“Winners of the 2nd Annual Universal Design Awards reveal how the next generation of designers are rethinking accessible architecture,” says Architizer in an article published on March 15, 2022.

The article highlights work produced by third-year University of Arizona undergraduate architecture students in a studio sponsored by Ascension Wheelchair Lifts. This is the second year of the sponsorship that provides technical insight as well as financial awards to students.

The student designs are set on a steeply sloped site in Bisbee, a historic mining town in Southeastern Arizona. Winning student designs highlighted in Architizer are:

  • Bisbee Mercado by Alexis Campion
  • Bisbee Art Center by Andy Demetriou
  • Apiledo Theatre Company by Brandon Willmon
  • Bisbee Sculpture Park & Museum by Ralph Mersiowsky
  • Light + Light + Performance by Tyler Newman
  • Culinary Arts Center by Eva Serbin

Lecture Recap | The Cyborg Watershed of the American West | A Jones Studio Grand Challenges Lecture featuring Lauren Bon

An engineered network of waterways flowing west from the Rockies sustains life in one of the hottest regions on Earth, forming a “cyborg watershed” that blends natural systems with human-made infrastructure and regional mythologies. Bon explored this system through her large-scale artworks, examining buried waterways, the complexities of policy and politics, and the pursuit of a civic identity shaped by water rather than boundaries.
