2014 GenK Student Design Competition Winners Announced

Congratulations are in order for the winners of the 2014 GenK competition. Short for Generation Kingspan, GenK is a student architectural design competition created and sponsored by Kingspan Insulated Panels. This online-based competition is designed to offer design students the opportunity to showcase their talents and gain industry recognition, along with peer and mentor feedback based on their project entries.

GenK judge, Lira Luis AIA RIBA LEED AP BD+C, expressed her appreciation of the entrants’ work. “This year, I particularly noticed the entries’ marked sophistication, through the execution of ideas rendered in the presentation drawings. They are raising the bar on the possibilities of insulated metal panels as an innovative and ecological building material in their designs. The Architecture & Design community showed progressive interest in the Generation Kingspan Student Architectural Design Competition as there are more entries than in any prior year. This tells me the competition is filling a creative need among our future architects and designers.”
