That is why, we’d thought it be interesting to share with you a couple of distinguished projects which were announced as winners of the AIA’s 2020 Committee on the Environment. These students have stood out with projects regarded at the top of sustainable consideration and implementation. The projects taken into consideration for these awards were aimed at developing projects with a carbon-neutral footprint through natural lighting. They also had to include the use of sustainable materials in construction, passive cooling, and heating systems (no use of air conditioning or heating) and generating energy only through sustainable systems. So, check out what these 3 student projects among many which have been deemed notable by COTE and ACSA.
1. University of North Carolina – [UP]-LIFT TECHNOLOGY TOWER
Bex Sejdiu and Devin Waddell
University of North Carolina at Charlotte
Cera Yeo and Jingyi Luo

3. Iowa State University – Bazaar 324
Anannya Das and Connor Mougin

Also, nowadays architects are doing everything they can so that they stand out within the field. That is why you have to do everything in your power to improve your chances of getting that dream job.
