Architecture Students Take Top Prizes in NESEA
By CHRISTINA BREAKELL | Apr. 19, 2002Five architecture students and their professor were well rewarded for their imagined revision of one of Buffalo's oldest neighborhoods, creating a more eco-friendly "fruit belt."The students, from UB's School of Architecture, took home first, second and third prizes in The Northeast Sustainable Energy Association's "Building Energy 2002 Conference" Saturday, March 23.Under the supervision of Professor Dennis Andrejko, architecture students Hwan Choi, Eric Dolph, Sandra Heiser, Sheng Lin and Ashish Maldikar were given three weeks to devise their models for a "green home."The team's project theme was close to home: create a housing prototype for Buffalo's "fruit belt" neighborhood - encompassing the downtown area's Grape, Peach, Orange and Lemon streets - that used energy in efficient and inventive ways."The project had a tripartite focus," said Dolph.
