1xbet online casino bring K-State top honors in 2020 NEXT Competition
Chloe Cudney, a fourth-year master's student ininterior architecture & industrial 1xbet online casino in the College of Architecture, Planning & 1xbet online casino was named winner of theseventh annual NEXT Competition sponsored by Steelcase.
Cudney, Marysville; Reid Thornburg, also a fourth-year graduate student ininterior architecture & industrial 1xbet online casino from Lenexa; andthree other semifinalists traveled to Steelcase in Grand Rapids, Michigan, to meet with a panel of judges and compete in the competition.
All five students presented 1xbet online casino projects to the judges, defended 1xbet online casino concepts and communicated 1xbet online casino design decisions with a Q&A that followed. Each student far exceeded the panel's expectations and it was a very tough decision for the judges; however, it was ultimately Cudney who prevailed.
Coming into the final presentations, each semifinalist was on equal footing. The next stage of the decision-making process was based on the ability of each student to clearly articulate how 1xbet online casino solution fulfills the client's business objectives as well as how it supports the needs of the NEXT occupants to determine the overall winner.
"Just like in the real world of design professionals, those that most often win new client projects are those who can best demonstrate 1xbet online casino understanding of the client's needs and how 1xbet online casino proposed solutions solve for them," said Jerry Holmes, principal, Steelcase."All five of the semifinalists did an excellent job of this and it was a very tough and narrow decision; however, is was Chloe who was ultimately selected by the judges."
Though one overall winner was announced, Steelcase recognized all the semifinalists and honorable mentions as they rose to the top of more than 1,000 1xbet online casino who participated.
Cudney and her program will each receive ,500. Thornburg and the other semifinalists and 1xbet online casino programs will all receive ,250 each. In addition to the prize money awarded, each semifinalist student will receive his or her own custom-designed Steelcase SILQ or Think chair.
Michelle Wempe, also from Marysville, and professor of practice in interior architecture & industrial 1xbet online casino , led the studio and marked the second consecutive year that a student in her class achieved top honors. K-State's Kanoa San Miguel won in 2019.
"Steelcase puts together a tremendous teaching tool with the program for the NEXT competition — it challenges students with real-world problems and complex programs in real environments,"Wempe said. "Chloe and Reid are both focused students who understand how to research and question the problems they are presented and use that work to create insightful solutions. I am tremendously proud of both Chloe and Reid, along with 1xbet online casino classmates, for jobs truly well done. As an alumna who has returned to her roots, it is truly inspiring to see our program and students continue the top-notch work that has been our calling card since the beginning."
Steelcase challenged the students to design a multifloor 11,600-square-foot learning space to support changing behaviors and expectations in a learning environment. The students' project, the "NEXT Hub," is a place that allows members of the community in Washington, D.C., the freedom and resources to come and learn new things, challenge themselves, network with others, and achieve 1xbet online casino goals.

"Two wonderfully talented and involved students, I am not surprised Chloe and Reid were neck and neck in recognition for the top prize," said Tim de Noble, fellow of the American Insititute of Architects and dean of APDesign. "In reading through the email exchange between the faculty and the students, I was reminded not only of how capable both of these students are in 1xbet online casino discipline, but how wonderfully supportive they are of each other in 1xbet online casino shared academic trajectory, a poignant testament of 1xbet online casino ethics and to the mentoring of 1xbet online casino faculty."
