EPIConnection.com,
the AIA National Housing Committee, and the Whirlpool Corporation are
teaming up to sponsor the Emerging Professionals Guest House/Studio Design
Competition to encourage and recognize the design skills of emerging architecture
professionals. The award-winning projects will receive significant recognition
and cash awards, and finalists will become part of a case study demonstrating
cooperative projects among industry, schools, and professional practice.
Eligibility—This is an international
competition open to two categories of entrants.
- Category 1 is for students in at least their fourth year of school
- Category 2 is for intern candidates—those currently studying
to take the ARE, non-licensed design professionals, and AIA Associate
members—and young architects (those licensed 10 years or less).

Challenge
The competition challenges emerging professionals and architecture students
to design a 21st century live/work studio by renovating a 1920s Bungalow-style
residence in Albuquerque. The program also includes conversion of a single-family-house
garage into a multiuse space for extended family members or as a future
rental property for supplemental income.
Winning entries will be used as case studies by
the sponsors in a national campaign to promote cooperative ventures among
education, industry, and practice.
