A student initiated class hosted by the Architectural Design Program adds Stanford’s campus to Google’s geographic information feature: Google Earth. http://aucompetition.sketchup.com/images/stanford.jpg
The course led by Joseph Bergen and Steven Lehrburger focused on a competition hosted by Google to “Build Your Campus in 3D.” John Barton, a lecturer in architecture, graciously volunteered to be the faculty adviser for this course and was instrumental in guiding the team. In addition to Lehrburger and Bergen, Stanford’s winning team included Anh Tran, Alexia Nielsen, Nthando Thandiwe, Joachim De Lombaert, Ellis Lau, Brian Truebe, Preston Rutherford and Daniel MacDougall.
About 300 teams took part within the United States and Canada. There were seven winning teams. To view Stanford’s entry locate the Stanford campus on Google Earth and then click on the “3-D buildings” button. If you do not have Google Earth,you can see aerial views of the models by going to Google’s “3D Warehouse” website and searching for the Stanford University collection.
For a complete article on this competition click the Stanford Report Link.

CEE 31Q Student Wins Freshman/Sophomore Seminar Award
The Freshman and Sophomore Seminar Program chose 5 pieces of student work to receive the first ever “Introductory Studies Awards.” Student work was chosen from all freshman/sophomore seminars offered during the entire academic year of 2005-06. Work was selected to represent remarkable examples of advanced work done in these seminars.
In the first year this award was given, Julie Byren won for “excellence in design and presentation of visual material” based on her final drawings and design for a “Folly Complex” done in the Sophomore Seminar CEE 31Q: Accessing Architecture Through Drawing.
This year (2006-07),again from Sophomore Seminar CEE 31Q, we have submitted student work for consideration for an award. Clayton Kenney’s “Folly Design” 2006-07 has been handed in for review, but we will not hear the results of this competition until September 07. Cross your fingers for Clayton (now an architecture design major) and click...claytonfolly.pdf to see his final design and drawings for a folly.
