AIA COTE Top Ten for Students Competition crowns 2024 winners

The AIA COTE’s new Top Ten for Students Competition winners have been selected for 2024 in partnership with the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA). Featuring an emphasis on net zero carbon emissions combined with a vision for a more equitable future, many of the winning projects were aimed at serving a variety of different communities in need, including those affected by last year's wildfires in Hawaii. Students preferred solutions that favored the effectiveness of prefabrication, flexible configurations, and modular design. Multiple concepts from Clemson, the University of Waterloo, and the University of Arkansas made the cut. The ACSA says each team was told to seek out and develop an "innovative, thoroughly integrated approach to architecture, natural systems, and technology" in the course of their development..The jury for this year's contest included professionals from Howard University, Google, Populous, and Perkins Eastman, among other affiliations.
