SOM Foundation announces the 2023 China Fellowship winners

The SOM Foundation has announced its three winners for the 2023 SOM Foundation China Fellowship. Students Xianglan He, Bolun Qiu, and Shuaibo Shi were each selected for a $5,000 research prize, which this year was organized around the theme of "Shaping Our World Through Air," a prompt meant to investigate the relationship between air and different elements of architectural design. Topics as wide-ranging as air quality and pollution to spatial design and the notion of air as a building material were all engaged by the winning projects. Judges Peter Duncan, Jing Liu, Doreen Heng Liu, and Peking University professor Kongjian Yu vetted proposals as a group after first reviewing each independently as submissions.  He’s ‘Air Purification and Urban Strategies’ proposal looks at the development of clean air considerations in green building techniques in leading countries with the aim of adapting the findings towards more scalable industry-wide solutions. The recent Hebei University graduate will explore the impacts of such new methods in Scandinavia on the functions of buildings. A secondary thought into government’s raising public awareness of green building is also included. Duncan says her submission "provide[d] a unique perspective in researching new architectural or urban design scaled solutions for the improvement of environmental air quality."Read the full post on Bustler
