GCA Team Places Second in AIA Central States' Student Design Competition
The 2018 AIA Central States' Student Design Competition recently challenged students to design an urban neighborhood which could reinvent the "art of city life" in downtown Tulsa's Pearl District. The Christopher C. Gibbs College of Architecture team placed second with their proposal entitled "Collective." Their project introduces apartments, office spaces, retail shopping and an art gallery to the area. Collective also strongly addresses the existing buildings located on the site and the site's need for water management. The GCA team included Evan Sack, Kyle Berger, Tanaka Kawondera and Ben
DeCuyper with faculty sponsor Francesco Cianfarani. Other participating universities included Oklahoma State University, Washington University, University of Kansas, Kansas State University, University of Nebraska, Drury University and Iowa State.
