Best 3D Modeling: KANG Jian, student at The University of Hong Kong (Hong Kong, China)

Summary of judges’ comments: This work is totally eye-catching. It’s a simple design and well organized. Good subtle solution for housing with great analysis. Final strategy is clear but design solution is still diagrammatic.

Best 2D Plan: Charlotte Le Dain, student at the École Spéciale d’Architecture (Paris, France)
