Landscape Architecture Students Sweep Awards in National Student Design Competition
College of Agriculture fourth year landscape architecture
students were selected for the top three awards in the Low Impact
Development National Student Design Competition sponsored by
Prince George's County, the University of Maryland and the
Environmental Protection Agency.
Winning projects were displayed at the National Low Impact
Development Conference held in Washington,DC, on September 21-23, 2004.
The Individual Project category first place award went to
Ryan Bandy, Lexington, KY;
second place to Christopher Barkley, Knoxville, TN; and third
place to Christian Comer, Hartford, KY. There
were 21 individual entries and 27 group
entries in this preeminent competition from 12 programs or universities
in the
disciplines of landscape architecture, architecture, civil engineering,
planning/urban design and environmental science.
The competition invited students to submit design and
planning problems and solutions that respond to the innovative and
creative use
of low impact development techniques in the built environment.
Low Impact Development (LID) is an integrated
site design approach for addressing hydrologic and environmental
impacts associated with conventional land development. Developers and
builders can save money and reduce environmental impacts in a
practical manner utilizing LID
techniques and practices.
