register their team and be asked to:
1. Submit a written narrative
that describes their design and program, up to 250 words.
2. Respond to a series of
targeted questions that w ill assist a jury in understanding how each

wealth-building components of their idea.
3. Submit one drawing of their
proposed design
Questions can be found in the
submission details included in this document. A jury will review all
submissions. Five submissions from Phase I will continue on to Phase II. Phase
I will open on December 1st, and conclude on January 31st.
PHASE II: Design
The five participants selected

Design Challenge:
Chicago is a product of its lines – lines that conceptually and physically demarcate, regulate, contain, separate , and knit together our physical environment. These seams and boundaries, through their thickness and content, have the power to both connect and divide. Some lines, like the invisible one that Eugene Williams inadvertently crossed, segregate groups of people to devastating effect without leaving a physical trace. Others, such as those encircling parishes and neighborhoods, bring people together and foster identities that remain strong even after the lines themselves disappear from maps. Ward and police district boundaries can determine the distribution of power and resources between communities. Zoning boundaries separate the cityscape into distinct parcels, their character and growth set into motion by planners for decades to come. Revitalized infrastructural lines, such as the 606, are a magnet for visitors and investors, setting off a ripple of urban regeneration along their length.

Douglas Haskell Award for Student Journals - May 1 Entry Deadline
This award (of up to $5K) was founded to encourage student journalism on architecture, planning, and related subjects, and to foster regard for intelligent criticism among future professionals. The award is not intended as a prize for individuals, but is intended to support the ongoing publication of student-edited journals whose subject matter could include architectural design, history, and theory. Click here for more information.
The Design that Educates Awards (DtEA) investigate the educational potential of architecture and design. The ability to communicate the implemented solutions and features is the main theme of the awards. Such an informational layer of design and architecture provides an important (yet not fully explored) opportunity for a dialog between the user and the designer. The result—a new type of learning environment—provides a space for the exploration of both the design itself and its relation to the vaster context. Each year, the esteemed panel of judges will select the most outstanding examples. The objective of the awards is to recognize, showcase, and promote globally the best ideas and implementations of architecture and design that educate. Late registration deadline is 1 February 2019.____________________________________
