Student Competition Twenty-one architecture students from universi- ties across the U.S. were honored in the 12th An- nual Steel Design Student Competition. Admin- istered by the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA) and sponsored by the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC), the program challenges architecture students, working individu- ally or in teams, to explore a variety of design issues related to the use of steel in design and construction. A total of $14,000 in cash prizes was awarded to the winning students and their faculty sponsors. Students submitted designs in two categories
that required steel to be used as the primary struc- tural material, and with special emphasis placed on innovation in steel design. The Culinary Arts College category required students to design steel-framed facilities with at least one long-span steel structure. Designs were to include amenities such as teaching kitchens, a pastry kitchen, classrooms and a demon- stration laboratory. In the Open Category, students were given the opportunity to select a site and build- ing program that included at least one long-span steel structure. This category required the designs to be of equal complexity and size as designs submitted in the Culinary Arts College category. The award winners in each category are:
