BCN & SoA students collaborate to design and build a solar-enabled mobile kiosk. Solar-enabled mobile kiosk Challenge: create a kiosk that is mobile, transported by a bike, made of steel and solar panels, has LED lighting and is used to charge laptops and cell phones. This was the challenge accepted by 14 architecture students and seven building construction students in the Integrated Project Delivery course this spring.

The UF School of Architecture announces the launch of CityLab-Sarasota, a Master of Architecture program focused on issues of emerging technology, culture and climate responsive architecture drawn from the lineage and principals of the Sarasota School of Architecture. The program will launch in August 2014. "Sarasota offers unique opportunities for UF students to study architecture and urbanism in a culturally and environmentally rich community that also faces great ecological and infrastructural challenges as it continues to grow," said Martin Gold, director of the UF School of Architecture. Student Ambassadors to promote DCP Last fall two students had the same vision: to share their love of DCP with incoming University of Florida students. Architecture senior Emily Dawson and interior design sophomore Victoria Bryer, like many DCP students, have a passion for their college and majors. After learning of other ambassador programs on campus, Bryer came to Dawson with an idea to create a program that provides knowledge about the college. After talking with several faculty members and administration about the idea, DCP Ambassadors was created. Brooks + Scarpa's Yin Yang House Venice, Calif., firm Brooks + Scarpa was awarded an AIA Top 10 Green Project Award for their project Yin Yang House. Angela Brooks, BDes 1987, and Lawrence Scarpa, BDes 1981 and MArch 1987, of the firm Brooks + Scarpa, received an AIA Top 10 Green Project Award for the design of the Yin Yang House. The home is designed to reduce energy demand by more than 50%. This design strategy combined with a tight perimeter building envelope and other active sustainable features, such as the 12kw solar system, make this a zero energy consumption home. The home has produced 100% of its energy needs. The project goals of the Yin Yang house focused on what can be described as the "six zeros": zero waste, zero energy, zero water, zero carbon, zero emissions and zero ignorance. |
