The competition was reviewed by Shihomi Kuriyagawa and Emily Urquhart at the City of Boulder Parks and Recreation Department.

Congratulations to this year's Latin Honors recipients!

At the end of each fall semester, Environmental Design (ENVD) hosts a building-wide exhibition of design and research produced by students and faculty.

Sticky metal playgrounds and hot asphalt. Bare patches of dirt on browning soccer fields. Limited shade with no space for solitude and quiet. A small cluster of trees - sometimes. This is what tends to come to mind when we think about a typical schoolyard. Soon, however, six Boulder Valley School District (BVSD) schoolyards may receive a green makeover.

Earlier this month, students from the third-year intermediate environmental product design studio set up the EPOP shop at the Firefly Handmade Holiday Market in Downtown Boulder.

Under Ferguson Pyatt鈥檚 mentorship, fourth year architecture student Masani Salazar designed and constructed a three-bedroom floorplan prototype model at an 8-inch scale, mirroring the Taos Pueblo鈥檚 traditional style of architecture. She hopes that by designing housing that is familiar and comfortable, built out of adobe or similar material and following traditional architectural styles, more people will choose to stay in the community.

As part of an independent study course, the students working on the project have spent the summer retrofitting ENVD 134A: installing new carpet tiles to mitigate sound reflection, adding updated lighting systems and constructing floor-to-ceiling shelving units built to accommodate and showcase the variety of design materials.

Over the summer, a hard-working group of faculty, staff and students spent months updating studio spaces in both the basement and eastern wing of the third floor.

In spring 2023, four students submitted work to the Milan Affordable Housing Challenge, a design competition part of the Buildner鈥檚 architecture competition series. The series is aimed at addressing the global housing crisis and redefining urban living.

The Environmental Design First Year Experience (FYE) Program completed a legacy project and brightened up the first-year studios with fun, geometric murals, now nicknamed 鈥淭he Underground.鈥�
