TCA/PCA Fire Storm Housing 2008 Winners
This year's competition sought to challenge entrants to creatively solve the problem of producing a custom, single-family residence for a model home.
Students in the field of architecture, currently in graduate or undergraduate programs, were invited to present conceptual designs for firestorm-resistant housing located in the Santa Ana region of California using site-cast concrete Tilt-Up panels for their shell components.
Winners
