STUDIO NJIT: TEMPLE OF FREEDOM

New Jersey Institute of Technology, Adjunct Professor

Design Build Studio, Annual Brick Build Competition
Winner of the Competition – Master Mason and Tectonic Awards


The main goal for the projects is to speculate the future of masonry. The project asks students to use tectonic, construction techniques, and representation as lenses to view historical and contemporary masonry building practice.

The competition and build process provided a great experience for students to work with the local engineers, masons, and sponsors.

Students: Kelly Barragan, Kodjo Bolouvi, Miluska Franco, Rohan Ganta, Therapon Georgiou, Alexander Kwok, Emma Lamparelli, Christian Lazo, Meraj Nasir, Alin Rahman, Henry Ricatto, Jalaysia Stevenson, Renae Van Grouw
