Competitions
Urban Land Institute (ULI) Hines Student Competition
The ULI Hines Student Competition is a business plan competition aimed to train graduate students and enhance the ULI best practices of a district development. The competition gives students hands-on experience in the real-world process of working with colleagues from other disciplines to create a viable development project. The teams competing are mostly universities from the East Coast.
The ULI Hines Competition has built the skills and experience of more than 6,000 students since 2003, and thus they start their careers more enlightened about how to work together to get the best outcomes.

Competitions 2
Urban Land Institute (ULI)
“The ULI Hines Student Competition is an urban design and development challenge for graduate students. The competition engages multidisciplinary student teams to devise a comprehensive development program for a real, large-scale site. Teams of five students representing at least three disciplines have two weeks to develop solutions that include drawings, site plans, tables, and market-feasible financial data.
This is an ideas competition; there is no expectation that any of the submitted schemes will be applied to the site. The winning team receives $50,000 and the finalist teams receive $10,000 each. One representative from each finalist team gets an all-expenses-paid site tour in the selected competition city prior to the final presentation. All participating finalist students attend the all-expenses-paid final presentation in the host city to select the winner of the competition.

Latin American Practice
Seminar Course author, ARC 497B 597B
This course presents professional practice in the context of Latin cultures. It allows students to translate what they learn in the School’s professional degrees, based on American standards, to the Latin context. From how architects think about design and professional services, to how those services are rendered, to contracting methods, to how buildings are permitted and built, this course illuminates the cultural differences that distinguish Anglo and Latin practices. It also offers a guide to professional nomenclature in Spanish as well as tips for job searching in Latin cultures. As part of this course, students will research case studies in design and professional practices in Central and South America.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES AND OUTCOMES
After taking this course, students should be able to:
1. Demonstrate an understanding of architecture, landscape architecture, and urbanism characteristic of Central and South America, thus expanding the students’ understanding of global architectural practices.
2. Demonstrate an ability to compare and contrast buildings and modes of professional practice in varying social, economic, and political contexts.
3. Work analytically through research and drawing.
4. Identify the key components of the built environment in Spanish, including exterior and interior spaces, structures, and finishes.
Extra curricular
4/21/2017 - Guest Lecture, "Results of Collaborations between Architects and Structural Engineers at SOM":
Fernando Herrera talked about the importance and celebration of integrated, multidisciplinary collaboration as a key driver of the design process in large buildings around the world. The presentation explored this architectural design approach through an in depth look at the CITIC Financial Center Project in Shenzhen, China.
