Students from around the state took part last month in the AIA Virginia Prize, a design charrette that engages students at all of the accredited schools of architecture in Virginia. Conducted simultaneously at each institution, students were given the competition brief on Friday, September 15th at 5 p.m. They work over the weekend to create a board presenting their design solution by 9 a.m. on Monday, September 18th. This year’s prize brief focused on a Waterfront Terminus on King Street in Alexandria, Virginia.

The winner of this year’s prize will be announced during the General Session at the upcoming Architecture Exchange East conference. The top 10 boards from each school will be on display throughout the conference.
