Cal Poly Architecture and Environmental Design Course Wins National Award
SAN LUIS OBISPO – Faculty from Cal Poly’s College of Architecture and Environmental Design were awarded a top prize for creative integration of practice and education presented by the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB). The award came with a $7,500 prize.
The competition entry was based on an interdisciplinary fourth-year studio taught by architecture faculty Tom Fowler and Jim Doerfler and architectural engineering faculty Kevin Dong.
Since the NCARB Prize for Creative Integration of Practice and Education in the Academy was launched in 2001, the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards has awarded a total of $437,500 to NAAB-accredited architectural programs that integrate architectural education and practice in innovative ways.
