NOMINATOR: Annette LeCuyer, Professor of ArchitectureĮngaging concepts such as openness and porosity, Harris developed a facade that would introduce a spectrum of daylighting conditions to the galleries of a contemporary arts center in downtown Buffalo, New York. Model making, including by 3D printing, delves into projects’ context-informed patterns. Highly intricate, almost technical drawings accompanied by detailed site studies, iterative illustrations, and formal explorations help bring Ben Ltaifa’s projects and settings-from the Bronx to Beirut-to life.

As these young minds create formal boundaries, they push them figuratively.
