The winning house designs by the finalist students will be exhibited during the 2024 Round Table Forum, discussing and debating the Future of Housing, hosted at the Fox Chapel Golf Club.
Each finalist student and parent/guardian will be invited on a guided tour of the Troy Hill Art Houses, four existing townhouses re-imagining domestic spaces as permanent, public artworks.
Each finalist student will be invited to shadow Matthew Schlueb over the summer of 2024, to assist with the design and construction of a current SCHLUEBarchitecture project, including meetings with clients, contractors, suppliers, and artisans crafting signature features for the home. Matthew will offer insights into architectural education and professional practice, as well as assistance in preparing student portfolios and applications to college.
