This year, six Georgia Tech School of Architecture students received AMP awards in the categories of mixed-use architecture, small architecture, and installation and structures.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/arch.gatech.edu\/master-architecture\u0022\u003EMaster of Architecture\u003C\/a\u003E (M.Arch) student, Clay Kiningham, won in the categories of Miscellaneous Architecture, Mixed Use Architecture, and Green Architecture with his project Fourth and Foundry\u0026ndash;Timber Housing Towers in South Boston. This project serves as a prototype for the future of sustainable timber cities. In the Spring 2019 semester, Kiningham\u0026rsquo;s project also received the Portman Studio Prize, a competition studio supported by \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/portmanarchitects.com\/\u0022\u003EPortman Architects\u003C\/a\u003E.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EEmily Wirt (M.Arch \u0026rsquo;19) also placed in the Mixed Use Architecture category. Wirt\u0026rsquo;s project titled, \u0026ldquo;Pockets\u0026rdquo; was designed during her final Design + Research studio. \u0026ldquo;Pockets are surprising gathering spaces created through simple means,\u0026rdquo; aaid Wirt. \u0026ldquo;Moments of exception are embedded within a dense mixed-use building grid, raveling through channels of light, sound, and air.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAlso among the winners from Georgia Tech, Yevgenia (Jane) Ilyasova (\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/arch.gatech.edu\/bachelor-science-architecture\u0022\u003EBachelor of Science in Architecture\u003C\/a\u003E \u0026rsquo;19) received an award in the landscape architecture category for Installations and Structures. Ilyasova\u0026rsquo;s project, \u0026ldquo;Theater of the Landscape\u0026rdquo; created a site on Angel Island that would memorialize Asian immigration from around 1890, when they were tragically kept in barracks as they awaited citizenship before being turned away. The new sanctuary would highlight its past while providing a refuge for new and future citizens.
