The Fall 2022 OU Architecture Design Awards were recently announced, with seven students receiving recognition for their outstanding work. There are two categories of awards: the Fall 2022 Design V GH2 Design Studio Prize, and the Fall 2022 Design VII Award.
The GH2 Design Studio Prize recognizes excellence in the integration of architecture and landscape design. This year, the prize was awarded to Talor Young, a 3rd year Architecture student. Young received this award for his project, “Cafe At Lake Thunderbird.” Jurors described Young’s design as “simply beautiful,” and noted that the “design creates a strong relationship with the land and plays on the contours of the site.”
