LINE SCALE FORM DESIGN AWARD SPOTLIGHT! Four Missi

LINE SCALE FORM DESIGN AWARD SPOTLIGHT! Four Mississippi State University architecture students are the most recent recipients of a student design competition sponsored by Line Scale Form. Winners were awarded $500 each and were selected during the studio’s final jury reviews by President of Line Scale Form, Bruce Herrington, visiting reviewers, the project client and studio professors.

Victoria Harrington is a native of the Mississippi Gulf Coast where she has always taken inspiration from the culture and art that took root in the area. She has always had a love for creating and designing but found her love for architecture after starting her college career. For her, architecture was a perfect balance of physical beauty and mathematical perfection which made it the perfect profession as these were two things she loved to study. Throughout her architectural education, she has discovered that, to her, architecture is not just about creating a building itself but about how its spaces are experienced, and how they elicit human interaction. This was one of her main focuses while designing a community center in this semester’s project, “Architecture for Climate Change” in Assistant Professor Silvina Lopez Barrera’s fourth-year studio. This studio explored the ways architecture can respond and adapt to the demands of climate change through “shelter” interventions in vulnerable communities in Mississippi.

LINE SCALE FORM DESIGN AWARD SPOTLIGHT! Four Missi

LINE SCALE FORM DESIGN AWARD SPOTLIGHT! Four Mississippi State University architecture students are the most recent recipients of a student design competition sponsored by Line Scale Form. Winners were awarded $500 each and were selected during the studio’s final jury reviews by President of Line Scale Form, Bruce Herrington, visiting reviewers, the project client and studio professors.

Nada Abdel-Aziz is from Greenwood, MS in the Mississippi Delta. She is currently a fourth-year student in the MSU School of Architecture and has just completed her first semester in the accelerated Master of Landscape Architecture program. She discovered architecture through after-school carpentry classes. Getting to build for her hometown with other youth inspired her to pursue a career in architecture. After three years of school and some practice, she finds that one of her favorite parts of the profession is meeting clients and seeing their vision and role in the world. This semester’s focus on sustainable and equitable architecture has taught her to deepen her thoughtfulness and care towards technical systems in order to marry sustainability and design.

Abdel-Aziz's project, “Architecture for Climate Change,” was completed in Assistant Professor Silvina Lopez Barrera’s fourth-year studio.

This studio explored the ways architecture can respond and adapt to the demands of climate change through “shelter” interventions in vulnerable communities in Mississippi. Students researched and analyzed successful examples of climate-adaptive housing and shelters around the world and used their research to develop master plans and schematic designs for immediate and long-term shelters for a chosen site in either Greenville or Gulfport.

Abdel-Aziz said having a studio project focused on sustainability and resiliency gave her and her classmates the opportunity to learn more about green infrastructure and sustainable architecture.

Happy Veteran's Day! Please join us in thanking al

Happy Veteran's Day! Please join us in thanking all of our U.S. Veterans today and every day. The year 2020 marks 75 years since the end of World War II in 1945. Normally, we'd all be celebrating in the streets of downtown Birmingham at the country's oldest Veterans Day parade. However the parade in Birmingham has been cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. You can stream a virtual ceremony today at 4:30 p.m. from the organization's website - nationalveteransday.org. Also, Veteran Disaster Relief Team Inc., will have a “Birmingham Veterans Day Formation” on Nov. 11 starting at 3 p.m. at Linn Park in Birmingham, with a procession to Regions Field and back.

"Imagine practicing architecture in a place where there is NO statute of repose for professional liability. None. Zip. Nada. Where your potential liability could be passed to your heirs. ⁠
⁠
This was Alabama 40 years ago. Through AIA-guided collaboration, architects advocated for a nominal statute of repose (13 years), and then for the more reasonable statute (7 years) that exists today!" ⁠
⁠
- Bruce Herrington, AIA, LEED AP, Founding Principal at @linescaleform & 2020 @aiaalabama President⁠

Join Bruce & other @aianational members in speaking to elected leaders about these and other issues. To quote Bruce, "If we don't champion these issues, no one will speak up for us!"

Tune into #DCDSanFran today to learn more about the application of incorporating a battery storage system as the primary source of backup power into the design of data center facilities. As more data center facilities focus on innovation and sustainability, incorporating clean sources of energy into the data center design model provides an innovative way to reduce data center facilities’ overall impact to local communities and the global environment. Speakers are Rachel Morehead (@uab_it), Rajan Battish (@rsp.design) and Jake Milan (@teslamotors) - we've thoroughly enjoyed partnering with them on the Technology Innovation Center at UAB!
