For two Penn students, the world as they see it today is not enough. When they look outside their window, they see a canvas, and they are on a mission to paint cityscapes.
These are the minds of School of Design graduate students Wei Tang and Jianan Zhang, two minds that recently won first place and third place respectively in the Bower Lewis Thrower Architects—or BLTa—Student Design Competition.
Now in its fifth year, the competition is open to undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in certified architectural programs. Each year, BLTa identifies a real-world building site and asks its contestants to give it a redesign.
A Philadelphia firm, BLTa has only picked locations from the local area as a way to reaffirm its community focus. This year’s competition was at the Leon H. Sullivan Human Services Center, near Temple University on North Broad Street.
