Roger Clark, a fourth-year architecture student at Kansas State University, Anthony, is receiving a $4,000 scholarship as winner of a College of Architecture, Planning & Design, or APDesign, competition sponsored by Manko Window Systems. Vatsal Patel, also a fourth-year architecture student, India, is receiving a $1,000 runner-up scholarship.
Clark’s project was “MOVE: A Wichita Dance House” from assistant professor Genevieve Baudoin’s studio. The design was an assignment in his fourth-year comprehensive studio class, requiring students to integrate conceptual and technical knowledge into one complete project for a presentation with drawings, renderings and models. Following a review, one student from each studio was selected to compete for the Manko award, with each developing a narrative slide presentation to present to judges, who were all established practitioners in the field.
Patel’s project was “Solitude and Commune — a Cistercian Monastery” from assistant professor Chad Schwartz’s studio.
As part of the graduation requirements, both Clark and Patel will be on academic internship for the spring 2019 semester.
