Nathan Phillip Square student design competition

Today was the final due date for the Nathan Phillip Square student competition. I was in a group of four people, all which are current UofT students. Being the busy and lazy students that we are, we left the project till the very last minute. Although we met regularly to talk about our ideas, we didn’t put pencil to paper until Tuesday late afternoon. We finished it in two days, which is record breaking. I think so anyways.

We ended up driving the foam boards to University of Guelph today after we completed the project. After spending some time trying to navigate through the campus we finally came across the Landscape Architecture building. We were greeted by the schools dean, Maurice Nelischer. He is a real up beat guy that gave us a tour of the building and introduced us to the students currently there. From the looks of it the architecture program seems quite good!

Maurice told us that they had received over 40 entries and were expecting more, since 140 groups had initially registered. He also mentioned that there were some groups from as far as Australia, South Korea and Vegas. That’s real amazing!

They are planning on having a presentation on the student competition sometime in May and a website with all the entries. So I will keep anyone interested up dated!

Competition winners are going to be announced probably sometime in April. Our group is aiming for an honourable mention. heh.

Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
