Design Charette at AEI Forum - 'Bridge the Gap'

'Bridge the Gap' Student Competition is an on-the-spot, 2-1/2 hour long, engaging and fun design event for AEI students at the Forum event. Following a tour of a state-of-the-art modular construction facility, participating students will be organized into small groups with their own professional mentors to address a building-design challenge. Teams can choose one of three categories of design:

  • Building massing and planning, or
  • Building systems, or
  • Detailed design of one space.

Each student in the design-teams will get the opportunity to try out a technical role of their choosing for the day. Stepping into the role of architect, various design-engineers or construction manager, they will collaborate with their student-team and their professional mentors in a multi-disciplinary design approach. Final posters by each team will be judged by a select jury. Top AE design solutions in each category will receive recognition and prizes during the following days of the Forum event.
