2010 Heintzelman Prizes Announced

Final projects by a number of graduating architecture students at Kansas State University were recently selected for special recognition in the Heintzelman Prize Competition.

The Heintzelman Prize is awarded annually for outstanding design achievements by students in the final semester of the College of Architecture, Planning and Design professional master of architecture degree program. The prize is named after J. Cranston Heintzelman, a long-time teacher in the Department of Architecture. One student in each of eight fifth-year class sections was selected by the faculty as Heintzelman nominees. A distinguished jury then selected one Heintzelman Prize winner and two honorable mention recipients from among the eight nominees.

The 2010 Heintzelman Prize recipient is Joshua Perez, Ashton, IL, for “RePlace 122.” His instructor was Professor Ray Streeter.

Honorable mention was awarded to Mitchell Karr, Newton, KS, for “Manhattan High School Football Stadium in CiCo Park,” and to Bradley Price, Blue Springs, MO, for “Musikhalle.” Their instructors were Professors Matthew Knox and Ulf Meyer, respectively.

Nominees were Andrew Barnes, Overland Park, KS, for “Hazelwood House;” Rachel Duncan, Dardenne Prairie, MO, for “Triangle Park;” Amanda Garbach, Overland Park, KS, for “The Ad Loft;” Thomas Haller, Leavenworth, KS, for “Collaborative Research Center;” and Samuel McGlone, San Antonio, TX, for “Oasis.” Their instructors were Professors Susanne Siepl-Coates, Vladimir Krstic, Nathan Howe, Torgeir Norheim and Robert Condia, respectively.

The projects are on display through the summer of 2010 in the Chang Gallery, as well as the first floor east hallway and the hallway flanking Room 212, all in Seaton Hall.

This year’s invited jurors were Pia Sarpaneva, associate professor, School of Architecture, University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, AR; S. Jay Siebenmorgen, AIA, LEED AP, KSU alumnus and design principal, NBBJ, New York, NY; and Jerry Yudelson, PE, MBA, LEED AP, Tucson, AZ. The jurors noted they “liked the ambition by the students as exhibited in their projects and that they all had been obviously thoroughly researched.” The jurors also noted that “it was interesting to see how different each design solution was, as well as the drawing and model studies were finely crafted as has come to be expected from K-State architecture students.”

The hosting of jurors and events was generously underwritten by Davidson-Brown Architects, Engineers and Planners, Lenexa, KS.
