Dunwoody Architecture students enter their semester final projects at 2017 BWBR competition. <\/strong><\/h5>\n
\n

Six Dunwoody Architecture students participated in the 2017 BWBR Prize for the first time<\/a> last month, each leaving the competition with real-world experience, improved final projects, and some extra cash.<\/p>\n

Celina Nelson took home one of the competition\u2019s first-place prizes and a $1,500 check, while the remaining Dunwoody contestants received $250 for participating.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel a new sense of confidence that I haven\u2019t had before,\u201d said Nelson.<\/p>\n

Dunwoody eligible to compete in BWBR Prize for the first time <\/strong><\/h6>\n

St. Paul architecture firm BWBR<\/a> hosts the competition each year as a way for architecture and interior design students entering their final year of schooling to meet, network, and prepare for their careers.<\/p>\n

With Dunwoody Architecture\u2019s first cohort set to graduate next year, this was the very first year Dunwoody has been eligible to compete in the annual event.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was nervous [to compete], because this would be the first time that our final presentation would be for a prize, and not a grade,\u201d Nelson said. \u201cThe stakes were definitely high.\u201d<\/p>\n

Each participating college was judged separately at the event, with students typically competing with projects or finals they had already created for school. Students presented their projects to a panel of BWBR employees who then critiqued them on their designs, presentation, and public speaking skills.<\/p>\n

Dunwoody student submissions consisted of their final projects for an Architecture Studio class. This was one of the first classes where students had the freedom to create their own client as well as independently design a building from start to finish.<\/p>\n

Nelson\u2014whose project was a single-family residential home\u2014said the entire process provided her with a new way of thinking and working.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was nice to create the parameters of the client first and then design for<\/em> the client,\u201d Nelson said. \u201cInstead of just being willy nilly like, \u2018I want a fireplace here\u2019, \u2018I want a door here.\u2019<\/p>\n

\"Interior

\u201cBecause when you have a real<\/em> client, you have to have empathy and have to understand where they\u2019re coming from and design for them<\/em>, not for yourself. That was a really important lesson that I took away from this: learning how to say \u2018their house\u2019, \u2018they wanted this\u2019, instead of \u2018I wanted this.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

The first round of Architecture graduates are set to graduate in May of 2018.<\/p>\n
