Our NUS students have clinched top prizes at this year’s International Building Design Competition, winning 11 of the 15 prizes!!<\/p>\n

Organised by BCA Singapore, the challenge was to design a mixed-use development that integrates residential, retail, commercial, community, and transportation features under one roof, so as to maximise land use in our land-scarce island state. 5 of the top prizes, including the Innovation Award, involved a multidisciplinary collaboration by Department of Architecture and Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, NUS<\/p>\n

Working with faculty members from both departments, the students proposed design solutions that were not only imaginative, but buildable.<\/p>\n

The 2nd prize winning design went to Team ACE, which also clinched the Innovation Award with its multitude of green design features to promote self-sufficient and sustainable living. The team comprises of Students from Department of Architecture and Our CEE students Wang Wenjun, He Qilli, Li Yuan and Liu Xinyue.<\/p>\n

Team Group Sixteen took home the Merit Prize. The team\u2019s proposal seeks to mitigate the challenges of timber construction with a lightweight and sustainable high-rise timber building, a development yet seen in Singapore. The team comprises of Students from Department of Architecture and Our CEE students Benjamin Chia, Gerald Yap, Ong Jun Jet and Chan Hiu Fung.<\/p>\n

Another Merit Prize went to Team Tree House! True to its name, the team\u2019s design was inspired by a treehouse, an integration of vegetation and greenery in a high-rise urban environment. The team comprises of Students from Department of Architecture and Our CEE students Brian Ang Jun Hao, Yeo Chee Cong and Ramasamy Viknesh.<\/p>\n
