MASONRY BUILD COMPETITION
Hoboken Public Library
As one of 9 competing architecture studios, my team (designated Team Black) was asked to present a public library for a given site in Hoboken, NJ with a full-scale building mock-up, using masonry as a primary medium. Working with skilled masons, our team was able to develop construction details, select and estimate material costs, as well as plan and execute the actual construction of a mock-up, built along the entry path to the College of Architecture and Design at NJIT. Upon completion, verbal and graphic presentations were held for the COAAD student body, critics, and 6 noteworthy judges. Of 5 possible awarded categories, our team was awarded the following:
1st Place - all round design, mock-up + presentation
1st Place - mock-up design
1st Place - presentation
