Nemetschek NA Announces VectorWorks Architecture Contest
'Design Your Future' for students of architecture
 COLUMBIA, MD,
Mar 3, 2008 - Nemetschek North America, makers of VectorWorks Architect
software, announces the "Design Your Future" VectorWorks 2008 design
competition for students of architecture. Sponsored by Architect magazine
and supported by the American Institute of Architecture Students (AIAS),
this competition is open to any student enrolled in an undergraduate or
graduate collegiate-level design program anywhere in the U.S. Students
graduating in winter 2007/2008 or in spring 2008 are eligible with proof of
student status.
"We are excited about this chance to showcase the work of the
architectural designers of the future," says Nick La Forest, Nemetschek
North America's academic program manager. "And, our free student software
program provides students with a chance to create those designs using
VectorWorks Architect."
Participants will choose one of three VectorWorks templates provided by
Nemetschek North America, representing the three competition categories:
interior environment (ambience), functionality, and design integration.
Nemetschek North America staff will prescreen entries and choose category
winners. The designers with the highest score in each category will win an
all-expenses-paid trip to the AIA 2008 National Convention and Design
Exposition in Boston, May 15-17, 2008. At the convention, each winner will
present his or her design to a panel of accomplished architecture educators
and professionals, who will select a grand prize winner for overall design
excellence. The grand prize winner will be announced at the convention. The
winning project will be featured in a national publication and in Nemetschek
North America's company newsletter (the eDispatch). Additionally, NNA will
publicize the winner on its website and in a press release to the
architectural community.
