Cal Poly Architecture Student Honored for Design of “Deployable Pod”
SAN LUIS OBISPO – Cal Poly Architecture student Cody Williams was selected for the Special Mention: Deployable Pod category in the annual d3 Housing Tomorrow International Architectural Design Competition.
According to d3, this year’s competition called for transformative solutions that advance sustainable thought, building performance, and social interaction through study of intrinsic environmental geometries, social behaviors, urban implications, and programmatic flows.
Williams, a senior, completed the project as an independent study under the supervision of Professor Thomas Fowler, IV. In addition, Williams’ project will soon be featured in the online magazine "Tuvie: Design of the Future" and was selected by d3 for an exhibition in Monterrey, Mexico.
