Urban Land Institute Gerald D. Hines Urban Design Competition 2012
Big ideas. Bold visions. The enduring legacy of Gerald D. Hines.
The ULI/Gerald D. Hines Student Urban Design Competition is an urban design and development challenge for graduate students. The Hines Competition challenges multidisciplinary student teams to devise a comprehensive development program for a real, large-scale site. Student teams comprising at least three disciplines have two weeks to develop solutions that include drawings, site plans, tables, and market-feasible financial data.

Integrated Design Competition - Fourth Year Design Studio
The Integrated Design Competition pursues the core program strength of undergraduate architectural study, the design of buildings. This capstone project required us to organize a comprehensive architectural and systems design for a large-scale building. In this case, a 250,000 S.F. mixed-used building sited in the Navy Yards, Washington D.C. The competition challenged us to reconsider the basics for making design decisions in light of new technologies in building simulation and the emergence of program strength in sustainable design. In meeting the learning objective of integrating building systems in our design thinking, we were no longer restricted to the placement of systems in the building, their physical integration. Instead we were able to evaluate their project in terms of its performance integration. In other words, by using computer simulation and modeling software we were about to compute the impact of one system on another. Recent advancements in computer simulation software allow the designer to access the buildings impact on the environment and vice versa in the design phase, when these decisions are most critical.
The design of the building envelope as a strictly aesthetic proposition is considered in light of the capacity of the designer to test one solution against another to find out which ultimately performs better in terms of several factors and to refine aesthetic and proportional decisions through the consideration of influencing characteristics and questions.
