Aldine High Student Named Finalist in National Architecture Competition

Disponible en:

Student Alejandro Rangel of Aldine High School placed among the top 10 finalists in the Chicago Architecture Foundation’s (CAF) 2013 DiscoverDesign National High School Architecture Competition.

A 70-member jury team of architects, engineers, designers, architectural educators and university professors from 19 states and four countries chose the designs.

Representing 32 high schools in 16 states, 226 teens created solutions to redesign their school library into a study space for the 21st century.

The winners of the competition were announced June 11 at DiscoverDesign.org. As an Honorable Mention/national finalist, Rangel will receive a certificate and a small memento celebrating his design work.

On Rangel’s design, the Round 1 Jury said, “This is an absolutely amazing project. Well done. Clearly, you (Rangel) have put in a significant amount of research, thought and production. There is a wonderful evolution visible in your design process.”

Michael Willis is Rangel’s CAD (computer-aided design) architecture and engineering teacher.
