NCSU/UNC students win Urban Land Institute competition

Yesterday we received the news that the team comprised of NCSU/UNC students did in fact win the Urban Land Institute's Gerald D. Hines competition. Not only does that mean big things for the students -- $50,000 and great portfolio material, but it's also a big deal for both institutions as well. A huge congratulations to those guys.

NCSU/UNC Team Finalists for Gerald D. Hines Student Competition

Last Week it was officially announced that a joint-team made up of NCSU Architecture/Landscape Architecture and UNC City and Regional Planning graduate students has been named one of four finalists in the Urban Land Institute's Gerald D. Hines Student Competition. This is the NCSU/UNC's first time entering and the fact that they have placed as a finalist is most certainly a very big deal. The 3 other finalist teams are from Harvard, UPENN, and the University of Maryland. Teams are now in the process of completing a second design problem which will ultimately decide the winner.

NCSU/UNC Team:

Maria Papiez, Master of Architecture

Daria Khramtsova, Master of City and Regional Planning

Rebecca Myers, Master of Landscape Architecture

Jeff Pleshek, Master of Architecture

Matt Tomasulo, Master of Landscape Architecture
