K-STATE ARCHITECTURE STUDENT FROM MCPHERSON RECEIVES HONOR AWARD FROM THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF ARCHITECTS

MANHATTAN -- A design project has earned a Kansas State University student the highest award given by Kansas architecture professionals.

Adam Wagoner, a fourth-year student in architecture, McPherson, received an Honor Award for Student Architecture from the American Institute of Architects Kansas for his scheme of the "Seattle Martial Arts Center."

Wagoner worked on the project in a spring 2007 studio class taught by Larry Bowne, assistant professor of architecture. The award was presented at the November meeting of the American Institute of Architects Kansas in Topeka.

The jury chair was Audrey O'Hagan, Audrey O'Hagan Architects LLC, Newton, Mass., and a member of the American Institute of Architects. Other members of the jury were David J. Hacin, Hacin and Associates Inc.; Robert Taylor, Taylor & Burns Architects; and Elizabeth Whittaker, Merge Architects, all of Boston and all members of the American Institute of Architects.

Bowne said that Wagoner's project embodied the student's keen interest in the experiential and spiritual aspects of design, and was particularly well-crafted in physical and digital modeling.

The American Institute of Architects Kansas is a not-for-profit association that fosters the capacity of the architectural profession to serve society.
