Congratulations to Cynthia Lily Tran, who received two awards for her project The Hopefuls. Lily received second place for the Norm Li Visualization Award, presented annually to full-time undergraduate students in the School of Architecture who are enrolled in an advanced visualization course. Selection is based on a strong understanding and passion for design, as evidenced by architectural visualizations completed in any elective or core advanced visualization course, demonstrating outstanding storytelling, artistic composition, and technical skill in the field. 

Lily also received the award for Outstanding Design Work in 3B (Arch 393, Levitt studio)for the 3B term in Fall 2019.

ARCH 393 002
Creative Instincts & Architectural Imagination
Coordinated by Andrew Levitt
This studio is an invitation to create - students are invited to use the assignments of this studio to explore their creative instincts and learn how they can best flourish and be expressed.

This project places the viewer at two ends of the same spectrum. Whether the viewer is a content Hu-man, or a longing Hopeful is dependent on them. This cyclical story illustrates how one world view feeds and transforms into the other, perpetually in flux. The drawings open up to create windows into this story, allowing the viewer to witness the scenes with a depth that penetrates through the surface the drawings lay on.

View the project.
