Lyceum competition winners announced
Wednesday, May 02, 2007
Mexico City, Mexico (NCS) - The 2007 Lyceum Fellowship Competition winners were recently announced with Robert Yuen from the University of Illinois at Chicago taking first place with a prize of $10,000 for six months travel abroad.
The competition was called A Hybrid Market for Mexico City and urged entrants to resolve three distinct but interrelated operations: to develop an extensive roof structure as a tectonic and spatial organization system across the site, to create the program for the development as a system of units and multiples or a dialogue between commercial space and public space, and to superimpose an integrated system of public spaces or spatial intensities within the organized commercial space of the market. Colonia Condesa, an early 20th century neighborhood with two large parks and tree-lined boulevards, was the setting for the program.
Yuen’s winning entry was ultimately selected because judges felt it came closest to fulfilling the Program most completely. The jurors also gave this entry an advantage because they felt the presentation of the roof demonstrated a strong structural resolution.
The jury included Marlon Blackwell of Arkansas-based Marlon Blackwell Architects as jury chair and program author; Wendell Burnette of Phoenix-based Wendell Burnette Architects; Fernanda Canales, architect, critic and writer from Mexico City; Russell Rudzinski, architect and professor of the University of Arkansas; Javier Sanchez, partner at Higuera + Sanchez of Mexico City; and Joseph Sziabowski, AIA of the Lyceum Fellowship Committee.
Second prize went to Kyle Coburn of Miami University, Ohio, winning $6,000 for three months travel abroad, and third place recipient Paulina Martinez of Southern California Institute of Architecture earned a $1,000 grant. One citation and four other merit awards were given.
