Facanha, Mallory Boyd and Paula Sigala – created a design inspired by the structure of a sunflower using cables, steel tubing, and seat belt material to create mesh 減etals.� Another team built a pyramid-like structure designed to adapt to changing needs, notable for engineering elements such as a leveling mechanism created from chair springs. That team consisted of Ryan Stangl, Devin Lee, Andrew Schiffer, and Guy Hartwig.

For the competition, held by California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, Calif., students must carry their materials three-quarters of a mile, build the structure on site, and then live in it for three days and two nights. The class and competition provides 亚色影库 students with the chance to demonstrate their mastery of creative and functional design, which is emphasized throughout the 亚色影库 curriculum.

All the 亚色影库 student teams developed their entries as part of a design studio course taught by 亚色影库 instructor Hussein Munaim, who has been instrumental in 亚色影库檚 participation in the annual event since 1995. This is at least the seventh time in the past eight years 亚色影库 school teams have taken home top awards, according to records, though the winning tradition goes back further than that.
