LEADING
EDGE DESIGN COMPETITION California Building Industry Foundation Type: Student, international Registration Deadline: March 10, 2000 Submission Deadline: May 17, 2000 Open to: Students of architecture/design Entry Fee: None Awards: US $7,500 Total Jury: Randolph R. Croxton, Sandy Mendler, Gregg D. Ander, AIA, Linda Sanders, FAIA, Dean, David Ware, Rob Hudler, Tony Pierce, PE and Randall T. Hi The Leading Edge Student Design Competition, now in its ninth year, is the premiere student design competition that focuses on sustainability and energy efficiency. This competition offers students the learning experiences needed to consider the environmental impacts of design decisions, to explore the use of new materials and strategies for building, and to explore the integration of aesthetics and technology for high-performing, cutting-edge architecture. We invite students of architecture and design from around the world to enter the competition and design with the environment rather than against it. The 2000 competition will focus on educational buildings. Students in Challenge 1 will design an elementary school building or buildings containing classrooms, an environmental and planetary science center and an adult education facility. Students in Challenge 2 will design a day care center to be located on the elementary school campus. The competition objectives are to encourage and reward excellence in architectural planning and design that integrates environmentally responsive design strategies. Competition participants will have the opportunity to: -Incorporate principles of sustainability in building material choices, building design, and siting. -Investigate new building materials that contribute to sustainable or energy-efficient building design. -Explore energy efficiency as a basic premise of building design. -Understand the impact of siting, solar orientation, wind orientation, building massing, construction methods, and material choices on building function and energy use. -Develop an awareness of appropriate technology for particular building type, regional climate, and site location. -Explore state of the art computer modeling methods for predicting and evaluating the impact of design decisions on building performance. -Most important, participants will have the opportunity to explore the full integration of sophisticated design strategies and environmental design thinking in building.
