m.arch on display Graduating M.Arch students concluded their year with final project juries. The students’ projects were not only evaluated for final grades, but also for potential inclusion in the School of Architecture’s M.Arch Awarded Projects Exhibition. Christian Borgan, Miranda Christensen, John Kretchmer, and Kavwimba Mdumuka’s projects were selected to be displayed for the entire summer in Rapson Hall’s HGA Gallery. Pictured above is a rendering from Kretchmer and Mdumuka’s project.

When designing for today’s workplace, interior designers are increasingly called upon to think beyond the traditional cubicle and create a more contemporary space. Interior design students in Abimbola Asojo and Justine Pliska’s IDES 2604 experienced this first-hand when they were asked to design a third-place work cafe as part of a competition from Haworth. Although the decision was tough, the jurors ultimately selected Emily Walther for first place in IDES 2604 section one and for first place overall. Karly Basara was selected for first place in IDES 2604 section two, and Mikaila Kopcho was named the winner of the social media contest. z.umn.edu/emgf17e
