SE students are celebrating Architecture Month on SE Campus and in the community.
Students started the month with a design competition. Participants created chairs primarily from cardboard although they could use other materials to improve strength.
The judging criteria included the ability to support the weight of a 125- to 175-pound seated person, aesthetics and original design. Although not a requirement, stackability of chairs was given special consideration. Contestants were also judged on their presentations, craftsmanship and creativity. Winners will be announced at an April 25 lecture.
A panel spotlighting three emerging Fort Worth designers/architects will discuss their work 7-8:30 p.m. April 13 in ESEE 2316. Panelists include Richard Hunt, Chris Hall and Bart Shaw.
Students can get a firsthand feel of architecture with a walking tour of downtown Fort Worth April 16. Participants will meet at 1 p.m. at the Tarrant County Courthouse steps. RSVP is required.
