Architecture students earn prizes



The School of Architecture recently announced student competition winners. Graduate student Karl Gustafson won a $3,500 fellowship in the school's 2000 Steedman II Competition for his portfolio and proposal to study the work of noted 20th-century Swedish architect Sigurd Lewerentz. Gustafson will focus on Lewerentz's Resurrection Chapel and Woodland Cemetery in Stockholm and St. Petri Church in Klippan, Sweden.

Graduate student Martin Padilla received the first Ralph H. Jackson Jr. Flad Prize. Flad & Associates created the award in honor of Jackson, an architecture alumnus who is retiring as president of the firm. Padilla was selected to receive the award, which will be given annually, in recognition of his outstanding academic record, portfolio and professional promise as a designer. The prize includes a $2,500 stipend and a paid internship in Flad's St. Louis office.
