    Project entry 2011 North America – Energy efficient university building, Lawrence, KS, USA

    South elevation.

The jury acknowledges the project for its particular educative concept and the engagement with issues of sustainable construction illustrated in the program. The in-depth participation of students in the construction process is demonstrated as a successful component in the curriculum, substantially amplifying the learning outcomes beyond the pure experience of being a construction worker. Through the openness of the building’s function, this experience is shared not only with the few students who participate in the project – but is also transferred to the community and future students. The adoption of the building’s approach within the community is grounded by its integrative financial concept.
