Urban Land Institute/Genald D. Hines Urban Design Competition

REAE@UTA has competed in this competition the first two years it was run. If anyone is interested, we can try to put an interdisciplinary team together this year. Teams consist of five graduate students and should be a mix from the Business School, the Architecture School, and the Urban Planning School. Since this is a design competition, the ideal mix is probably 1 or at most 2 business students. Also, if any business students have backgrounds in architecture or planning, this is a big plus.

For more information on the competition, please visit www.udCompetition.ULI.org

The application deadline is December 5, 2008, so teams should be put together before the end of this fall semester. The competition runs from January 19 to February 2. If you are interested you need to clear your schedule during the competition period. This competition requires your complete attention, total dedication, and a lot of hard work (and this is just to finish by the deadline!). Also, you should be in good academic standing with a 3.2 GPA or higher. Students who have participated do say it was a great experience that they will never forget.

If interested, contact me at ahansz@gmail.com. If we can get two or three dedicated real estate students, I will contact the Architecture School.
